Whatever you decide to organize in your home, it can be easy to maintain with little to no effort.  Let’s be realistic, you can’t expect your young child to place their little Lego sets in plastic baggies which go in a bin and then in the closet (trust me I tried).  So here are some easy ways to organize items in your home so that clean up is quick and easy; while having some fun in the process.

Every item needs a home.

Contrary to popular belief, the biggest challenge to maintaining a tidy home isn’t always overcoming laziness.

Keeping the kids entertained and busy doesn’t have to empty your wallet. As a matter of fact, there are a variety of fun and educational opportunities in Union and Essex counties that are absolutely free! From storytimes to crafts to indoor play areas, there are no-cost activities for kids of all ages, almost every day of the week. Here’s a frugal mom’s guide to local and multi-location freebies:

AAA encourages parents and caregivers to keep children seated, safe and secure when riding in motor vehicles. As part of its Seated, Safe & Secure initiative, AAA advises parents of infants and young toddlers to secure their children in rear-facing child safety seats for as long as possible, maxing out the upper weight or height limits of the seat. Researchers indicate that toddlers are 75 percent less likely to die or be seriously injured in a crash when they ride in a rear-facing seat up to their second birthday.

The fact is that almost every woman at some point in their life experiences a decreased sex drive. Female libido isn’t a simple matter of becoming aroused and maintaining that feeling to reach orgasm.  It involves tricky things like hormones, emotions, and psychology.  Women require a proper balance of all these things just to become aroused in the first place, never mind achieving orgasm.

Female libido relies heavily on emotional factors – with love, self confidence, and an emotional connection with their partner being big ones.  Psychologically, if a woman’s head isn’t in the moment, then her body can’t often fill in the gaps.  Physiologic arousal requires a surge of blood flow to the vaginal areas to not only heighten desire, but also make it easier to achieve a powerful orgasm and satisfying sexual experience.  When all of these things work at once, it can result in one of those Harry Met Sally moments!!
