They say a picture is worth 1000 words...how true. This week one of my teams posted a FOOD PHOTO BLOG challenge. WOW!!! What an eye opener! I saw what I was eating and also what others were eating. Very inspiring. Then I got to thinking...pictures could be very useful. Here is my idea:
MORE INFORMATION:
Photograph your meals and post them on your fridge with magnets. You can use them to meal plan for the day or week; plan for groceries needed; decide whether a new recipe was a hit or a miss; to change up items for different seasons and to add fresh items at the grocer as they become available.
One way 2 change the appearance/energy of your home are photographs! 4 the price of an affordable frame you can take a photograph or one online & mount it 4 a new look 4 pennies! Size is irrelevant; you can take a number of 4x6 hanging them as a collection for a WOW factor. You can change them by seasons or whatever moves you. A 4x6 @ Rite-Aid is 19 cents. I always look for free frames on Freecycle.com or the local thrift or yard sale. Think out of the box or out of the frame so 2 speak!
I read an article yesterday about someone who rented a car, turned it in in good condition, yet got a letter from the car rental agency months later, claiming they caused thousands of dollars in damage to the vehicle. Unfortunately, they had no way of proving that they didn't cause that damage. When renting a car, it is a good idea when you take it back to the lot, to take dated and time-stamped photographs of the vehicle and save them, along with copies of the return receipt, for six months.
