May Home Maintenance

May is the time to be preparing for summer.  Summer is a great time to get the exterior of your home ready for entertaining company.  Grilling and pool-time comes to mind.  Depending on what kind of setup you have, you will have more or less to do in terms of preparing the grill and pool.  Of course, whether or not you have a pool will determine what preparations and maintenance needs to be done for the potential pool party! 

Organizing Receipts

There are many different ways that I’ve seen people keep track of receipts. I’ve seen people put them in piles, files, shoved in wallets or purses, placed in envelopes, or left in bags. Everyone gets receipts. They are the proof of purchase or service. Without them, we’ve no way of tracking spending, returning items, proving the timeframe that we purchased (for warranties), or getting our money back if we need to return something for some reason. Some businesses offer lifetime warranties or money back guarantees. If you don’t have a receipt that’ll last a lifetime, how’ll you ever get your warranty or your money back?
