I'm a sucker for good hidden storage ideas. I like everything in my home to have a place and be put away. (Not that that normally happens, but I'm very happy when it does.) So when I was catching up on my blog reading over the long weekend, a post on Apartment Therapy Chicago made me stop and take a second look.
Check out this bathtub with built-in storage:

The weather in Eastern Long Island was as gorgeous this summer as it was dreadful last year. Walking or running with the dog on the beach, I felt far away from the siren-filled, humidity-ridden, horn-honking city. I had a chance to relax and reflect. But enough about me. If my dog could talk, here's what I imagine he would have told me about his splendid summer. 1. I'm Easy to Please. As long as the windows are open and the wind is blowing, you can take me anywhere in the car, even to a shopping center. That patch of grass may look like standard fare to you but it's irresistible to me and I'll drop and give you 20 roll overs, no questions asked. Give me mere minutes at the beach before my visiting hours are over and I'll manage to unearth at least one crab leg. Lesson Learned: Simple...

Every Halloween, I struggle with costume ideas. Should I be a cat for the fifth year in the row (which involves throwing on an old dress and some Dollar Store tiger ears), or should I branch out and try something new? Usually, the cat wins out.

So why would I suggest someone think about holiday planning now, when many of us have just finished shopping for school supplies? It's a simple matter of the early bird saving a whole lot of money...and avoiding a credit card hangover in the New Year.
