Throughout this month, I have been giving you tips on what to do with all your paper clutter, but now we need to work on how not to let clutter build up in the first place. First you need to see where you find paper clutter accumulating. Next, determine what papers consists of this clutter.
For me, I found that the clutter was mostly my children’s school papers. What works best is I have a basket on top of the refrigerator to put papers that I don’t want to throw away. Every month I go through this basket and toss some but the rest I add to the lidded hanging file containers that I have for each child. Inside this container I have large hanging files, one for each year, and I place art and school projects inside. I wish I could keep every paper/project that my children ever touch, but I don’t want my good intentions to become their clutter down the road. Instead, I have a great representation of each year of their lives. Read the rest »

Although about 90% of American women suffer from some degree of cellulite, it’s not uncommon for many to think that, somehow, the condition is their own fault – that they must have brought it on themselves. Unfortunately, many boyfriends, husbands and significant others fuel this unwarranted guilt complex by suggesting that …
“You haven’t stayed in shape by exercising enough.”
“You’ve gotten fat, which is (obviously) the cause of cellulite. Cellulite is something overweight women get, right?”

As parents we want what’s best for our children: a warm, loving home, a good education, all the things that we didn’t have, all wrapped up with a bright future. This is all well and good, unless we become so focused on our desires that we forget what’s inherently best for the child.
What is Hyper-Parenting?
This phrase was coined to describe a dangerous trend being seen in the past several years. Parents in middle and upper-middle class homes are becoming so involved in every detail of their child’s academic, athletic and social lives that they’re not allowing their children to just be children.
