Planning a Party On the Cheap
 

* Make the dollar store is your friend when it comes to decorations! Tablecoverings, plates, streamers, theme decorations, etc. Go with a theme and use plenty to decorate freely around the house, tables, and even outdoors if you are gathering there.

* Plan your meal with ease in mind. Look for recipes that can be made ahead to lessen your time in the kitchen

* Look for recipes that have simple ingredients to keep costs down. Chicken on sale? Grab it. Burgers are fast and easy. Fresh Fruits and Veggies are always welcome.

* Use the grill and keep clean up a breeze and guests outdoors

* Plan just a few beverages to keeps costs down. Big jugs of Ice tea or Lemonade work well. Only offer one or two types of alcohol, if appropriate for the gathering.

* Let others help by bringing salads or desserts. That helps defray the costs

* Keep the flow of the party by making foods and beverages easy to reach and deal with. Scatter munchies around the room to break up congestion in one place.

* Mingle and have fun. Don’t stress and enjoy the time with friends and family.

Clever Under-The-Bed Storage Ideas

Clever Under-The-Bed Storage Ideas

Stor-n-Slide Under Bed Container

How many of you are looking to get your bedroom organized this year? Are you trying to organize and get more space? If so, I’ve got some clever under-the-bed storage ideas to share with you today.

First off, we have 2 very small guest bedrooms and I am always looking to reclaim wasted space. One of those “wasted spaces” happens to be underneath the beds. I wanted to utilize this wasted space and turn it into valuable storage space.

I had an entire dresser filled to the brim with pajamas and lingerie. I decided to go through them and to store my seasonal sleepwear underneath the one guest bed. I freshly laundered every item and then carefully folded them. I then placed them in the fabulous Stor-n-Slide Under Bed Container from Organize-It.

Stor-n-Slide Under Bed Container

I love that this container is see-through and made out of heavy duty plastic. It is slim designed and totally designed to slide underneath your bed. I can see exactly what is inside and I don’t have to bother labeling containers. Furthermore, it has two built-in locking handles which keeps the lid securely on the container. You can also use those handles for moving the container all around your home.

You can really fit a lot of items in that container (more than you think) and everything is kept odor-free, dust-free and bug-free underneath your bed. If storing things there isn’t your cup of tea…you can also use this container in other parts of your home like the attic, basement or garage.

Canvas Under Bed Storage Box

As a travel blogger, I do quite a bit of traveling. Every time we hit the road for a travel gig I like to take along our own pillows, throw blanket, neck pillow and several other items. I needed a way to store these items at home but I needed this storage to be portable. That way when we are traveling, I can just grab and go. I found the perfect solution for this with a Canvas Under Bed Storage Box for Organize-It.

This storage box is designed for underneath the bed but could be used all over your home. In addition, if you own an RV or do a lot of traveling, it is also the perfect storage box to take your supplies along with you. It is super light-weight since it is made from canvas, has 2 built-in handles and the entire top is see-through so you can see the contents inside.

Canvas Under Bed Storage Box

There is a built-in zipper that runs along three sides which makes getting your items in and out of it a breeze! I was able to cram all of our traveling linens and supplies into the storage box with ease. I keep everything it and stored underneath one of our guest beds until we are ready to hit the road again. We can place it in the trunk of our car, on the backseat or take it along with us in the camper. It is awesome & we love it!
