Even band aids lose their effectiveness over time. Throw away any that are more than two years old.

Product Review Jewel Sleeve
Lots of my clients are ask me about a new way to store their CDS and DVDS. Recently, found out about Jewel Sleeves. This system uses plastic sleeves (with a padded insert) to house and protect your discs. You then slip the discs into your own filing system or their system that perfectly fits the sleeves. The unit is attractive and stores hundreds of discs. You can even buy a set of castors for it to easily more it around.
My favorite part of the system is that each sleeve has a label on the top of it so you can clearly label its contents. In my mind, there isn’t much better than saving space and being organized! To get your own visit www.jewelsleeve.com.
They are sold in packs of 50. I did receive one sample sleeve to assist me in writing this blog review

The One Year Rule
If a medicine doesn’t have an expiration date, get rid of it after a year. Going forward, write the date down that you purchased the medicine.
2 Feb
Time has expired!
Take a few moments every six months to revisit the contents of your medicine cabinet. Throw away any medicine that has expired. While expired medication usually doesn’t have any harmful side effects, although some do, it also has decreased effectiveness. Throw it away and buy new!

Oil Cloth Lunch Bag Product Review
When I first saw RickRackQueen’s Kits on Etsy I thought they were adorable! Then my sensible side took over and I wondered how functional they would be. Well after receiving a kit and assembling it, the question is, how can I live with only one of these?
Oil cloth is a forgotten and underused fabric. Its cute, durable and repels water and food crumbs. The patterns that these bags come in are retro and adorable! You can chose from over 10 patterns! Every child and adult in the house can have their own!
The pattern is easy to follow and the oil cloth is easy to work with. If you don’t have time to put it together yourself, you can buy one already made.
These are the perfect size for taking your lunch and snacks to work and school. I suggest getting two for every member of the family so you have extra space for those after school snacks for sports!
Just looking at this bag will make you smile, and who doesn’t love to send their family with a little love and a smile every day?
Wait, did I mention there are matching sandwich bags too?

Monthly to-do list!
If you just don’t know where to start, pick an area of your home to tackle each month this year. For example, tackle the kitchen in February, the garage in April, etc. Make sure to start with the areas that will make the greatest positive impact on your family, and the areas that are currently bothering you the most. Also, let the weather in your area determine the month assignment. Organizing a garage in the northern states in January will result in shivering participants and little progress!
