Organizing Solutions for Clutter Under the Sink

Open up the doors under any sink in your home and you will most likely find clutter. Bottles you have long forgotten, half emptied cleaning products that you no longer use, nail polish that dried up long ago, and medical supplies you brought home from the hospital after having your first child…10 years ago.

Cabinets under a sink get easily cluttered because the spaces are often dark and hard to reach, with items becoming lost or forgotten in the back. Organizing solutions can range from expensive custom pull out drawers to a few less expensive products to help keep the clutter in check.

Keep People in the Know with what you Know

 

Loss, crises, and emergencies can cause added chaos to one’s already hectic life. Far too many young families do not think about gathering vital information in case of an emergency, for themselves or their aging parents, until the day comes when it is critical.

Families in distress are confronted with digging through disorganized files trying to locate important documents and combing through old address books for contact information on life insurance, investments, property, medical, and more.

3 Tips for Finding your Windex in the Clutter

by Lorraine Brock

Years ago when my husband and I were first married, we had a glass-topped kitchenette table.

Downsizing your Senior Parents

Downsizing Your Senior Parents

Helping Your Elderly Parents Downsize

by Lorraine Brock

As families grow and change, children who have been taken care of will one day be faced with the daunting task of downsizing their parents’ lives. It may be that they have already experienced this phase by helping with the move of grandparents into their home or a senior community.
