I've found that maintaining a wish list throughout the year is helpful when it comes holiday/birthday time. My family always sends gifts, but we are very far apart. It helps to keep things age appr...

1 in the purse, 2 under the sink, the rest in the car.

So growing up and not replacing my pillows every 2 years, means my house is now contaminated? What ever happened to hanging your bedding out in the sun on a regular basis? It kills the mites and ma...

LIZ_B What a great idea! This is a project I've wanted to try but was afraid I would mess up the pattern. The pegboard really takes the fear out of the project. Thanks!

Oh if you can, I like to create a "staging area" in the new place to put all boxes. As I unpack, I move the boxes into the proper room (kitchen, bedroom, etc) that way every room in my place is not...

"the keep with you bag" should include: toilet paper drink cups-enough for all workers overnight stuff cleaner and most important scissors/knife (try unpacking anythin...

Growing up my dad made a trapeze out of a wood pole and some rope that hung in our family room. When it was not in use, the bar part fit into the hooks on the ceiling (it wasnt very high). When I g...

It's a good idea, but not centering the TV in the niche is making my brain hurt.

Am I the only one who has 2 phones chargers? That was the one thing that was ALWAYS in the wrong place when I need it.

I love the walls in the bedroom. Anyone know who makes the wallpaper? Or is that just paint?

This looks like therapy. All those hours painting... Someone was assimilating.

I dont have any experience with hot plates, but I found in college that a medium sized toaster oven was incredibly good to have around. Now that I live in a house, I use my toaster oven almost excl...

I'm with the crowd. Here in Texas it's finally cooling off enough to open the windows and get some fresh air in the house. I also deep clean the kitchen, wash the windows, dust the odd places (ceil...

Bacon wrapped green beans. Marinade in worchestershire, garlic, whatever other seasonings on hand. Wrap a few in a slice of bacon and grill. yum!

Wow, I feel like an idiot. I inherited one of these from my Nana last year and it's been sitting in my garage while I think of a use for it. Now I know what to do!

Maybe I'm missing the point, but arent these the same as the bags used to corral delicates in the washer? Just rebranded?

LOVE the tables. Where can I find them?

For as long as I can remember, my mother has used our old wooden school house chair in the kitchen to reach things on the upper cabinets (we are short). When it wasnt being used, she put it at the ...
