Organize, Pour And Keep Foods Fresh

Do you have half full bags of chips, nuts and candies spilling over in your cabinets? I just discovered a great gadget from Copco called the Bag Cap. You attach this cap to an open bag of your favorite foods, frozen veggies or rice then snap close keeping your foods fresh. The Bag Cap can also be used as a spout. If you dont have a container to hold foods I think this is a great way to store foods, keep organized and fresh.

Organizing Kids Dishes...One Shelf At A Time

Have your kitchen cabinets been taken over by kids plastic plates, bowls and cups? If you are short on cabinet space, move out some of your own extra dishes from the cabinets to make room for the kids dishes. It will make your everyday tasks of washing, drying and putting away dishes so much easier. As you add new types of kids dishes, purge the bottles and sippy cups they no longer need.

Organizing For The New School Year

Did your kids bring loads of school supplies home on the last day of school? Be sure to purge the items they no longer need but save the other usable items like art supplies and paper. Reuse those backpacks, lunch and supply boxes for the next school year. And be sure to make way for the next years school information by organizing and updating the family folder.

Organized Folding

Confused by the amount of space your new linens take up on the shelves? They didn't look like that in the store! Manufacturers package items for store shelves so perfectly that its almost impossible to recreate once the package has been opened. Next time you unwrap a new set of sheets or an odd shaped item, take a photo of the item as you unfold the package so you can see how to refold.
