Avoid overfilling machines. Clothes must move freely throughout the cycle. For washers, this allows the clothes to become thoroughly clean. For dryers, this allows the clothes to dry uniformly.
Use proper settings. If your machines have special settings for permanent press, use them. Use the special 'Cool Down' cycle to minimize wrinkles for both the washer and the dryer.
Use warm or hot water to wash, cold water to rinse. Especially with permanent press, most items should be washed in warm water and rinsed in cold water. Linens and underwear can be washed in hot water to sanitize them.
Remove clothes immediately when the cycle is done. When removing clothes from the washer, smooth out each item before placing it in the dryer. Do not allow clothes to sit unfolded in the dryer; this will invariably result in wrinkles.
Fold or hang clothes right away after drying. While clothes are still warm from the dryer, you can shape them on the hanger or as you are folding them. Taking a few minutes to do this alone can save significant ironing.

Brunch Party IdeasIn Feburary 2016 03,
In Feburary 2016 03,
Nibblers are the equivalent of appetizers at a cocktail party, but at a brunch party, the standards are more casual. Fruit platters are a great appetizer for brunch, and complement the breakfast theme as well. French toast slices with powdered sugar are another quick and easy nibbler, and you can even spice things up by offering different types of syrup at the table. In your grocery store's refrigerator section, you can purchase dime-size hot cakes, and follow up on your dipping idea with French toast. Don't hesitate to get creative!
Juices
If you really want to make an impact on your guests, offer a few kinds of homemade juices. Anyone can serve tea bags or juice from the carton, and your guests expect that. Wow them with anything from fresh squeezed orange juice to pink lemonade; it's bound to be appreciated. There are several recipes online where you can find fruit drink concoctions that are sure to knock the socks right off your guests (see foodnetwork.com site in Resources below).
Entrée Ideas
When hosting a brunch party, you can get away with making easy breakfast food, as long as you do it right. Scrambled eggs are a quick and easy way to fill up your guests and are best presented on a decorative platter. Hot cakes are another filling entrée that are easily served on a platter and complemented with a variety of syrups. Keep in mind that they are also easier to make for a large number of people, as opposed to items like waffles. Don't forget to include slices of toast on your menu, and maybe even a fruit parfait. Your guests are sure to have a great time, and leave happy with a full stomach.

How to Plan a Menu for a Jewelry PartyIn Feburary 2016 02,
In Feburary 2016 02,
Reserve time at the end of the showing and a special place for socializing and snacks. In providing a separate area for gathering, the potential for dropping crumbs or spilling drinks on the jewelry is minimized.
Choose a menu with food that is easy to prepare. Jewelry parties should be fun, not burdensome. Most guests are satisfied with something to drink and a light snack.
Consider putting regular and decaf coffee and hot or iced tea on the menu at your jewelry party. Include flavored creamers. Hot chocolate is a great option during cold-weather months.
Choose an assortment of Danish, muffins and scones or other pastries for a late-morning or early-afternoon party.
Find fresh fruit in season for a delectable treat. Serve alongside cheese and crackers.
Plan a menu with bagels and an assortment of flavored and low-fat cream cheese.
Make use of limited table space for snacks by creating an edible centerpiece, such as a fruit or vegetable centerpiece. Serve with your favorite fruit or vegetable dip, such as a caramel dip for apple slices or a ranch dip for crunchy veggies.
Get Results From Snack Time
Take advantage of snack time to interact with each guest. Encourage booking a party while offering to assist with snack ideas and setup.
Express appreciation to each guest for attending while socializing around the snack table. Be sure to spend time with visitors to expand your options for future jewelry parties.
Use snack time as an opportunity to announce the winners of any drawings. Give special recognition to winners by asking them to be first in line for snacks.
