Yes, what does your keychain say about you? Does your key-ring look like you are a school janitor or do you feel like you need a few more on your chain? I have about 6 keys on my keyring but I ran into a problem. Which key goes to which door? I found myself getting frustrated and wondering "Does this key go to our new house or old house? Does it go to my husbands work or to my mom's house?" Ahhh, I drove myself crazy trying each key over and over everytime I needed to get into a house or storage unit. Why was this so hard? It really shouldn't be. There has to be a way to organize these 6 keys so I can see which one goes to which door. I tried the Sharpie method but almost as soon as I wrote a keyword on the key with it, it rubbed off. So, (yes, this seems so simple, why didn't I think of it earlier?) I brought out one of my best friends.... my label maker.

Wow, has this thing made a difference! I now can view my keys and recognize which one goes to which door. So, my tip for you today is to label each key with a keyword (Tip: DO NOT use words as "home" or your address as labels. If someone found your keys, this would be too easy for them to use.) See if it doesn't help and you feel more confident when looking for a key to unlock your door.

So, while this seems so simple and such a short (and meaningless) post, I am now excited to have an organized keyring. It's the little things in life...
