Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: Recently, I cleaned out my closets and found more than 20 baby magazines from when I was pregnant. I just couldn’t make myself throw them away, because they all had really good information I felt I might need in the future.

So, I decided to tear out the pages that had information I thought I might use, and I put them in a binder. Now it’s easy to just look in the binder for great ideas!

With my daughter’s birthday coming up, I have many ideas for her birthday decorations, cake ideas, rainy-day activities and things to better our everyday lives. When I get new magazines, I still tear out the pages that I’d like to keep and add them to my collection. — Amanda, Mesquite, Texas
