I use Tide--Original Scent (although it isn't like the original at all)--and then I hang the clothes outside. The sheets especially make the bedrooms smell so good. The kids have gotten used to towels that are a bit stiff and actually prefer them now. I do live in California--but it is Northern California and it rained all winter. So I only got a sheet drying day in here and there and had to use a dryer for the kids clothes. But no dryer sheets. I haven't found one I even remotely like.

I am so glad you posted this with so many photos. I'm working on my spice cabinet and was going to use wood to make "stairs" and went surfing for ideas. Voila! I'm so excited I don't have to spend a lot on the boards, either. Thank you SO much! Ohmygosh! I am so glad you posted this with so many photos.

Go to your Local and pick up some old wine cases with the dividers in them. I get WHITE tissue paper, wrap it around the ornament, then cushion further with newspaper. this separates your orniments into six compartments. sticky tape the top closed with packing tape and CLEALRY LABEL (so they dont get broken). what i love about this is that is easy to recycle last years wine box when it get ratty. Also, because the box is a wine box, people tend to handle with care anyway! No glass ornaments have been broken here as yet with this method, although we do store them in the top of a spare cupboard and not in plastic boxes in the garage - the boys sometimes get too enthusatic in there and accidents DO happen! hope this method save one ornament!

It did cost a lot of money, but it was worth it. It automatically finds the date, store, and credit card that you used and lets you fill in the comments area any important items that you bought. When you need to find something, you just use the search engine and it finds it. You can also categorize for budgeting! I haven't gotten to the budgeting part of it yet because it is too new. But, it is way worth it! Before I owned the Neat Receipts: I would just use my all-in-one scanner/printer and scan only the important receipts and then tag each one with the items that were important/expensive on the receipt. It worked, but I always seemed to forget to put the date in there and it is hard to find on the picture itself. I always thought that system worked good until I found the easier Neat Receipts mentioned once. Go find an advertisement for it! Notes: ~$200 for Neat Receipts Scanner Walmart didn't accept my copied receipt until I talked to the manager. I use a scanner called Neat Receipts for all of my receipts.
