I'm a Guest Blogger on Ellie Merritt's blog from First at 4 on NBC4

Ellie and I are tight.
LOL No, not really - but she did post a 2nd guest blog from me, so I am thrilled.
She has her own News show on NBC channel 4 here in Columbus. It is called First at 4 with Ellie Merritt. She does the normal news stories for the day, but what is really nice is that she has a little more focus on woman and mom's. On Mondays she rotates having on Marcy from Stretching a Buck and Tara from Deal Seeking Mom (local mom bloggers) to give tips on saving money, coupons and free deals. She realizes the value and how much the bloggers can teach, so she features us often.
Check out her blog called, Elaborating with Ellie and you can check out my post, but you can also look at the other information she has and learn a little more about her. (She is really nice)

My TV Debut (LOL) on NBC 4 with Ellie Merrit

Ok...you can tell I just taped the TV with my cute little flip camera....(my technical challenges show.) LOL

Five Guidelines for Sorting Your things.

Here are the 5 guidelines that I use to sort with!! Take each item and make a fast decision. Don't worry if Aunt Susie gave it to you and you don't want to hurt her feelings. Do YOU like it and does it add value to the space? If not, then it is alright to donate it, or give it to another family member who might really like it. Take that item and in 5 fast seconds say to yourself, "Do I love this, use it and want it?" Simple as that. (I know it isn't really that easy...but the more you do, the easier it gets.) I know there are the complicated items, I know there are the sentimental items.
But here are the basics:

Love It:
1) Love It
2) Use It
3) Want it or Can't live without it

Donate:
1) Won't Use
2) Don't Like
3) Doesn't Fit

Move It:
1) Wrong Room

Store It:
1) Seasonal
2) Can't give it up
3) Can't Use Now

Trash:
1) Broken
2) Torn
3) Can't Donate
