    Time to cut the apron strings?
    Susan Stone

    Not so fast!  I love wearing them in my kitchen. They're cute, comfortable, and make me feel like Betty Crocker even if I'm microwaving a frozen dinner.  But I ADORE wearing them in my car.  I keep one stashed in the back seat and when the urge to down a latte or gulp a hamburger comes over me - my apron keeps my outfit stain free. Oh- and sometimes gets some big smiles from those I pass.

    Now if could only find a way to keep the calories from sticking too!

    Organizing with Your Kids: A Successful Set-Up
    Amanda Darlack

    We all know that children excel in making messes, but as I discussed in my last blog post, children are also capable of cleaning up after themselves.  First, they need to be taught how.  Second, they need a set-up that will make it easy for them to put things away.
