Post-it, so you don’t forget

• “To keep track of important dates and appointments, I write each one on a Post-it note and stick it on the side of the fridge. As each date or event is completed, I take down the note and toss it. They’re very easy to rearrange, as well.” — R.R. in Florida

•”I purchase cleaning supplies in bulk and use smaller containers to tote around the house. I found a refillable spray bottle that I really like, and I bought several. I spray-painted them different colors and wrote the name of the cleaner on each with a bold marker. Even though the bottles look alike, I do not mistake what is in each one.” — I.L. in Oklahoma

• “If you make a pie crust, save the scraps and let the kids (or grandkids, in my case) decorate them with sugars or candies to bake separately. They love these ‘I made it myself’ cookies.” — B.T. in California
