Quick Tip: Repurposing An Unused Photo Album

Since digital cameras have become more popular, I have a suspicion that I am not the only one who has extra unused photo albums tucked away in my closet. Those photo albums with the large pages (at least 8.5 by 11 inches) are great for storing children's artwork and award certificates. Give each child their own book and let them do the arranging! The nice thing is that not only is the artwork protected and easy to store, but it serves as a keepsake for your children.

Quick Tip: How to Make Those Taxes Less Taxing!

As if the winter blahs aren't enough, tax season is here! Organizing tax paperwork can be a daunting task. Here is what I do to help keep on top of it. At the beginning of each new year, I label a folder for the current year's tax information (for example: Tax Information 2010). I keep this folder on my desktop so that it is easily accessible. When I come across information or receipts that I know I will need for next year's returns, I place them in the folder. Paperclip like items together or if necessary, create subfolders. When tax season comes, your paperwork is already organized!
