I've actually tried growing a tomato plant in a regular hanging basket. It's producing tomatoes, but nowhere nearly as prolific as the Topsy Turvy. I think the topsy Turvey allows the plant to gr...

Give up on the dishwasher... it's taking up too much of your budget and it doesn't make sense to install it under the sink. Click and lock laminate flooring is easy to install yourself...

How is a plastic yogurt container LESS bulky than a plastic bag? It seems to me that plastic bags can be squished into small spaces more easily than a semi-rigid container.

I have one of those tall pyramid-shape pot racks that stands in a corner (or, in our kitchen, next to the wine rack). The lids are stored upside-down on the corresponding pot and then they all sta...

The Mr. Clean magic erasers work really well at scrubbing off all sorts of weird grimy gunk. Paired with a solution of water and Dr. Bronner's soap, and a little elbow grease, and your oven door s...

For holiday parties, start a big pot of hot cider in the crockpot. It takes no time (aside from the heating), it's foolproof, it makes the house smell awesome, and it's a really nice way to welcom...

If the grain beetles really did come in the bag of dog food, I'd return it to the store. Sadly, most pet stores are accustomed to such returns and understand that some deliveries of dry food get "...

I think I'd like to see any kind of alien. I'd probably play them some Willie Nelson songs. Hopefully they'd end up being better about paying taxes, though. Maybe they'd do away with taxes!

I'm kind of hoping chocolate made it into the book.

Hee... I love that the water goes into your dog's bowl. Just the other day I had shower water (you know, the cold water you collect before it gets hot) but all the plants outside didn't need water...

Hmm... that's actually a really hard question! I guess I'd have to go with the original Fantasia soundtrack. I've even turned clips of the songs into ringtones. =)

I can understand the concept of buying fresh produce and maybe only a week's worth. Then you could sell the idea of a very small fridge - but a kitchen with no fridge at all? Assuming that you ar...

When taking pictures of pets, and if your point-and-shoot has the option, use the multi-photo setting that takes 3 or 4 shots per "click". Ultimately, dogs blink or move or stick their tongue out,...

I love simple, seasonal dishes and I think this cookbook could easily stay on the top of the pile. I mean... the organized and efficient stack of cookbooks that are in no way bothering my boyfrien...

I have no good tips other than the fact that using grocery store twisties (after getting produce home) is our current method of cord control. I love that Incase sleeve!

Beef stew in the crockpot. And I cheat by not browning the meat before hand. Mmm... the best part is, you can beef stew, throw in some cubes of Japanese curry, and then you have curry stew!

We keep a landline connection for emergencies. It's really cheap (no long distance, and we don't make calls out) and it gives me peace of mind that it's there in case our cell connection goes down...

My tomato plants are just now giving my ripe tomatoes, so I say they're still in season. And we're gobbling them up in simple salads - sometimes with basil and burrata, sometimes just with salt an...

I use Method's Free and Clear laundry detergent and I think it works fine. Granted, my laundry isn't usually very dirty, so I'm probably not testing it to its full stain/dirt fighting abilities.

FreeAgent Desk for Windows... I'll take it as big as you can go!
