Get
your Recipes Together As a
lot of you probably know by now -- I'm a recipe fanatic. I have written
about how to create your own computer cookbook which is about organizing recipes
that you find on the Internet or in your e-mail from recipe lists. Now I'd
like to write about how to organize recipe clippings (from magazines or
newspapers), recipe cards, and recipes in books. I know of a few methods
that may help you with your recipe organization.

taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) shortly after his birth.
Create
a Family Album A Family Album is a great keepsake for future
generations of your family to learn about their ancestors. It is also a great
item to create and give as a gift to another family member. Family Albums should
include photos and facts on each family member featured in the book.

Training Made Easier
Many parents want to know the best and easiest
way to potty train their toddler. Some hear about their neighbor's son who
was using the potty at 18 months, others are expecting a second (or maybe third)
child, and are worried about the added expense of buying an extra bag of
diapers, and even others feel that 24 months is the exact age to begin potty
training. There are many reasons why parents want to begin to potty train
their children, but the question is: is it the right reason?

older, owners need to begin focusing more on veterinary and health care
programs to fit the changing needs of their pets.
Organize
Your Desk For many people, their desks are where they live most of the day. And many of these environments are overwhelming disasters. I'm often hired to be a "desk doctor," and I can't tell you the number of times I've walked in and seen a desk that easily could have been mistaken for the home of a pack rat, yet the client assures me that he or she has cleaned up for my arrival.
Reflections:
On Goals The crackle of fallen leaves conjures up memories
of past things. Like Persephone,
and so many other children of reflective thinking, preparing to make that slow
march to the start of winter, thinking back on yet another start of the season
of paper, paste, pencils, and paints quickens my step and heart.
