Along with that first night box that LilyC mentions, be sure to include toilet paper, lightbulbs, a set-up for coffee/tea if you can't start your morning without it, an all-purpose surface cleaner ...
I've dealt with this problem soooo many times in the past few years! Recently, while looking at something I'd inherited and wondering (yet again) what to do with it, I could almost hear my grammy, ...
I just had a thought and now I'm curious: I'm wondering how many of us grew up with someone who was, let's say older than early teens during the Depression, and who was a major influence in our liv...
11 months after getting married and moving into my husband's house, I still have at least a dozen boxes in a rented storage unit. At least one of those boxes is magazines for God's sake! Issues of ...
Guess this would only work if you have people actually staying at your place and you live where it snows...
A few years ago my family decided to have Christmas at my place - a small ap...
Just curious - and maybe a topic for a separate posting, but where does everyone actually keep their medicines? Bathrooms get too hot and humid, so...?

For 10 years I lived in an apartment that had dusk on/dawn off automatic lights that lit my parking space all the way to my front door. (Since it was a small complex and most of us were friends, we...
Actually, wompwompwomp, that's not a bad idea if it's what works.
I've used a number of stratigies, including playing "What if.." The best one, and one that I'm still using is "What if...
I've also had a couple of people not show up, but I usualy arrange for a time for them to pick up by, or to call if they'll be late. I do allow for a bit of extra time in case of traffic or getting...
From the packrat's perspective (because I am one, although I'm not a hoarder) there are "reasons" why we've kept the stuff we have. Over the past few years, I've tried different things to help me l...
Guess I'm still a kid at heart because I love the snowflake mobile! I think something like that, frosted with glitter, would look pretty in the window with a Christmas tree behind them.
I'll have to try this for the sand/shells/beach glass Christmas ornaments I make - the light bulbs are larger than the small glass ornaments I've been using so I could get bigger shells and beach g...
I've been using Freecycle for months to get rid of stuff I no longer need, and to obtain a few of the things I do need. All of my experiences have been very positive - I highly recommend the site f...
I grew up with those books, too, but I was happier to see the travel plate - I've got some that were my grandma's and I love them. They're in storage until we find a bigger house, but I can't wait ...
It's been a challenge for us since we have opposing tastes. I'm very quirky and he's very traditional. I've tried to keep things toned down in the main living area. I'm in the process of setting up...
The photo of the back of it, in the first set of pics, looks exactly like a button cover. (At some point in the dim, murky past, we evidently weren't supposed to have people see that we had such mu...
Wait until you guys get a load of this: the night after I posted that last comment, when I finally gave up trying to convince myself I was going to fall asleep any minute, I got up and went to the ...
I like the concept. I may copy that photo into my style folder for future reference, although I agree with Kathryn that the photo appears more suited to a bar or restaurant. I just can't imagine al...
