Pip’s Tips
Here are some suggestions that you can use to help you with everyday living and staying sane in your home!
Kitchen
Those reusable grocery bags are awesome! I admit it took a couple of months for me to actually remember to take them into the store with me. They hold a lot more than regular bags; they don’t fall over in the car, are easier to carry into the house, and are better for the environment.
Keep your errand list on a colored sheet of paper, divided into sections, like groceries, errands, pharmacy I use the same size paper as my day planner, and clip it to the front cover. Keep it available so that other family members can add items to the list. Get your kids in the habit of writing things on the list instead of expecting you to remember!
Use a wine bottle gift box or bag to store plastic grocery/shopping bags.
For those recipes you tear out of a magazine, keep a 3 ring notebook with your cookbooks to put them in. Use page protectors, and dividers.
Office
Power cords and cables drive Molly crazy. There are several things you can do to keep them under control. Label all of them with my label maker, so there is no question as what goes with what. Make the label a little longer so you can fold the sticky sides together around the co rd. Use small craft baggies to store them. 
When traveling with a lot of rechargeable devices, keep a power strip in a zippered bag, to keep from leaving things behind in a hotel room. Check out Eagle Creek for a great selection of soft-sided bags.
If you print from a laptop that you carry around, send documents to the print queue, so that you can print things all at once.
Use a cardboard toilet roll to keep small extension cords neat.
Bedroom
Keep a shopping bag in your closet, when you come across clothes, shoes, or accessories you no longer want, through them in. When it’s full, take it to your favorite charity.
To keep your bedroom restful, consider removing the television.
If you like to change purses often, keep small things like pens, makeup, etc, in small cosmetic bags, for a speedy exchange. Plus if your pen breaks, the ink won’t ruin the inside of your purse. I got a cute blue set at Target in the stationary section.
If you need a space saving jewelry organizer, consider the hanging type. It’s easy to see what you have.
Bathroom
To control hair on the bathroom counters and floor, use your hai rdryer to blow it all into a corner for easier pickup and removal.
Use plastic bins under the sink to keep bottles of grooming products upright.
Keep bathroom cleaning supplies in each bathroom to save time.
Wipe your counter top down everyday; it will encourage you to put things away after use.
Laundry
If your laundry room space allows, hang a shower rod above the washer and dryer for air drying or hanging clothes as you take them out of the dryer.
Here’s a neat wrinkle removing trick for those of us who let clothes sit in the dryer for awhile. Place a shirt on the bed or table, smooth it out flat, then smooth another shirt on top of that one. The weight of each shirt smoothes out the wrinkles. This works for towels too. I call it my self-ironing trick.
Cleaning
When mopping, wear a pair of socks, you can use your feet to scrub up the tough spots. This is a great use of the mismatched socks that seem to accumulate… I prefer the white ones, so I can see the results as I go.
Another way to use mismatched socks, is for rags, Be sure to cut them, so you can remember they are rags and won’t get them confused later.
Vehicle
Keep a small cosmetics bag in your car with tweezers, scissors, emery boa rds, lotion , etc. You can do a little grooming, while waiting in carpool lines, the drive-through, or stand-still traffic.
If your car interior is dark and shows dust easily, keep a Swiffer in a small umbrella cover, for dusting.
Wet wipes are a must in the car, they can serve double duty when you wipe down your console and cup holder.
Use a small square pen cup in your center console to hold pens, pencils, scissors. I got a divided one at Target that has room for a small notepad. 
Designate an area in your kitchen or office to handle your mail. Do a quick sort, getting rid of the junk, then sort the rest into 3 categories; act, read, and file. A hanging file, or 3 stackable trays works great for this. Here is a simple one from Target.
