Morning is a hectic time in our home. Getting everyone out the door and the dog back in is always a challenge.

For me, it was also what happened to my car keys. After reading this tip in a magazine about having a set place for everything. I nailed a hook in my pantry closet. Every time I come through the door, my keys go on the hook.

Now in some families, it's the remote that vanishes. One of my girlfriends came up with the idea of a remote basket. All the remotes sit on the coffee table, at least when her husband puts them back.
