Head Back to School Stress-Free
Turn Your Entryway Into a Command Center
‘I Lost Everything in the Market Crash!’ When Can You Sue Your Financial Advisor for Malpractice? When you hire a financial advisor, you are trusting that they will use their knowledge and experience to point you in the right direction. In investments, no outcome is guaranteed, but you should be confident that your advisor always provides you with sound, reasonable advice. Unfortunately, the volatile market created by the COVID-19 pandemic has proven that this is not always the case. Many investors lost a great deal in the market downturn because their financial advisors defied industry standards and caused large losses. It’s not enough for advisors to be familiar with the products and investments they recommend. They must also be familiar enough with their clients so they can make reasonable recommendations that match their needs. Every person’s situation and financial goals are unique, so advisors should not be making Peach and Arugula Pasta Salad Nothing says summer like a pasta salad filled with your favorite fresh fruits and vegetables, and this combination is the perfect way to cap off a warm summer day!
“Has anyone seenmy backpack?”
“Dad, did you signmy permission slip?”
“Mom, I can’t findmy shoes!”
This is the household anthem heard on school mornings across the United States — a chaotic rush of tracking down shoes, throwing together lunches, and racing to the bus stop. What if there were a stress-free way to make sure everyone in your family had everything they needed to walk out the door each morning? Believe it or not, it’s possible! And it all starts with turning your home’s entryway into an organized command center. Get hooked on coat racks. Building an entryway command center starts with coat racks. You should have enough hooks for every member of your family to hang their jackets, backpacks, and purses. It’s also good to have some extra hooks just in case. Get your family in the habit of hanging their belongings in the entryway rather than trailing them through the house. Create a clever shoe solution. Keeping your shoes by the door ensures that on busy mornings, the left shoe isn’t in the bedroomwhile the right shoe somehow ended up in the playroom. However, shoes can quickly pile up into a mess of their own. If there’s space in your entryway, cubbies or labeled storage bins are a great solution to make sure each kid has a designated spot for their shoes. If you don’t have storage space by the door, a wall-mounted coat rack is a great workaround. Install the rack close to the floor and have your kids hang their shoes on the hooks when they come in. To your battle
stations, everyone! Make sure each member of your family has a designated spot to put their belongings
