Clutter Control for the Clutter Intolerant - I confess that I have a very low tolerance for disorder and chaos. The more clutter there is on my desk and in my house, the more precariously I teeter on the brink of temporary insanity.

How to Plan a Wedding (And Maintain Your Sanity) - A friend of mine recently got engaged, so I went to buy a card to congratulate her. One of the first cards I picked up said, "White or ivory? Indoors or out? Band or DJ?" The inside read, "Congrats on your engagement. Try not to stress."

Making the Most of Your Time - Would you like to have more time in your day? Who wouldn't? Especially as life fills up with more and more responsibilities--job, spouse, children, etc.--it seems that the days get shorter and shorter, and we find ourselves wishing for more hours to get it all done and do it well. You may have asked yourself, "How do they do it all?"

Funeral Planning - No sooner had my mother stopped breathing, than my family had to start making a myriad of decisions. My father knew which funeral service to call, so within 45 minutes of her death, the director came to Mother's foster-care home. My parents already had funeral sites at a local cemetery as part of family inheritance.

Meals for Singles - As a young child and even as a teenager, I loved to hang out at my grandparent's house. Whether poking around their dusty, dark basement, knocking walnuts out of the ancient tree with a wooden broom handle, or perched on the front porch steps, contentedly sucking juice from a pomegranate, life was slow paced and always an adventure.

Unplugging the Christmas Machine - Christmas of 1996 was the holiday-from-you-know-where for my husband and me. Despite the very best of intentions, I practically ruined everything by trying to make it something to remember for everyone in our family.

Daily Chore Charts - Our family's cleaning and chore schedules have varied widely over the years. In two short years we have gone from having one teenager in the home to having two teenagers and two toddlers. In the past I have tended to do much of the housework myself, with help off and on from my teenage daughter.

Planning a Shower with Pizzazz! - Why is a wedding shower called a shower? Because the bride gets showered with gifts and well wishes! And you have the honor of putting the shindig together. In this day and age, just about any format is acceptable, but many brides simply want something traditional with a creative twist.

Doing vs. Trying - One of the surest ways to become a victim is to try. When we commit to trying to do something and fall short of a success, we can always claim, "I tried." But be careful of the words you use. Trying doesn't pay the bills. Doing does.

Meal Planning For Busy Families - Do you often find yourself wanting to pull into the nearest drive-through or wanting to phone for take-out in the evenings? Do you stop off at the supermarket on your way home from work and gaze into the frozen food cases seeking inspiration? You are not alone.

The Art of Re-gifting - Some people are horrified by the concept of regifting, but regifting done right can save you stress and money while satisfying the recipient, too. Here are some tips to help you re-gift with descretion and taste.

Fire Safety Tips - Fire doesn't erupt without a cause. Here are some tips to help you minimize the possibility of it happening in your home, or that can help you be ready if it does.

Add by Subtracting - In his book, "Starting Today," Rubel Shelly says one way to de-stress your life is get rid of clutter (within your home and heart). Here are some of his suggestions.

Greeting Card Organizer - While making my weekly rounds of yard sales with my mom and daughter, I ran across the neatest little album that was sold by Hallmark many years ago--it is an organizer for greeting cards!

Garage Sale Etiquette - I believe that, contrary to popular belief, a yard sale is not an anything-goes, no-etiquette-needed free-for-all. As in any social situation, there are certain things you do or don't do in order to be polite.
