Easy labels for food leftovers

I keep a little envelope to save small scraps of white paper. I use them to write date & description of food leftovers. A tiny piece of removable scotch tape sticks it to any dry container. When the container is empty, the tape & label peel right off. No hard to clean residue. They will also float right off in the wash if you forget to remove them.

Ziploc Bags

When organizing junk drawers I sort small items and put them in baggies. You can see through them and find what you need easily and nothing gets lost. I also do that with pantyhose/extra makeup,etc.

Family Directory

We have a large family. I created a spreadsheet that I update each year. The spreadsheet has each family's name (including children), address, telephone and mobile numbers, and e-mail address. Makes sending Christmas cards a lot easier.

Hideaway Waste Baskets

Put two cup hooks on the back of the lower bathroom cabinet door, and hang your plastic grocery store bags by their handles. Now you have a hidden bag to dispose of your trash. On trash day, simply remove the bag from the hooks and tie a knot in the bag to toss.

Clean out that Closet

Too many clothes? Put a "donation" box on the closet floor. Every time you open your closet door to get something, put something you haven't worn in a while into the box. Once you've cleaned out your closet, call the charity of your choice to pick up the boxes. It's a tax-deduction too!

Nuts & Bolts

For the best organization of nuts, bolts, nails & other misc. items try using empty grated Parmasean Cheese containers. Simply wash containers, remove labels & you have inexpensive, clear, flip-top storage containers for easy organization.

For easy recycling day

Use different size plastic trash cans (short for cans and tall for plastics). Line trash can with yard plastic bags. Cut one indentation on the lid so that cans or bottles be dropped in while the lid is securely fastened.
