 Appliance-sharing

Chances are, many of your household appliances — steam carpet cleaner, leaf blower, circular saw or sewing machine — lie dormant until that time once or twice a year you when pull them out for some special project. Consider starting an appliance sharing program with some of your neighbors, suggests www.earthshare.org. You'll save money, stretch scarce storage space and promote good will.

KEEP IT SIMPLE



TODAY'S SPECIAL

Put an end to the kiddies' "What's for dinner?!" whining with this tip from flylady.net:

  • Set aside time each week to plan a menu with meals that are family favorites or that use up the food in your freezer and pantry.

  • Write on a calendar what you're going to have for dinner each day — don't forget side dishes.

  • Make a grocery list and buy only what you need.

    FINAL WORD

    "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right."

    Henry Ford | automotive pioneer, in "The Change-Your-Life Quote Book" by Allen Klein
