Works for me Wednesday!

Ok, so for some reason I can get the laundry done, but am awful about putting everything that needs to be "hung up" ...BACK on hangers... (please tell me I'm not the only one!)

So... what works for me?  As soon as I (or Ava) wear something that has to come off a hanger, I toss the hanger in the laundry bin, so that when I do the laundry, dry it and fold it, I have the hangers right there and can put everything that needs to go back on a hanger ...back on a hanger... right away. 

Since I tend to fold laundry in the living room while Shaun & I are watching CSI Miami or something of the sort, this "works for me" especially with the baby clothes.  Then I head to the closets, hang everything up and voila!  Clothes are back in their places... for now.

Works for me Wednesday

So... I was forever losing the remote control, house phone, cell phone, etc. especially if we were haShaun was on one couch and I was on the other, we'd toss the remote back and forth and very soon it would be lost between couch cushions or under the couch, whatever.

My simple solution?  I found a nice basket (this one's black lines complimented our wrought iron legs on our coffee table)

and just decided to toss everything in. 

When the controller of the remote needs it everything's in one place in just gets moved "all together".
Really "works for me" because I usually have a hungry or sleeping baby in my lap and can't get up to look all over for everything.  Now it's all right next to me and takes up less space than everything being spread out all over the place.
