2. Not having designated areas for the wide variety of papers we get
3. Thinking “I need to take this with me next time I run errands”
4. Needing to give mail or other papers to someone else i…

Inspiring Quote!
I thought you'd all enjoy this quote by Peter Walsh. It sure is motivating!

I believe it’s impossible to make your best choices, your most enlightened, spiritually rich, emotionally stable choices in a cluttered and disorganized home. It just can’t happen. Time and time again, I have seen that when you open the space you create the opportunity for amazing things to flow into that space."
"Organization is not something you do, it’s…

The best cleaning stuff i have found out there is KRUD KUTTER. Most stores have it. I go this tip from a carpet cleaner. You can use it full strength or delote with water. I have found out it will take off any thing that is duty. On floors it is great because you do not have to rinse after mopping in one place. It doesn't leave any sticky floors either.
We are renting and i took off the handles that look like they where turning green from age and being used to much. I soaked them in the KRUD KUT…

My house is so clean you can eat off the floor. The reason is because I quit smoking the other day and needed to keep busy. I have gone over it 3 times eventhough it didn't need it. At least I can say I AM a NON smoker! YEAH!!!!!

I cried knowing that my world was coming to an end. I sat in my apartment going stir crazy because I didn't have my stuff. But my good friend Rachel…

Has anyone used this product? Well I purchased it 5 days ago and it states that it can be used on everything. Metal, wood, electronics, marble, granite and glass....I was so excited when I saw only 3 left on the shelf I bought it. Now I want to put it back on the shelf in the store where I purchased. It is great on granite counters and marble. Everything else it feels like I'm using plain water.
