Make cleaning a cinch for your kids! Start by creating a clean-up map for a child's room together. Design the map to show where everything is to be stored including items such as shoes, books, toys and dirty laundry. Use a theme such as pirates or fairies, and incorporate stickers and colors so the map is a family project. Frame the map and hang it near the storage area. Now your kids can’t use the excuse that they don’t know where to put things and their friends can help too!

Be more specific with storage and use multiple containers instead of a “one-size-fits-all” toy box. If toys are kept on shelves or in see through plastic or labeled storage containers, they can be located easily without a child having to dump everything out and will allow for more organized play. Pack doll clothes, action figures and accessories in plastic zipper bags to helps keep all the small pieces together. Make sure to store the toys on a shelf that the children can reach which encourages independent play and easier clean-up.

Looking for a new way to cool off in your new home this summer? The best way to provide a convenient and fun family cool down is to add a pool and as many Lakes of Savannah residents have found, swimming can be great exercise and bring families together. But, the chlorine commonly used in older pools can have negative side effects, not the least of which is reliance on toxic chemicals.

In response to these concerns and the trend toward environmentally conscious living, a new breed of chlorine free backyard pools has emerged, with overwhelming demand. “People love to hear that there are options to get wet without smelling like cleaning products!” states Morgan, a natural pool designer.
