Stay Healthy During Flu Season
By Pat from IL
This is flu season. If you have to see your doctor for a check up or because your sick, DO NOT pick up a paper, brochure or especially a magazine! It is the easiest way to pick up an infection or another illness you don't have.
Recycled Cork Thread Dispenser and a Candle Holder
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
If you enjoyed the trivet and the coaster, I am happy. Here is day 3 and 4 of my 4 day post. This one is a bit unique and not for everyone. As someone who sews, you might like it though. The candle holder is cute too, but I wish I could have found a smaller candle.
By Donna
I always save my net vegetable bags and use them for a variety of things, like a safe dish, bathroom or even body scrubber. Or a kitty toy. For some reason, kitty loves to play with them!
Do the Math Beyond the Purchase Price
By mom-from-missouri
Before you purchase an item, do your research. Check the consumer ratings, price compare from store to store, and take into consideration what it will cost you over time to use that item. Several times I have paid more upfront for an appliance as it will save me money over time compared to a less expensive version.
Keep Keyboards Clean with Cling Wrap
By Lucy Cannon
I wrapped my new keyboard with cling wrap, (like Glad wrap). I thought it might be awkward, but I don't even notice that it is there. Occasionally I put a new wrap around my keyboard, as I use it a lot and it can get worn out.
By Mina
We all have them, the old tea towels that are worn out, faded or stained, that we don't care to use anymore and that we would never put out when company is coming over.
