Mark outgrown clothes with a safety pin
Betsy's got a smart plan for weeding out outgrown clothes: We get a ton of hand me downs, some without tags. I looked in my youngest kid's drawer the other day and he had WAY more shirts than I do. So I went on a weeding out campaign. Step 1: stop putting his shirts back in his drawer. Fold and hide them in the guest room. Step 2: when he puts something on that I notice doesn’t fit or is really just too embarrassing to wear, I try to get him to change and pack up the offending article right then. Step 3: when he refuses to change and it isn’t a battle I’m choosing to fight that day – I mean it's just a little

Thanksgiving tip: Cook and freeze the side dishes and desserts ahead of time
Tiffany's practical Thanksgiving tip: I'm saving time this year by choosing make-ahead side dishes and desserts. Starting 6 days out, I'll be making one side dish or dessert and popping it in the freezer. By Thanksgiving Day, I'll have very little to work on besides the bird! I'm doing the same. Between freezing and delegating, I'm feeling pretty good. What are your favorite make-ahead holiday dishes? Related:

Thanksgiving tip: Organize the Thanksgiving potluck with Google Docs
Mandy's also using Google to get a handle on Thanksgiving planning: I'm not lucky enough to have gotten a Google Wave invite yet, but I did use a Google service to organize our holiday. I created a potluck signup sheet through Google Docs with the menu items detailed and emailed it to everyone. They're able to check off what they're bringing and see others' responses as well. No duplicates, no missing traditional dishes! A bonus...it helps me return any dishes and bowls left behind! Related:
