Don’t Forget!

I love the idea of always keeping a picture of the medications you take on your iPhone in case of an emergency!  Not having this info could ruin a trip fast!medication image

Make sure that you get all of the prescription numbers clearly documented!

You should also take a picture of your parking space when you leave your car at the airport, or any other large parking lot for that matter…  There’s nothing more frustrating than not being able to find your space when you’re ready to get home!  How long have you walked around looking for your parking space?  We’ve all done it, right?

Remember the Seinfeld episode where they couldn’t find their car?  Jerry suggested that they should name parking garage levels things like, “Your mother’s a whore”…I’m not so sure that’s a bad idea!

What pictures do you always keep on your phone?

You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg at an office supply or storage store in order to mark off the “Get Organized” line on your resolution list!  Look around your home, or local thrift store, and get creative!

bowl by the front door for your keys

 

Keep a decorative bowl by the door and establish the habit of dropping your keys there as soon as you walk in.  You’ll never lose your keys in your house again!  I also love to use them in a shelf in my closet as a pretty way to store my jewelry…

Glass containers also make a pretty jewelry display…

zip lock bag storage for cords

What in the world would we do without ziploc bags?  I use them for everything!  They’re a must for keeping small toys or game pieces together.

Take a look inside this medicine cabinet!  I love the way they used the magnetic containers for rubber bands and hair pins…

These vintage suitcases are prefect for storing old memorabilia and makes an interesting vignette.
