Make a meal plan for the next three days. Grocery shop for the ingredients you need.

Here are a bunch of tips and ideas from GON Readers to brighten your day...

How I Organize My Costume Jewelry
I recently attached a cork memo board to the inside of my wardrobe door. It's about 24 by 12 inches and fits just perfectly. Then I took some drawing pins (the ones with the long head on them) and pushed them through. I now use them to hang my costume jewelry, necklaces, bracelets and long earrings. It not only organizes them perfectly but also reminds me to add a nice accessory to my outfits.

A Way Our Family Cuts Expenses
Owning and operating two businesses, one from home and one away from home, we seldom eat at home in the evenings. Since we try to cut expenses wherever we can, we try to eat at places that offer 'kids eat free with an adult meal.'

I've made a list I keep in our cars of all the eating places in our area, within a 10 mile radius, that offer the kids an eat free meal. That way, when we are in the car running our evening errands or I'm just too tired to cook that evening, we can look at our list to see the restaurants that offer the kids eat free meal for that evening.

I'm also adding to the list continuously, such as when we hear from friends of a new restaurant that has a similar offer. I will be giving the list to friends soon, so they can enjoy the same offers if they haven't heard of them previously.

Some of the restaurants have menus allowing us to call ahead, so our food will be ready when we arrive. We also keep those menus in our vehicles.

Staying Organized with Scrapbooking
I sometimes feel like I will NEVER get all my scrapbooking up to date. However, until I get caught up, as events take place, I collect all the ticket stubs, programs, pictures (once I print them) and any other miscellaneous items. I write up a few paragraphs about it, maybe with quotes from others and put them all in a plastic page protector.

I also write up a few paragraphs describing the occasion and maybe with quotes from others. These plastic pages are all kept in chronological order in a notebook until I am ready to scrapbook.

The journal is great because it was written while the memories were still fresh in my mind.

P.S. Looking for a simple and effective way to get control of your paper chaos? You're going to love My Oh-So-Organized Filing System!

"Hi Maria, I appreciate you and your newsletters, so much! I delete so many other newsletters, because while they may have a good subject line, they always want to get you to watch a 20-30 minute video to get their 'Tip/Secret,' which you must then purchase, and yet you provide a wealth of good advice and motivation for free. I've been a faithful reader of your newsletters for years. Keep up the good work and sharing your talents with others!"
