Two years ago, a woman named Ann got a new start on life. A domestic abuse
victim since childhood, Ann never had a stable life. Then she found out about a
local safe house that could help her. Less than two years later, a shy and
introverted Ann has experienced significant healing through the safe house's
established counseling program. Not only that, but she has completed schooling
and obtained employment as a pre-school teacher. And Ann is not alone.
Thousands of women and children are getting help at violence centers across the
country, centers that depend on caring people and organizations to fund their
much needed work. Says Ann, "The (safe house) program really does work for the
women who want it to work and who really put effort into it.".

Today's bedroom décor generally features a lovely bed comforter that gives your
bed that warm, cozy look. But how do you clean them? If you've got a queen or
king bed, they're not going to fit in the washer. But even if they do fit, how
can you be sure that they won't get ruined? We asked our colleagues at our
sister company, 1-800-DryClean, for some advice on cleaning comforters that we
want to share with you.

So how does your closet look? If you can't see the floor or hang up even one
more shirt, now is the time for action. Do you really need all five pairs of
old worn-out running shoes and all those dresses in different sizes? (Remember
that if you actually lose the weight to fit in those smaller sizes, you will
want to buy new clothes anyway!). Donating to a worthy charity is the best
plan. You clear out your closet and others benefit from the items that you
seldom, if ever use.

By now you're already back in full swing with school and all its related
activities that crazy schedule your family keeps from September to June! Here
are some suggestions on how to coordinate your kids' schedule, activities and
school requirements with yours and stay sane:
Start a calendar
center. Whether you do it on paper, electronically, or some other
form, start a family calendar that monitors everyone's schedule in one place.
If you're doing it on paper, color code or pick a sticker to identify each
member of the family.
