Cleaning my mop-able floors on my hands and knees - with a bucket of vinegar/hot water and an old t-shirt - is the only way to get my floors looking and feeling clean.

The house two doors down is the only rental on our block. Unfortunately, the landlord will rent to anyone who receives housing assitance because it's a sure thing. Currently there a...

Books and skateboards.

We have screens in our windows to keep the bugs away. They don't deter our cats though. Once, our big 20 lb monster escaped and I didn't have time to track him down. When my husband got home fr...

Oh... and the hangover "cure": A couple pain relievers and glass of water before bed.

I'm a very high functioning drunk and usually manage to get things pretty tidy before I turn in. Speaking of HSN, one time several years ago, I woke to find my credit card and phone ...

Your home is fantastic! The doll-doorhandle, the "colers" sign, the kitty on the well worn chair... it's all perfect.

That outdoor space almost made me weep. (That's a good thing.)

Come on, people. It's a temporary solution for people who are trying to make the best of it. You want gross? This one time I dropped my toothbrush IN the toilet...

I have no real advice. I just love that room.

A long time ago I heard someone on television say that she will never own more than she can carry on her back for three miles... or something like that. My husband and I live very simple lives but...

And one more thing, you absolutely cannot feel guilty for putting her in the crate. It's for her safety and she needs a place to be quiet and still. Do not feel guilty because she will exploit yo...

Looking back, I think we learned something in dog training that really helped us with crate training our puppy. It was part of basic obedience for puppies when she was about 4 months old.

I don't know if this will work with a non-stick pan but I recently had great success (!) with this in my crock pot. A healthy portion of baking soda, splash of lemon juice and fill the rest of the...

I'm so excited to be "Curing" this time around. And what perfect timing! I'm going back to school this summer - classes start 05/06 - and I really need to get my house in order before then. I'll...

Me!

We got a second dog a year and a half ago. Our first dog, Woody, was an absolute angel to house and crate train. The little girl, Mabel, was not so easy. She cried all night, every n...

This is so timely. I've also stopped eating meat and I'm currently weaning myself from dairy. I got Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz from the library last night and so far I like...
