SPRING-TIME ORGANIZING!!!!! It can be a chore, and it can be invigorating. Make time to clear out your closets and mud rooms from the winter necessities. Clean and store all of those winter items such as hats, gloves, scarves, boots, coats, long underwear and sweaters in durable containers. Add some whole cloves (yes, from the kitchen shelves) to ward off moths and bugs. Be sure they are stored in areas that are not prone to high heat and/or high humidity. Make room for all of your spring/summer items that you stored last November. Give all of those items a second look. Will you really wear them this season? Consider donating or consigning your gently used or unused clothing and accessories. It’s a great way to raise some needed cash or a tax deduction for the following year’s filing. Consider your jewelry box as well. If you have jewelry that you longer wear, you may enjoy seeing it worn by a daughter, niece or cousin. Or, trade it in for cash while the price of gold is so high. Spring-time organizing can be a chore, and it can be invigorating.
