Hunt Update
2016
Another year begins – it’s not possible
to know what 2016 has in store, but if
you have resolutions in mind, make
small changes, determine reachable
goals and seek assistance where
needed. You probably won’t lose 30
pounds in January, but you could
walk three times a week, cook more
healthy meals at home, reduce your
sugar intake and ask the folks at the
fitness center for some exercise ideas.
Maintenance
2016
Once the holiday clutter is cleared away, are you determined to do a bit of
organizing? Here are a few suggestions:
Embrace the lowly clothespin – in addition to clipping chip bags, use to
secure charger cords (use a marker to write what the cord is for on the
clothespin). Wind embroidery floss around a clothespin – you can add the
color code on the clothespin or simply corral your kid’s friendship bracelet
production mess.
Use narrow baskets to store snack items in cupboards. Kids can see what’s
available and you won’t waste space with a giant granola bar box holding a
single snack.
Store hair ties on a carabiner clip labeled with the owner’s name.
Install a tension rod under the sink and hang spray bottles from their
handles.
