Do you have a closet full of clothes but don’t know what you should keep and what you should get rid of?

At the beginning of each clothing season, turn all of your hangers backwards. When you replace the clothes after wearing them once turn them forwards. What you have not worn at the end of a season or at the end of the year you should donate or sell at a consignment sale and help un-clutter your life. If you can live without it for an entire year you don’t need it, and it will free up room to buy something new and fun!

Do you have kids that loose one glove or mitten all winter long?

I buy some thick elastic and cut it so that is about 3 inches shorter than the length of the sleeves of their winter coat. I sew a couple of stitches to connect the elastic to the gloves. Pull the gloves or mittens through the jacket making sure the right glove is on the right side, and you will have a pair of mittens all winter long. My kids have not lost a mitten since I started this 2 years ago.
