New Kitchen in the Future? 

Kitchen All CaldSoon your new dream kitchen will be installed, but before the demo begins everything must get packed and placed out of the way.  Don't just start loading boxes, pack by category and review the items that have just been taking up space.

 

How many ladles do you need?  What about all the gadgets that looked so useful on television?  If you spend just a few extra minutes making decisions before packing and when the contractor leaves it will be much easier to unpack and organize your gourmet galley.

Senior Moves and Elder Organizing
 - The First Step
You are concerned about the well being of your parents, grandparents, maybe even a friend, brother or sister who are getting older.  How do you convince them to consider a senior community?  Don't wait until they can no longer care for themselves.  And don's try to trick them to make the move.  
  
Get them involved in the process.  Do your homework and visit several communities in your area and ask them to visit and have lunch to check it out for "someday".  If they are hesitant to make the move, ask if their doctor is willing to be involved.
  
This make take time for some.  Eventually with the support of family and friends and if they feel they were a part of the decision they are likely to give it a try.  Help is available to make the process painless by Senior Moving Specialists.  Once they get settled they will be more active than ever and love their new home. 
  
Organizing Product Tip for Senior Living:  Adhesive Hooks from 3M are perfect for Senior Living Communities.  They can be moved or removed without damaging walls.  They are great for holding canes and reach arms.

Ever Lost Your Car? 

parkingIt happens to everyone at one time or another.  You parked in a garage at the Grove, Westfield Century City, or the Arclight then walk aimlessly searching for the car when your ready to leave.

 

Next time, before walking away from the car use your phone to take a picture the area.  This will be easy to refer as your loaded arms are searching for the place to put all those packages.

 

 

What's In Your Bag?
travelTips for the Traveler
  
If you travel frequently and leave toiletries and cosmetics in luggage for the next trip, this spring would be a good time to go through all your bags and check of out of date items.  Discard everything that is cluttering up your bags and replace with fresh products.   
Lions and Taxes to Bare...Oh My
filesDo you think it is easier to go to the Land of Oz than to get ready for April 15th?  In reviewing your paper receipts create files to categorize by the deductions you claim.  Only keep receipts that are deductions.  If only certain items are deducted on a receipt, circle or highlight those to make finding easier.
  
If you are creating a system for the first time information from 2010, make a duplicate set of files for 2011 and start using NOW for next year.  It will make this time next year much easier.
