I like to take muesli to work. The night before, mix oats and yogurt in small bowl with a lid. I use about 1/2 c. oats and 3/4 c. yogurt. The next morning top it with fruit, honey or maple syrup...

We love our Neuton and wish that all of our neighbors had them! Not only does it take care of air pollution, but noise pollution as well.

I reupholstered a chair with a similar curve in the back and it was very tricky. It doesn't look perfect, but I certainly liked it better than the "before" version. In the end, if it turns out te...

I quit my job when my flextime was taken away, so I could keep my kids out of daycare. Now we are living on 30% of our previous take home. Luckily we are frugal folks. Here's a few of our strate...

I got the great idea to paint my tiny bathroom orange -- "Home Depot" orange. The bathroom GLOWED. I cannot tell you how awful a person can look in the mirror when the room is glowing orange. It...

This is a question that has been plaguing me lately! Partially because it's not terribly green (hello, food miles!) and partially because I consume waaaay too much caffeine. Here's my ultimate th...

We contribute to the Salvation Army and the local Open Door Mission. However, anytime we know of a specific family that is need of financial help, we try to help them as well.

I'm going to second the Xtracycle - it rocks. I think it offers the best versatility. Our Burley flatbed is also handy, though. You can get a giant Rubbermaid tub that fits on it perfectly. Loa...

Have you checked out a Kill A Watt meter? You can plug in any appliance to it and find out how much electricity it's drawing. It certainly encouarged us to turn off our computer more often! Chec...
