I think this is a neat idea and definitely one I will consider. I live in Wa and to be honest I find plenty of these on the ground after a storm even just outside my house. Ripping them off trees i...

Realizing I deserve to have a home worthy of the photos I drool over, is my main motivation. Gradually everyone else is agreeing and thought it has taken many years it is always getting better.

I am up in the seattle area and I know some people were able to get the industrial grade felt from Boeing Surplus store. I do not know if it is something they always carry but you might want to che...

You are already doing step 1 which is realizing things need to change, good for you! The next biggest suggestion I have is be willing to try new things anytime anyone offers you a tas...

I almost always do a thank you note and a gift card to somewhere that the teacher shops. I ask them, telling them I don't want to give them a little knick-knack that will just clutter up their room...

I love these bottles. I bought a few a while ago to use as water bottles for myself. They are too large for the car drink holders though. Recently I bought a bunch more to use for ice...

I have the smaller green ones of the above. I use them all the time. I typically use them for vegetables, which is what I bought them for. I do not have trouble with them collapsing but I bought th...

Thank you so much for the IKEA sale code. I did not know about that and have put off going all week so far. I have several things I need to get but the house is going a lot slower than I would like...

Having to avoid dairy proteins entirely as well as soy, I have settled on Almond Breeze almond milk with no added sugar as well. It works best in the majority of my recipes. I have tried it in a fe...

I almost bought an air popper but did not want yet another little used appliance cluttering up my cabinets. So I learned that 1/4 cup of popcorn in a brown lunch bag where i just fold over the top...

www.twogreenthumbs.com It has a huge gallery, patio kits and all sorts of fun things. My kids and I have several planned to finish for our patio this spring.

Other than making sure I keep to our budget and our goal of getting out of debt not a whole lot. I am keeping our goal of getting out of debt clearly in mind when I make the menu and do the grocery...

It depends on the person to be honest and how sensitive their bodies are. In our family of 4 myself and my son respond very well to homeopathic remedies yet my husband and daughter do not.

We do a combo of Netflix, Netflix streaming to our Xbox 360 (Which totally rocks!), the occasional rental from a local store, and a few movies a year in the theater.

Hmm we tend not to do anything on Valentine's day as our anniversary is just a few weeks before. I never quite know what kinds of things I will get but they are always sweet. One year I did get a h...

One thing to think about before even getting an older child a loft bed is how to change the sheets. We got our son a loft bed and ended up having to lower it because no one could get up there to ch...

I understand the bulk purchase idea as I come from a really large family. I have about 2 dozen dinner plates in my china pattern as they are fairly inexpensive. I have used nearly all of them withi...

I am loving the new interface. We have 2 xbox 360s in our house and we have updated them both. Our main one we just attached to our netflix account. There are quite a few things on the instant queu...

Allergies are a pain. I am completely dairy intolerant and we are weening our children off it as well. Unfortunately dairy products seem to be in nearly everything. My husband is allergic to peanut...

I do have kids and this year we switched to a 5-5:30 dinner time depending on what I am making. Since my husband most of the time can work the hours he chooses he usually makes it home just before ...
