Your Home’s Launch Pad and Landing Pad Print E-mail
Written by K Quinn   

Having a set place to leave things you will need for the day’s outings is generally known as a launch pad. You know like launching out into space. A designated place for your keys, purse, and day planners, etc. The things you grab on your way out.

We like to call this place a launch pad.  And also a landing pad. The same place backwards and forwards. A place to lay your keys, purse, briefcase and the like. A spot that is always waiting to receive your belongings. Or a place that is at the ready with your belongings. Ready for you each day with the items needed to accomplish your tasks.
