Not every home has a linen closet. If your home has one, there are a couple of places where they may be located. Either in the bathroom, or they may be found in the hall outside the bathroom. Typically, they are not just used to store linens. Most likely, they are used to store towels, bed linens, personal care items and more. The location may determine what type of items you store in your linen closet. If it’s in the bathroom, consider the humidity that accumulates due to lack of air circulation, even with an exhaust fan, so you don’t [...]

Put it on The List of Needed Supplies

By SOS Simple Organized Solutions|2021-06-29T14:40:48-05:00June 30th, 2021|Categories: Home Organization|Tags: inventory, remember, storage, supplies, visual cues|

Whenever I discover that I need something, I put it on the list. I wrote an article some years ago titled ‘How do you remember everything?’, it talks about lists in terms of to-do lists. This article is related to remembering, but in terms of needed supplies, not things to do. With everything going on in our busy lives, it’s nearly impossible to remember everything we need to do, much less everything we need to buy to keep us going on a daily basis. When you discover that you need something, a list in a central location where you can [...]

In any scenario, you need options for medications and medical supplies disposal. There are ongoing discussions about the environmentally safe way to dispose of items to keep them out of landfills.

By SOS Simple Organized Solutions|2020-11-17T13:41:10-06:00September 16th, 2020|Categories: Emergency Preparedness|Tags: emergency, pandemic, plan, protect, supplies|

In the past I wrote a couple of articles about emergency preparedness - Being Prepared Is Not Just For Boy Scouts Anymore & September is National Preparedness Month. Both of these articles, which are basically the same, were written to encourage the development of a documented plan to stay safe in the event of a natural disaster. These types of naturally occurring events are specific to the region of the country in which you live. As these articles suggest, a plan and supplies are the main requirements for emergency preparedness. Everyone in your home needs to understand the plan and [...]

In the fast paced world in which we live today, there is not enough time to do everything we need to do, especially during the holidays. Sending greeting cards via snail mail is a task that takes some time to complete and is becoming obsolete in this electronic age, not to mention the rising cost of postage stamps. However, if you’re like many of the older generation, and still like to send holiday greeting cards by way of the postal service, having an organized system makes this task more efficient and more enjoyable. Creating a greeting cards station can provide [...]
