Time |Organize with a website
Home life revolves around scheduling and lists: dinner parties, groceries, kids’ soccer schedules, when to plant those radishes, when to clean those gutters, and so on. Confusion and forgetfulness loom, threatening to upset the delicate balance of the home. Cozi Central, a free online service, helps you deal. In the grocery store without your list? You can get it on your phone. Forget whether the playdate was at your house or your friend’s house? Cozi knows. The service, at cozi.com, helps keep the trains on track.
Money |Deals to drive for
You’ll burn gas to get there, but the deals could more than make up for the fuel money. Looking for an antique hutch for that old-fashioned dining room? Desperate for an old, black Swinger sewing machine? Nebraska this weekend is hosting its annual Nebraska Junk Jaunt, a 220-mile scenic loop through the center of the state that is lined with people selling stuff. Think of it as a rolling garage sale. Visit junkjaunt.com for more details.
Space |Designer dish rack
OK, this does not fall into the money category. This dishrack will set you back $70 or more. But if you use a dish rack, and your counter space is limited, consider the two-tier rack by simplehuman
(simplehuman.com) and also available at Williams-Sonoma stores and the company website, williams-sonoma.com. It’s three racks in one.
