Randi's Closet Makeover - The Happy Ending - Part Three
The first thing we did to re-do the closet was to install Rubbermaid Configurations / Homefree closet system. This is the same system I have in my house and I really love it for its versatility to be able to maximize vertical space in the closet as well as its ease of installation (no cutting...

Green Organization Tip
I have been pretty good about converting to reusable shopping bags. I love my canvas ones that I take to the grocery store. In addition to being friendlier to the environment and reducing waste, they hold more groceries, don't fall over, and allow me to take everything into the house in one tri...

Moving - Framing Up the Situation

Oh yes, I agree - it can be a pain. First of all, we tend to dump it on the first flat surface we find, thus junking up our counters & tables! Then, there is the balancing act of when do process it. Daily might be too much, but too long in between times could cause late bills.
We recommend keeping junk mail shredder or recycled can right near the place you receive the mail. Thus, you can simply toss that off first hand and it makes it easier to sort. I have seen some people use a bin that has one section labeled for things that need attention on the days of the month 1-15, and the other for later. That way, it is easier to keep up.

Labeling Electronic Jump Drives, CDs, etc
One of my worst habits is not labeling CDs or DVDs or jump drives at work and at home. At the time, I think I won't ever forget what the contents are and I'll get around to labeling before I do. Inevitably, in the end, I accumulate a little pile of unknown disks and jump drives. Is that the ...

Tanya,
The beauty of the Homefree ssytem is that it can expand and contract to fit most any sized closet. You just buy the kit that fits your dimensions and it can be customized for you.
At Lowe's, the 3-6" is $93, the 4-8" is $114 and the 6-10 is $176.
Good luck & happy organizing!

My First Slow Cooker Meal
I have always been a fan of a good pot roast, but have never had the courage to make one myself. While it's simple enough, I was always fearful that I could mess up a good thing. Well, I threw caution to the wind and finally decided the cool, almost fall weather was ideal for a pot roast. I co...
There was an insert in last Sunday's paper for $5 off. Hopefully, a friend still has the paper you could use to clip it?
Being Organized to be a Grocery Deal Hunter

I am so glad to hear that Cheryl! Packing lunches (and leftovers) can save so much money!
Save Money by Packing Your Lunch!
You can really save a lot of money and eat a lot healthier by bringing our lunch to work. In fact, a few of us in the office formed a "Skinny & Rich Club" on Tuesdays last year in order to align on a date where we would all bring our lunches and eat together, at least one day a week. it was qu...
Wow; these are amazing ideas Allison. Thanks for the great organizing advice for electronic files.

A divided premier is a 9 cup container that has little dividers in it so you can separate foods in the compartments. For instance, you could have meat in one side, mashed potatoes in another and a veggie in the third.
We have divided Lock-its at Target, divided Easy Find Lids at Kmart, Meijer and Fred Meyer. Divided Premier is also at Meijer.
