The Thief In Your Closet and On Your Shelves
By Pghgirl40
Is your stuff stealing your time and money? You know those doodads on your shelves, your clothing, the flotsam and the jetsam piled up in the nooks and crannies of your house. For most of us, the answer is a resounding YES! Your stuff is making you poor and you probably don't even realize it.

This clipboard holds your lists and organizes your to-do items with the use of binder clips. Just insert your daily or weekly lists, then mark them "done" by snapping the clips over the line items. This saves paper and ink, and we find it rather fun!

Cucumbers are a staple in our household. They are very versatile to eat and this is a favorite recipe of mine! This spicy cucumber salad makes the perfect light appetizer, snack or goes well with any rice dish.
