50 Ideas to Organize Your Home

July 29th, 2008 by babyphatsnowboots8255

“Organize” is a familiar word heard on many of today’s popular decorating shows. Every family has its struggles with some type of clutter whether it is stacks of papers or a cluttered and cramped bathroom. In fact, the National Association of Professional Organizers reports that 80% of what we keep we never use, we wear 20% of the clothes we own while the other 80% hangs there just in case, and 25% of adults say they pay bills late because they lost them.

If you have stacks of papers, frazzled mornings, or lost car keys, use the following ideas to help you organize Unisexbabyclothes9395 family and home.

Evenings/Mornings:

1. If you have rushed mornings, make lunches, set out clothes, and put everything you need Mcarthurglenshoppingcentrelivingston4713 the next day in a designated area the night before. Have kids pack homework and books in their backpack so they will be ready for the next day.

2. Place your purse, briefcase and keys in a designated area every day so you always know where they are.

3. Decide the night before what is on the menu for breakfast the next morning. If the family is to have cereal, set out the cereal boxes, bowls, and spoons.

4. Make a “to do” list for the next day and organize it according to what task needs to be completed first.

5. Fill the gas tank the day before so you won’t have to worry about getting gas if you are running late the next morning.

Bathrooms:

6. To organize countertop clutter, purchase a plastic tub with a handle on top. Place all of your accessories such as hair spray and lotion, in the tub and place under the counter. Take the tub out when you are ready to use it and then put it back under the counter when you are finished with it.

7. To organize your shower, buy shower caddies to place your soaps and shampoos in. There are numerous styles available in many discount and fine department stores.

8. To help keep your shower doors clean, buy a water squeegee (like you use on your windows) and place it in the shower. When you are done taking a shower just wipe down the doors with the squeegee and you’ll have a clean and dry shower door. Many of the squeegees come with a whole in the handle, which is convenient for hanging it up in the shower with a suction cup.

9. Install a straight magnet in your medicine cabinet for tweezers, nail clippers, and scissors.

10. Store reading material in a decorative magazine rack. As you add new magazines, throw away the older ones to keep the magazine rack from overflowing.

11. Throw away items in your bathroom that are old or you Babyboyclothing8283 use anymore, such as make-up, lotions, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, old razors, sunscreen, and perfume.

12. If you are out of space in your bathroom cabinets for towels, roll them up and display them in a decorative Cavernwalks7646 next to the shower or bath tub.

18. Sort through your clothes and anything you don’t wear anymore, bag and donate to a local charity. This includes clothes that are no longer in fashion, no longer fit, or clothes you haven’t worn in a year. Also, get rid of those worn out and/or uncomfortable shoes you no longer wear.

19. Separate your clothes by season. If you have a tall closet with several rows of rods, place current seasons clothes on the lowest level and move out of season clothes on the tallest rods.

20. Categorize your clothes by purpose, such as work, casual, and formal.

21. Gather all unused wire hangers and take them to the dry cleaners to recycle.

22. Hang scarves on a Rockabillyclothes7853 or scarf rack. Also, hang belts and ties on hangers or racks.

25. Store clothes that you want to save in a vacuum sealed plastic bag. These bags pack down for storing under the bed or in a closet. Remember to save only the clothes that you think will be worn!

Kitchen:

26. Organize your cabinets into several categories such as plates, glasses, Tupperware, kid’s plates and sippy cups. Place the plates on one shelf, the glasses on another shelf, and so on. This way when you empty the dishwasher, you or other family members will always know where everything goes.

31. Save your countertop space for items you use daily. Only display cookbooks that you really use and if possible store your canister set in your pantry instead of on the counter.

32. If you have a collection of clipped recipes that are filling drawers and countertop space, purchase a three-ring binder in a color that matches your decor, a box of plastic sheet protectors (to protect your recipes), paper, and a set of dividers with tabs. Glue each recipe onto a piece of paper (use front and back of each piece of paper) and then place into a sheet protector. Categorize recipes (breakfast, desert, etc.), label the tabs, and place recipes in binder. Additional tip, if you purchase a binder that has pockets, store clipped recipes that you want to try in the pockets before adding them to your collection.

33. Do you have mounds of plastic bags from the grocery store? Place about 10 bags inside of 1 bag and throw the rest away. You can always get more the next time you go to the grocery store.

34. Get in a habit of cleaning out your refrigerator every time you bring home groceries. Dispose of any food that is no longer edible or your family is not going to eat.

Kid’s Room:

42. Put wastebaskets in every room and place several unused trash bags in the bottom of each one. This will eliminate countless trips to retrieve new trash bags and give all family members a place to throw away their trash.

43. Place a decorative basket on the coffee table to keep remote controls in.

44. Use a plastic caddy (instead of shelf space) to store cleaning supplies in and tote it from room to room.

45. Keep baskets or tubs for toys in every room for fast pickup and play time.

49. Make a master grocery list on your computer from a spreadsheet or Word document. Categorize the groceries into sections such as frozen, dairy, and so on. In each category, list the most frequent items that you buy. Organize the grocery list according to the way your favorite grocery store’s isles are set up. Print copies and keep one copy handy for the current week. When you see you are low on a product or you’re preparing your grocery list for the week, simply highlight whatever items you need.

Why Front Load Washers Need HE Detergent

July 24th, 2008 by babyphatsnowboots8255

Since Eckosneakers8671 introduction of the front-loading washing machine into the North American market their sales have literally exploded. Like most people, you probably bought one because of the suggested savings.

The claims about their efficiency are true. When operated properly you can save energy, water, and money. Plus Discountinfantclothing4074 do Highfashiondesignernames2702 fabulous job of washing your clothes.

But, using the wrong detergent can quickly destroy any hopes of savings. Along with the Babydiorusa6061 loaders amazing popularity has come a tremendous amount of misunderstanding about the detergent they require.

A front-loading washing machine needs a special detergent. It’s called HE (High Efficiency) detergent. Without HE detergent your washer will not clean properly. Using regular detergent may even cause your front loader mechanical problems.

HE detergent is a type of non-sudsing detergent. In fact, while operating, the machine almost appears not to have any detergent inside.

Unfortunately, we have become so used to seeing suds in our old washing machines that we mistakenly relate the presence of suds to proper operation. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

An old fashioned top loader washes your clothes by constantly tumbling them through a full tub of water. Your front loader works differently.

In a front loader your clothes are picked up by the vanes inside the drum, lifted to the top of the drum, and then dropped into water laying at the bottom of the drum. This collision of clothes and water will dislodge the dirt from the clothing fibres. Later the drum stops turning, the water flows out the bottom of the drum via the pump, taking both water and dirt out to the household drain. Finally the drum is spun at very high speed to remove the final amounts of water, dirt and detergent from the clothes. This front-loading Teenagerclothescatalog2276 of cleaning your clothes is both simple and dependable.

But, this simple method stops working if there are too many suds being produced by your laundry detergent.

If you use regular detergent in your front loader excess suds will be produced by the interaction of the detergent and tumbling water. These unwanted suds will accumulate at the bottom of the wash drum where they will lie on top of the water. Within minutes these suds will take the form of a big Outletshoppingashford4141 cushion. This cushion hinders clothes from reaching the water. As your clothes fall from the top of the drum to the bottom they hit the suds cushion rather than the water. The result is a very poor wash.

Even owners of front loaders who are using the correct detergent can misunderstand how to use it properly. Not seeing any suds they think they require more detergent. They keep increasing the amount used per load until suds finally Wholesalesunglasses1211 This can be a costly mistake that again results in a poor wash.

Using too much detergent is as bad as using the wrong detergent. Extreme amount of detergent can produce symptoms such as leaking, vibration, noisy operation, and poor spinning.

If you have been using the wrong detergent (or the proper type incorrectly) in your front load washer try the following suggestions. Run the machine through a number of cycles using hot water. This should help expel the old detergent. It usually takes 3 or 4 cycles to wash away the old detergent accumulated inside the machine. Or add a product that will remove the build-up of old detergent. One such product is called GLISTEN. It is available through most appliance parts wholesalers. Some grocery store chains now include it in their laundry detergent section.

As a matter of fact it is a good idea to use a cleaner such as GLISTEN in your front loader every few months. It is an inexpensive form of regular maintenance. A small amount should also be added to the detergent dispenser drawer to remove any residue from this area.

So if you think your front loader is not working as well as anticipated, look to your lanudry detergent. If it does not say HE on the label — switch immediately.

Then purchase a box of the proper HE type detergent and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Fabulously Ethnic, Fabindia Banjara Hills

July 19th, 2008 by babyphatsnowboots8255

What you see - One thing that you see at Fabindia, Hyderabad is the fact that it is popular both among foreigners visiting India and Indians looking west. That’s probably because of the great ethnic wear in trendy designs that you see at the store. In fact, ethnic wear was never so “cool” until Fabindia made us realize this fact. No wonder we see hordes of people here trying to choose the right piece of clothing that would help them flaunt their ethnic inclination with style.

Now this spacious store at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad (right place for a store like this!!!) sports a serene ambiance what with even the lilting music adding to the great shopping experience in Hyderabad. The goods are neatly placed with labels on the panels naming the product and the size. So locating a product is quite easy here. And if it isn’t then the knowledgeable sales staff here does help you out.

What you get - Now this store in hyderabad is popular not just for its amazing collection of kurtis, kurtas, dupattas and stoles but also home décor products, body care products, jooties and organic eatables. By the way, one of the best things about the clothes over here is that they come in extra small, small, medium, large and extra large sizes. So no alterations required for what you buy from here.

Talking about the product range (which is quite huge!), Fabindia, Hyderabad has something for everyone starting from the just-born to the grannies. Long, medium and small kurtas in cotton, Kalamkari and silk; skirts, dresses and lehenga cholis for kids up to eight years old; formal shirts and jackets; stoles, dupattas, sarees in cotton, Mangalgiri, Kalamkari, Orissa silk and Jaipur silk (Rs.. 2,500 - 3,500)… the collection is simply awesome.

Would-be mothers can also find something for them here. For men they have the kurtas and the well-designed shirts. Apart from the clothes, they also have reams and reams of towels, curtains and pretty bed covers in pastel shades. These are available at affordable prices.

Our verdict - While we would like to be magnanimous with compliments for this Hyderabad store, we also came across one irksome fact. We were told that the price tag on the apparel may differ from the one fed into the system sometimes. In that case, the price that shows up on the computer screen will be the final. Now that’s a little absurd. Nonetheless, it’s a great place to shop for all your ethnic needs. And if at all you would want to exchange, you can do that within a week of purchase time. But make sure you keep the bill as well as the tag on the clothing intact.

Designer Maternity Clothes - The New Age Fashion Statement

July 18th, 2008 by babyphatsnowboots8255

While in decades past women were supposed to hide while they were in their “delicate state”, those days are far behind us. Many designers have come to the forefront introducing fashionable maternity lines for mothers to be. While it may take a little work, finding the right clothing to show your personal style and your baby bump won’t be hard to do.

Pregnancy has now become a celebration of life and a reason to rejoice, and the baby bump has all but become the latest fashion. Just flipping on the television or a magazine shows celebrities in all of their pregnant glory showing off their latest production: baby. These stars manage to keep their own personal style and wear the latest fashions while they’re eight and nine months pregnant! The frumpy soon-to-be mommy is a thing of the past and the trendy momma is out and about!

Designers have recognized the demand for stylish maternity lines and they’ve fit the bill with stylish cuts, flattering fits, and the latest styles of the season. Looking this good during pregnancy can come with a hefty price tag though; the key is moderation. Outfitting your new maternity wardrobe with the latest trend isn’t always a good idea, but accessorizing with it is. Keep the heftier pieces in neutral colors such as black, brown or beige, and accessorize with a pop of color or texture in a bag or shoe to cut down expenses while still keeping trendy.

While shopping for maternity fashion can be a headache, knowing the right places to look is a good start. Many designers offer their maternity lines exclusively online, so start clicking. There have also been a number of maternity boutiques that have popped up in recent years catering only to the expectant mommy. These retailers often have great sale racks too, so dive in and start looking for a bargain.

There are also a number of retailers offering great and fashionable maternity lines for a fraction of the cost of the top name designers. Check out your favorite pre-pregnancy store and you might be surprised to find an extensive maternity line to accentuate the baby bump. The most important thing to do during this time is to stay patient and never be ashamed of the growing belly; pregnancy is a celebration of life and while shopping for trendy maternity wear may seem like a daunting task at first, there’s never been a better time to look great with a bun in the oven!

How To Shop Clothes At Home And Save Money

July 17th, 2008 by babyphatsnowboots8255

Being a freelancer, I have the luxury of spontaneous shopping. I get up from my desk (or plastic table in the garden as it is today), and head into town on some phoney pretext which is generally total procrastination.

Today, I decided my summer clothing was sadly lacking, so headed off to remedy the situation. I tried the charity shops first, believing it’s far better to both recycle and give money to charity. However, finding nothing, I headed to the more mainstream clothes shops.

Unfortunately, I am prone to forgetting I am no longer a size 10, and as such, clothes shopping has become a much more sobering and depressing experience. This is especially true for revealing summer garments, and I’ve yet to understand why or when the larger lady would ever wish to wear hipsters.

So, I go in search of the perfect article of clothing; the one which will transform my flab into some vision of fitness. Whilst logically I know such article does not exist, I have not given up my quest. It has long been posited that major high street stores use slimming mirrors, but I’m becoming convinced some of the larger charity shops have also adopted this tactic. I’ve brought endless supposed flattering pieces only to discover I look like an obese whale in my own less flattering mirror.

Yet, I don’t agree with this body fascism. Idealistically, I believe we shouldn’t be so prejudicial to people because of their size. I want to feel proud and confident about how I look no matter what weight I am. But this doesn’t stop me from buying tops which are three sizes too big because I don’t want them to cling to my belly.

Today, the sensible voice in my head took over. I stood in the changing room and looked at myself in shorts and a swimming costume. I looked at my fat - or curves if I were feeling generous - and realised I had a simple choice. I could either make the decision now not to go in the water with my four year old all summer (I live five minutes from the beach), or else I needed to wake up and start accepting the way I look. After all, there are many women who are sexy and big. It’s about confidence, and all I needed to do was to start projecting this confidence.

Twenty five pounds later (cash, not fat), I’m back at home at my plastic table. I’m wearing the shorts, but my legs are hidden, and only time will tell whether I’m willing to wear them out. The swimming costume I’ve thrown on the side in the bedroom. I’m hoping I can hold on to the golden nugget of positivity. I have visions of striding confidently across the sand, comfortable with my womanly figure.

I also have visions of my next clothes-shopping-experience: First I will find the best price online then order online and then I will take all the time in the world to stand in front of my mirror at home without the constant stress in the shop’s changing rooms. I keep what I like and send back what’s unflattering - after having a good night’s sleep over the decision. Easy.
