Summer is a great time to tackle some of those projects you can't focus on during the rest of the year.

Kids: Ideas for Kids with ADD

If your child has ADD or other issues with organization, here are some tips that may help with their room:

1. Have less - fewer options means less confusion.

2. See it - having things outside of closets and drawers makes it easier to see. A clothing rack or closet without doors can be useful storage solutions.

3. Label it - using labels can help your child find things and put things away.

Be sure to ask your child what works for them. They are the key to a system that works.

Home & Office: Donate Your Wedding Dress

Have you been storing a wedding dress that you know will never be worn again?

Through a post on Jeri's Organizing and Decluttering News, I heard about a great opportunity if you're looking to donate your gown.

Brides Against Breast Cancer takes "contemporary gown styles, slips and veils dating from 2005 until the present day." Money from the gowns they sell goes to the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation.

It is difficult to let go of something as meaningful as a wedding gown. But if you're ready, donating it to a cause like Brides Against Breast Cancer is a great idea.
