How to Beat the Heat

Quote of the Month

“Well Begun is Half Done.”

-Mary Poppins (but originally from Aristotle)

This was the catch phrase that Mary Poppins used to get the Banks children to tidy up their rooms. This little gem of a saying can be used for ANYtime you are dreading a task that needs completing. Try saying this as your mantra the next time you know you need to do something but don’t feel like doing it. What small task can you BEGIN right now so that it will be half done in minutes?

Hot Times – Summer in the City

It’s been a scorcher of a summer here in Baltimore. Decluttering and organizing an attic or garage is definitely NOT ideal at this time of year. HOWEVER, what better time to declutter and organize INSIDE of the house?! Imagine the FUN you can have digging into your nice, cool basement, unearthing National Geographics from 1965 or deflated floats and/or beat up old (non) rolling suitcases?? Muster up your courage and give them the ‘heave.’ Below are some other ‘Cool Spots’ for you to tackle.
