That Works for Me {Giveaway}

Boy were the tips you guys left in the comments a fun read! Kristen highlighted a few favorites:

• Kitchen: Place a dryer sheet in the bottom of the kitchen trash can to help eliminate odors
• Organization: Use a different color hanger for every person in your house
• Kids: Never leave home without wet wipes
• Pest control: little piles of cornmeal get rid of ants
• Cleaning: Never leave a room empty handed. When moving around your house, always look for something that needs put away in the room you are going into.
• Cooking: save bits of leftover veggies and add them to a container in the freezer till the container is full, then make a pot of vegetable soup by adding some tomato juice or broth
• General: When in doubt, order pizza!
