Storing Magazines

Eric Scheske's house has a magazine problem. They're all over the place. He ran across a great idea in his local paper recently: use old cereal boxes to hold them. Cut off the top inch or so, then cut at an angle to about one-third of the way toward the bottom, cut across, then cut back up. You'll have a holder that's the perfect size for most periodicals.

Ask one of your kids if they want to decorate it.

(If you tell any of Eric's manly friends that he offered a housekeeping hint on his blog, we'll have to retaliate.)
