Sharing Your Gratitude for Posterity
This Thanksgiving, start a new tradition: the gratitude tablecloth.
Set your table with a plain white tablecloth. Give everyone a Sharpie or other permanent marker. Have all guests write something they are thankful for this year. Do not forget to include the little ones—they will have the cutest comments. Of course, you will need to write it out for them, but, depending on their age, they can write their name or draw a picture. Or you can trace their handprint. Make sure that everyone signs their name and the year.

Are you Stockpiling Old Magazines?
Some of us love our magazines so much that we save them. Not that there is anything wrong with that—if you have the space to store them and you look at them again.
A Tisket, a Tasket, Store it in a Basket
Baskets are inexpensive and handy containers for organizing all kinds of stuff: clothes, toys, linens, cleaning supplies, home office supplies, bathroom supplies… you name it.
