We built our drying rack into a 8'-wide window frame. The top is hinged so that the rack can flip up and attach to 2 little hooks on the ceiling. When not in use, we close it up and cover with sh...
I've done fruit, jam, and pickles, but have never been inspired to can vegetables. It just sounds yucky. Maybe it's a texture thing.
Any veggie success stories? And what kinds of t...
I suspect that vegetarian kitchens are lower maintenance. For the occasional veggie fry-up, we use newspaper. For the cat's hairballs: newspaper. For the rest: tea-towels and old bath towels cu...
The automatic dishwashing powder is a great product (so no need to buy the more expensive dishwashing gel in its plastic packaging!)

This is so important. I gradually transitioned my cosmetics this past spring, and am currently dabbling in deoderants. (Lavalin is by far the best so far.) The toxic holdout in my medicine chest ...
I keep a hot water bottle in the freezer and take it to bed at night. For baby, I'll tuck a lunch-size cold pack into a hiking sock and put it in the stroller.
It is lazy. It is litter. And everywhere I've lived it's illegal. My city's trash collectors are pretty quick to code large items left on the sidewalk with a florescent orange paint stripe. (Su...
