De-tarnish ALL your silver ALL at once... line your sink with aluminum foil, add 1/2 c table salt, 1/2 c. baking soda, fill with hot water, then dump in all your silver! Let sit for about 30 min. The tarnish all transfers to the foil! Thanks, Susan Branch!

Bees Knees This is what I started doing, when we moved to our new house. It works really well, keeping things organized & easy to find. I also have a binder near the kitchen phone with list of frequently called numbers, & clear sleeves for postage stamps, take out menus/delivery, brochures, etc I need to keep. I also have some clear pages with little slots that fit business cards for the Vet, Dr, hair salon, plumber, electrician, etc etc So I have their info when I need it.
