TIP OF THE DAY

When cleaning out your child´s bedroom, take 3 plastic bags with you. In one toss anything that´s trash, in another anything you no longer want and in the third one anything that belongs in another room of the house. When you´re done simply toss one out, donate the second and empty the third one placing any objects in their correct rooms.
