Lists: Not limited to the age old "to do" list!


Want to sell your house... 
Create a list that will help you market the home?
  1. What is your favorite room in the house and why? Might as well ask each family member the same question.
  2. What feature attracted you to your current house ?
  3. What improvements have been made during your residence?
  4. How does your house appear from the street?
  5. What is the best part of your backyard?
  6. What do you like about your kitchen?
Another helpful list to create would be minor improvements needed to spruce the place up!

Downtown Overland Park! http://www.downtownop.org/


Catch a movie at the Rio or take a cooking class at the Culinary Center or drink and eat or shop at great stores! This is one of my favorite places that also captures old style Kansas.

"DEEP ECONOMY" by Bill McKibben


Why not learn a better economic model?
Could this new perspective improve our economy?
Does more make us happier? 
Do we really need another made in china plastic doll?
I suggest reading or listening to this book!

Cleaning Frenzy... It does not have to be stressful!

Is your home for sale during this holiday season?
Even if your answer is NO, these cleaning hints will help keep the chaos in check!
  • A little soap, water and a sponge will do wonders at keeping the grime the away. 
  • Keep your home smelling nice with a pan of water on the stove (setting low) with a dash of lemon or orange peel plus a few cloves. Remember safety!
  • Declutter quickly by recycling all the catalogues, magazines and newspapers scattered throughout the house.
  • Begin the no shoes rule: Leave shoes at the door. This will keep the dirt at bay from the drizzle and snow.
Daily cleaning or decluttering for 10-15 minutes a day has shown to release stress!

Organizer's Dream... Plastic Pocket Dividers


One of my many jobs is Organizer. I began a job with the task of sorting boxes filled with receipts, statements, business papers and personal journals. This individual likes the feel of paper and files so I decided to create notebooks. The notebooks became unruly until I discovered at an office supply store, Avery Double Pocket Insertable Plastic Dividers. You label the tabs and then the pockets serve a great storage area.

Best Grocery Store: McGonigles in Kansas City

I want to present McGonigle's at 79th and Ward Parkway in Kansas City, Missouri. A mecca grocery store for their renown meat around the country added Shatto Milk Company to its shelves. They carry a great selection of eco friendly house cleaners including Mrs. Meyers. To top it off, this grocery store is locally owned and operated!
