Your house is super-cute, and I'd love to have a house just like it. I can think of only two things that could make the house too cute to bear: 1. Paint the door. Leave th...

My husband and I have celebrated Thanksgiving by ourselves for the past few years. And we love it. We make a great big turkey, potatoes, green bean casserole with extra ch...

When I have something I don't want my dog to get into, I put it up high or block it off. But I have a pug. I don't know how you're going to physically prevent a 100-pound ...

I keep a box or two of Shout wipes on hand for minor accidents.

I had a different idea for mine. (I'm still working on it.) I don't like to hang art in the kitchen - too much risk of it getting splattered with oil or grease or water or whatever. So...

@Birdablaze - I think it's just a really unflattering dress.

One more tip: Consider your furniture arrangement. I guess this sort of goes along with moving potential hazards. But I think there's more to this one than that idea.

I wouldn't go with sheer curtains, because you'll see the wood right through them. How about instead light-colored curtains made of a heavy fabric. Sort of like the ones in the library at Making It...

My husband and I got our method from "Men's Health" magazine. We cook the bacon on a cookie sheet at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Nice and crispy, but still with a tiny bit of th...

Last year, my husband and I went on a road trip to North Carolina (from Pennsylvania) to visit some relatives. I made a poor boy loaf before we left - Italian bread sliced almost-but-n...

It depends on what I'm eating with them... I generally keep a box of original Triscuits and a box of Breton crackers.

I've never tried it, but I've been told that mixing a little bit of 7-Up with the water works really well.

Furthermore, if you don't know what the object is or represents, you run the risk of offending others. Let's say my husband, who grew up on the Navajo reservation (but is not Navajo), ...

If you're handy or you know someone who is, you can build a cheaper and sturdier version of the Expedit. My husband just built a shelf (to fit the specs of our TV, stereo, VHS collecti...

Where can I get the headboard in the photo?

My husband and I usually get a small bone-in ham (4 to 6 pounds) at the grocery store. We find there isn't too much leftover after Easter. I use the leftovers later in the week to make ham and aspa...
