GET IT TOGETHER! DIY Organization Tips to Bring Order to Your Living Spaces
two sturdy objects — dressers, a wall and nightstand, etc. — you can place two tension rods between them and create a “shelf” to place your shoes on. Add multiple rows of tension rods for extra storage. CLOTHES PINS FOR CABINET DOOR STORAGE Kitchen cleaning supplies, especially lightweight items, don’t always have to be placed on the floor inside the under-sink cabinet. Putting double-sided tape onto clothes pins and sticking them inside the cabinet doors creates an excellent place to hang rags/sponges, kitchen gloves, and sink stoppers. NAPKIN HOLDERS FOR POT LIDS Using zip ties and upright wire napkin holders, you can create a lid organizer for your pots and pans. Rather than flipping the lid upside down on top of the pot, you can create a designated space for all the
lids to reside. You can even organize your lids from smallest to largest!
POOL NOODLES AS HANGER SPACERS BETWEEN CLOTHES Pool noodles work as spacers to keep your clothes hanging neatly. Just take a pool noodle and make one cut length- wise to open the noodle, and then cut it horizontally into 1-inch pieces. Place the pieces on the bar in your closet and hang your clothes according to how many hangers you want between each spacer!

It’s that time of year again. Many of our clients have children and grandchildren graduating from high school soon. While this is a wonderful and exciting time as these young adults look toward their future, what many parents and grandparents don’t consider is that these children are now legally considered adults. That means parents no longer have the right to, for example, access their child’s health care information due to HIPAA laws. But what if your child gets into an accident or has an emergency while he or she is at college or on the job? If they are not able to give consent, parents often cannot even get information or talk to doctors without going through lengthy and expensive Guardianship and/or Conservatorship proceedings through the local probate court. Because of this, we highly recommend that anyone over the age of 18 has a Health Care Power of Attorney and a Financial Power of Attorney. We can help young adults get these important documents in place before they head off to the next chapter of their lives. If you have someone in your family who has recently turned 18 and may still want you to be able to make decisions if it becomes necessary, give us a call to schedule an appointment today!
