Summer Essentials

In honor of National Flip Flop Day, three tips for organizing your summer essentials:

1. Keep all essentials together in a dedicated space in your mudroom, laundry room, or linen closet for easy access.

2. Inventory items from last year to determine what needs replacing or replenishment.  You will thank yourself later. Check out the Mayo Clinic website for when to replace sunscreen in particular (hint- you have three years).

3. Place items in separate bins and label each bin (sunscreen, goggles, etc.).  Towels can be stacked next to the bins or put in a large bin as well.
