& HACKS

KEEPING IT TIDY FOR THE NEW YEAR EDITION

Just Hangin’

Get double the storage when you double-up your hangers using a soda tab… what a space-saver!

Making Space for Space

Simply install an extension rod under your sink and voila! Your formerly messy under-sink is tidy, AND there’s more space.

WORDS matter

Come gather in love. Arms that shelter from the seas. Songs that fill your sail and lead you to waters calm. Come gather. Come love. Come sing. Then return to the sea with full hearts and sails.

Words are magic. They actually change our brain chemistry! As wordsmiths here at LKNW, we are especially fond of words that will resonate with our readers, in hopes they will help guide & inspire you.

Cut these out & use for inspiration wherever you need it!

Please know we notice,

I hope you know that’s true, day in and day out, even the little things you do. We see your sleepless nights, the long days in which you engage, but you never seem to mind, you just turn the next page. Please know we notice your patience, grace, and style, We notice you spend your own money, going the extra mile. So thank you, teachers, teachers everywhere … please know we notice and really do care!
