re all want to feel comfortable in our own home. But sometimes stress and frustration can creep on in – especially after many of us have spent extra time at home over the last couple of years. Here are three simple ways to help you find more peace and relaxation at home.
only crowd your space, but they also clutter up your mind as well. Take some time to get rid of what you don’t want or need. You can sell or donate items in good condition and recycle or toss those that aren’t. Make sure items you do keep, like mail, shoes or books have a place to be stored so you’re less tempted to leave them hanging around.
add a sense of nature
set a clean routine
Whether full fiddle leaf figs or smaller trailing pothos, the 70s houseplant trend is back in a big way – and for good reason. Many plants offer air-purifying properties that keep your spaces fresh, adding oxygen and bringing a reminder of the natural world outside the walls of your home. If living plants aren’t your thing, try adding natural colours and textures to your home, such as soothing sage green or rattan rugs or baskets.
get a handle on clutter
Unused items hanging around your home, such as random papers or knickknacks to extra clothes or toys – they not
According to a recent survey commissioned by Libman, more than 90 per cent of those surveyed claim to feel more relaxed when they have a clean home. So, whether you’re looking forward to a big clean or would rather put it off, remember that it will have a great benefit to your mental health in the end. For tough tasks like scrubbing bathroom grout and tiles, try out Libman’s Small Scrub Brush. It has strong polymer bristles for strength and efficiency as well as an ergonomic handle. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe, so you can reuse it often without worrying about spreading old mold or germs. ■ — News Canada May 27–June 10, 2022

On a smaller scale, we have leftovers we don’t know what to do with that pile up in the fridge, whether they’re unused ingredients or uneaten takeout. But there are always quick and easy fixes to elevate your leftovers and bring some fun to mealtime. Here are three tasty ideas to “upcook” your extra food.

bacon makes everything better
Bacon is one of the most popular foods in Canada. In fact, a recent survey by Maple Leaf Foods reports that nearly half of Canadians believe that bacon makes everything taste better. Bacon is such a versatile ingredient that you can use leftovers to create tasty dishes for each course – even dessert! Look for all-natural bacon products, such as those from Maple Leaf Foods, to ensure you’re making a tasty choice that’s also sustainable.
don’t loaf around
Bread ends and crusts have long been considered waste. However, these choice pieces – even when stale – can be the start of wonderful recipe ideas. French toast, crostini, and bread pudding all demand the use of bread crusts and day-old loaves, so with a little creativity, you can make the most of your next bakery purchase. ■ — News Canada May 27–June 10, 2022

3 tips for hitting your
savings goals S
aving looks different for everyone. Maybe it’s putting away every spare dime for a major purchase, or saving what you can, when you can into a rainy-day fund. No matter what your savings goals look like, focus on getting there a little faster with these three tips:
mould your savings to your budget, not your budget to your savings
Like any habit, saving money takes time and discipline, and unrealistic expectations mean you may be disappointed when you don’t save as much as you were hoping to. To achieve your goals, don’t make any decisions about how much you want to save until you’ve done a "triaged budget". That means ranking all regular, monthly expenses from the essential to the “nice-to-haves.” See how much is left over, and if that number feels too small, reassess some of the items that are lower on your budget. This will help you put your goal in context and better set you up for success.
make shopping lists — and stick to them
Nothing kills your savings like impulse spending, which can also wear away at the good habits you’ve started to build. Combat impulse buying by leaving the house with a budgeted list and stay committed to it. If you want some additional flexibility, factor in some room for impulse choices, so your prepped and ready when you go shopping.
professional help is a great option
Nobody has to come up with a financial plan or budget alone. Talking to a financial advisor is the best way to set and achieve long-term savings goals that work for your lifestyle. The earlier in your savings journey you see a financial advisor, the greater impact they can have to get you on the right track.

kid-friendly moves
BY CHUCK RESNICK
Moving can be stressful for children. The change can be overwhelming, but there are ways to make it easier on them. It’s important to inform your kids about the family’s plans to move as soon as you can. The more preparation time they have, the easier it will be for them, say child psychologists.
M
oving is a family process so share the excitement and responsibilities with every member of the family. Give everyone an age-appropriate responsibility. Kids will enjoy decorating our moving boxes. And when you are in your new home, it will be easier for them to find their stuff. If kids feel included and take ownership of their new home decision, the transition will go much easier.
Involve your kids in the packing process and start packing items you will not need ahead of time. Throughout the move, stay as upbeat and calm as possible. Give your children a chance to express their feelings and try to be honest about your own feelings. Most children will feel some anger, sadness or may worry about the move. Reassure them they aren’t alone and it’s OK to have these feelings. Involve your kids in the packing process and start packing items you will not need ahead of time. Sentimental items your children treasure like special blankets, beloved stuffed animals and photo albums should be kept in a separate bag or box which they can keep close
