I’ve been blogging in this space — first Organizing Your Way and then Life Your Way — for over three years now, and there are some great posts in the archives that don’t get much attention anymore. This week, I’ll be sharing some of my favorites. Whether you’ve been around since the beginning or are a new reader, I think you’ll enjoy them!
I received an email from Karina yesterday with this question:
Have you done anything about how to organize library books and due dates to avoid late fees? I thought I had a system… was late on 2 videos last week (I knew that) and then discovered that I was ALSO late on about 12 books! I thought it was 2 videos and I was busy, plus kids were sick, so I just figured I’d shell out the fees. However, fees on 12 books and 2 videos 5 days late… well, let’s just say it’s not very frugal! Any suggestions?
Since I’m up to my eyeballs with the upcoming move to Life Your Way, I hadn’t started a post for today yet, and I thought this would make a great topic.
The only problem is that I rarely borrow books from the library because I’m so bad about returning them on time. Sad, but true.
That said, I’ve been brainstorming ways to get better at it myself because we have the cutest little small-town library with a great selection of kids books, and I’d like to take advantage of it more often. I have lots of fond memories of spending Saturday afternoons at the library with my dad, and I’d like to pass that on to my girls as well.
