Packing Tip
When traveling, put chunky bracelets or necklaces into a sock and then put them into a shoe into the suitcase. This will allow every space to be filled.

Bag Spotter
When flying, wrap a bright colored ribbon around your suitcase handle. When the luggage comes around the carousel, yours will be easily visible and you'll be on your way!

Family Not Stepping Up?
Are family members adding to the clutter in your home? Assign responsibilities to each person, communicate what is expected to happen and give consequences if the jobs are not accomplished. Everyone can do their part to declutter!

Storage Seats
Need more storage and more seating? Purchasing an ottoman with a storage area can be the solution for both issues.

Dont be overwhelmed
Need to clean your refrigerator, but don't have the time to do it? During the next TV commercial break, remove the items from the top shelf and wipe down the shelf with warm water. Throw away or recycle any foods not going back into the refrigerator. Put the items back on their shelf and get back to your show. Continue going shelf to shelf until you are finished. You'll be amazed how quickly you can work!

Use Wall Space
Too much paper clutter on your desk? Put like items into folders and file them away. No room for folders? Consider installing hanging folder pockets on the wall. Your workspace will be clear and your folders with be within reach.

Wipe your Paws!
Keep an old towel near your door. After your dog has been outside, wipe each paw to remove mud or road and sidewalk salt. You will have less dirt tracked in and your pet will not have sore paws from the salt.

Earring Roundup
Do you frequently misplace your earring backs?? When taking your earrings off, insert the posts through an old button and fasten. Your pair of earrings will always be together and still look cute in your jewelry box.

Laundry Room Tip
Store containers that might be messy such as powdered or liquid detergents or bleach on cookie sheets. Any spills or drips will be contained on the cookie sheet and not on the floors or walls.

Hide a Little Love
Hide a note in your kid's lunchbox or put a message on your spouse's dashboard to let them know how much they mean to you. It will put a smile on their face at an unexpected time. Happy Valentine's Day!
