Don't want to drag sand home from the beach with your children's toys? Try putting them in a mesh bag and swishing the bag around in the sea before packing it into the car - the sand will be left in the ocean - not the car or house.

Need some privacy in an annoyingly public location? Make a portable changing room out of two hula-hoops and a bed sheet. Stitch a rod pocket in the edge of the sheet with the narrow hem in it (the wide hem on the other end creates a rod pocket for you), then open up the hula hoops by pulling out the staples from one side of the "cork" that connects the ends and thread the hoop through the rod pockets in the sheet. It can be hung just about anywhere and will afford you that privacy you so desperately need.
