Tips, News and updates from Heart of the Matter Professional Organizing
A Quick "Nuts & Bolts"
Power Tip

May 10th, 2010
Greetings!

Here is a great way to keep your deep freeze organized!

Get yourself a bunch of the sturdy re-usable plastic shopping bags with handles.  Use them to give everything in your freezer "a home".  Store like items together in one bag so it is no problem to find what you are looking for.  The handles make them easy to move around and rearrange as you add new items or use up your stock.  (Thanks to our friend Christine R. for passing along this idea)

If you have less food in your freezer because you have reached the empty nest stage you might feel like you are falling in as you reach for items way down at the bottom!  "Raise" the level by putting some plastic milk crates in the bottom and then place your plastic storage bags on top of that.


Do you have a friend who is feeling overwhelmed and would appreciate receiving these Quick Tips?  Feel free to forward this e-mail!
