Tip on Tuesday:Wash the produce as soon as you get home from the store. It makes cooking, packing lunches, grabbing a quick snack, so much easier when everything is ready to go. Scrub the carrots, wash and tear up the lettuce/kale/spinach, wash the apples, etc. I will even wash half a bunch of grapes, saving the other half for later in the week. It helps them stay fresh longer if they aren't washed. Don't wash berries until ready to use, that helps them stay fresh longer too.

Tip on Tuesday: Wipe down the bathroom sink every night. It takes 10 seconds and makes the room look cleaner and the next morning less irritating (especially if you are married to a toothpaste slobber-er). I keep a sponge under the sink and while I am brushing my teeth, I wet the sponge, wipe down the counter and the bowl so everything looks nice for the next day.

Fail: I didn't buy mirrors for the bathroom!

Although they are beautiful, they are way too big for the space. So I had to cancel the order. Sad me.

Tip on Tuesday: Sort all your mail, magazines, flyers, random paper as soon as you walk in the door. Throw all the stuff you don't need, including junk mail and the envelopes, inserts, etc for real mail into the recycle bin, put credit card offers in the shredder (or make a pile on top until you have time to shred) and save just the important pieces to deal with. AND if the 'deal with' part will take 2 minutes or less, try to complete that task right then. Write the check, fill out the wedding RSVP card, send the baby shower RSVP email, put all dates on your calendar right then and there. You won't have to think about it or touch that piece of paper again. Maybe it can even go in the recycle bin! But don't recycle it if you need the address to the baby shower. Just sayin'.
