Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer started something called “Works for Me Wednesday” about a month ago. Everybody posts some (household) tip that works for them and then links back to Shannon’s post for that Wednesday. OOOh, OOOh, I wanna play! The trouble is that I don’t KNOW any good tips that work for me. I’m homemaking challenged.
Oh, OK, this one sort of works. We keep all our library books in a laundry basket in my bedroom when we’re not reading them. I just paid a $34.00 fine at the library this morning, so this idea for keeping the library books rounded up must not be working all that well. Or maybe it’s just that I fail to renew the books on time every time, even though the library sends me an email reminder that the books are almost due a couple of days beforehand and even though all I have to do to recheck them is go online to the library website and put a check mark beside the titles of the books I want to renew.
Anyway, it kind of works for me!

Sounds like a neat idea!

This is exactly what we do! I wish I could use a pretty basket but the laundry basket works best for large numbers of borrowed books.
Great idea – we have something very similar!
I love this idea. I’m lucky that our current library doesn’t charge fines, but when I was a geeky teenager that checked out stacks of books, I could have purchased the books for what I paid in fines. Thanks for the good tip.
I just resurrected this at our house after paying $15.00 last week. Mine is an ugly white dishpan, but hey, whatever it takes. Sounds like you are not homemaking challenged to me!
