____ 1. Being organized for the holidays ahead. Yesterday, I noticed the petunias, in containers on my deck, are just about spent for the season. The weather in Wisconsin is starting to cool off, the maple trees in my yard are fire red, and it's very dark so early in the evening. This is a reminder to me that the holidays are right around the corner. I'm headed out, with my family, tomorrow to get some pumpkins for our porch. We'll also pull out the outdoor Halloween decorations and get those set up. We store our holiday decorations in clear, plastic, storage totes with lids. On all sides of the totes, the name of the holiday is indicated (in large letters), and these boxes are stacked in a closet specifically for storing decorations. So, when it comes time to pull out the Halloween decorations tomorrow, they'll be easily found in two of these boxes...rather than here, there, and everywhere. Not having to search, for decor we want to use, makes decorating more fun, and much easier! Are you decorated for Halloween and/or fall yet?

____ 2. Adding an extra special touch. Once I'm finished organizing and/or cleaning a room, I like to add an extra special touch now and then to enhance that feeling of accomplishment. So, after cleaning up the kitchen, I may add some fresh flowers to a vase and display them on the kitchen table. Or, after cleaning the living room, I may place a special seasonal throw on the sofa. This idea is kind of like the cherry on a sundae...that wonderful finishing touch.

____ 3. Storing flat (or nearly flat) kitchen items upright. When I want to grab a cookie sheet, a muffin tin, or a cutting board, I don't like storing these flat (or nearly flat) items on top of each other, because that makes them difficult to easily access. Instead, I like storing them upright. This kitchen cabinet pantry and bakeware organizer rack holder is wonderful for this purpose. It holds pot lids, cutting boards, cookie sheets, pans, muffin tins, cake pans, pizza pans, and more. For details, visit:
