For the health and well-being of ourselves and others during these unprecedented times, many of us have chosen to dine out less and get takeout more instead. But just because you're not eating out at a restaurant doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying your favorite restaurant fare altogether. Ordering delivery for pickup or takeout is a great way to not only get some variety in your diet but also to help support your fellow Arizonians so that we can all come out of this pandemic strong. Plus, you can make that support fun with the following crafty DIY takeout-menu organizer ideas that will help you keep track of and account for all your favorite restaurants.
DIY Ideas for Organizing Paper Takeout Menus
- Pantry Pockets. Martha Steward made these outstanding "pantry pockets" that are available via Staples but can also be made on your own. Simply go to the school and home organization aisles of your preferred store and purchase similarly designed desktop folders. Then, get a removable adhesive that is safe for your cabinetry, apply it to the back of the folder, and secure the folder inside your cabinetry, or use strong magnets to attach on the side of your fridge. Place the takeout menus inside, and voila!
- Menu Binder. If you prefer things to be less visible, check out this handy guide for a Takeout Menu & Coupon Binder. What's cool about this crafter's guide is that she includes the printable files she used so that you can spend an hour or so creating a gorgeous takeout menu organizer that matches hers without having to worry about not being crafty enough. Or, you could also use the outline as a guide and provide your own personal touch.

The cooler days of winter in Arizona are coming to a close, and before summer settles in, you need to get your apartment back into tip-top shape. Spring cleaning doesn't have to mean an all-out frenzied cleaning fest. You can achieve a lot with a bit of decluttering. Take a look at five good decluttering tips for your Flagstaff apartment to get your spring cleaning kicked off just right.
Pick up seven items and find them a home.
It sounds silly, but if you're pressed for time between responsibilities, grabbing just seven items at a time and putting them where they belong can really make a difference from day to day. Articles of clothing, mail packages, grocery bags, dishes, electronics, and anything that is out of place can be grabbed and tucked away bit by bit.
Sort through your mail collection.
You know you have one. It's on top of the fridge, it's on the table, it's in a basket. Your mail collection can accumulate quickly, and it can cause a lot of clutter. Pick an hour to gather it all up, sort it out, and toss what you don't need.
Throw away items you've not found a use for in months.
A table you planned to redo, an old phone, the stack of newspapers you saved—these items could serve a purpose … eventually. However, your sanity in a clutter-free space is far more valuable than extra things.
Pick a closet and work five minutes daily.
That overly stuffed closet is filled to the brim, and cleaning it could take all day. Instead of tackling the entire mess, try setting aside five minutes per day to work on it. Set a timer on your phone, and get started. By the time spring arrives, you can have a clutter-free closet.
Rearrange a room.
Rearranging a room does two things: It gives your apartment a new, fresh look, and it forces you to look at any clutter you've had hanging around. It's fine to pick a small space, but at least do this in one room.
Decluttering doesn't have to be time-consuming, and having a nice place to start with can help. Reach out to us at Country Club Vista to find out about the Flagstaff apartments we have available.
