Things are a little busy around here for the next few days. We are getting ready for company this weekend (my sister and her boys are arriving tonight). It is time to celebrate Ann Elise's birthday!
However, for the five of you that keep up with the five dubs...I did not want to leave you hanging without a post over the next few days. A week or two ago we discussed "tips" among our Mommy and Me class. These tips ranged from organization to cooking to potty training. I am always up for hearing ways others make their lives run smoothly - and taking advantage of ways to make my own run smoothly! I am most happy when everything has matching containers, things are color coded, labeled - get the picture? One of the tips mentioned really sounded great to me and I thought I'd pass it along!
At the beginning of a new season this mom reorganizes/cleans out her closet to make her clothes more accessible/more room. In this process she turns all her hangers backwards. (She hangs the open part of the hanger toward herself...the closed part of the hanger toward the back of the closet) As the season progresses and she wears her clothes the hangers get turned around from use, leaving the hangers of the clothes she has not worn turned backward. When the next season rolls around she is clearly able to determine what stays and what goes!
I loved this idea. I think it is a great way to keep myself honest on what I will wear next year! As Spring is on the horizon (not that it feels that way) and switching my closet around is approaching, I might just start try out this new system!

My Dad uses a label maker and near the plug on cords he'll label what's what. So if he needs to unplug the DVD player he's not searching for the cord to unplug.
He uses different colored label tape as well especially around the computer since that area ends up with more cords than most.
Just an idea.
Y'all have fun this weekend!! Happy Birthday Ann Elise!!!
Ooooh, very cool tip!
Hope the busy weekend went well and that all had fun. Happy birthday to your sweet girl!
:-)
