TINY HINTS

– Use shredded paper from your shredder to cushion gifts instead of tissue.  Makes great packing for moving and mailing as well.

– Take a rainy or snow day off and sort old photographs by family member/friend groups.  Label the back with acid free pen so you and your family can always identify who’s who.  Not a great photo of Uncle George?  Why keep it?  Trust me, he won’t mind if it gets tossed.

– B.O.O.M. Box (Broken, Odd or Missing) box to be stored in garage with objects waiting to be glued, found or fixed.

– J.U.I.C.E. Box (Just Unused Inputs Cords and Electricals) box will contain all those cables and cords so they don’t die tangled in some drawer or forgotten in outlets.  It helps to label these cords so you will always know to which device they belong.
