Remember to Check Your Pockets!

I have to agree with Loved Stiched that it is really annoying to find paper, pens, stickers, etc. in your clean laundry when you are pulling it out of the wash machine. No matter how much I tell my family I will probably continue to find pens and such in their pockets. (I know I should probably be checking it myself...) :) Love this idea for a Laundry Reminder - it's great!

Hanging Pictures Straight - Tip

A great tip to hanging pictures straight on the wall. (I always struggle with this) found the idea of TipJunkie.
"Lay the picture you are hanging face down. Take some masking tape or
painters tape (anything that is not very tacky so it won’t peel the paint off the wall) and
lay it over the hooks where the nails will go. Then use a pen to mark where the hooks are.
Next peel the tape off the picture frame and tape it on the wall at the height you want your picture to hang. Use a level to make sure it is straight."
