Tuesday’s Tidy Tip: Magazines!!!!

It’s Tuesday! My favorite posting day. I love thinking about what I’m going to tidy next - I know, it’s an illness.

Magazines: lying everwhere - the bathroom, the coffee table, floor, bookshelves. The kids ‘read’ them, tear them, bend them, and break them. And then there’s the bathroom magazines. Imagine the little buggers that fall off the hands of potty-users onto the pages - ewwwwww! I keep ours distributed like this:

1. potty reads: disposable mag’s in a little basket (reader’s digest, brainiac types, and Stooples)
2. couch reads: only the newest issue of Discipleship Journal, National Geographic, and the library books on the coffee table.
3. bed reads: inspirational books and catalogues in my bedside table drawer.

The Culling process! (Ya know, like the ‘Wraith’! teehee)

1. Tossing: old reader’s digest, catalog’s, and brainiac types (I can’t find the title right now, we have this mind-bending, brain-teasing mag sometimes.)
2. Should-be-tossing: those I just can’t get rid of yet, go into a box in storage (like my college texts)
3. Keeping: Scrapbooking mag’s go in a neat stack in my craft room. DJ’s are organized in magazine holders with my ‘writing inspirations’ by the computer.
4. Returning: old library books go into a bag by the door for the next trip to the library.
