    This week I came across two new Velcro interventions!

     Car Note Pad with suction cup (found in a closet)

    The instructions say to wet the suction cup and apply to the windshield but this didn’t work for me – obstructing my view and the suction didn’t hold.  I bought some adhesive-backed Velcro, applying a strip to my...

    Every year in honor of Earth Day (April 22) I try to add one new behavior to help Mama Earth.  This year I'm singing the praises of my Baggler Bags.  This cute little red pouch (6" x 7")  comes with  3 sturdy nylon bags (each opening to 14" x 16") and easily holds 2 or 3 more.  I...

    I can't travel far without my keys.  They have a home on a little table by my front door - and they rarely run away from home.  I've trained them well.  And since I don't leave home without them- they've become my mini command center while I'm on the go.  Not only do I carry my house keys (and keys to two other doors I have...

    Jul 27 2010 - 5:08pm

    Anyone who knows me at all, knows who much I love food.  I can often be found perusing the pages of cookbooks and magazines seeking a challenging new recipe to try.  While I don’t subscribe to any cooking magazines, I often grab one on my way to the beach and since we’ve had so many beach days, I’ve been reading even more frequently,...

    One of the tasks that must be completed in the back-to-school preparations is tackling the dreaded school supply list.  Prior to this year, the kids would grab their lists and we’d all jump in the car and head out to the store.  I’d push the cart while they would drop in the items on their lists, begging simultaneously for this color...

    The sticky note has become one of those indespensible tools for both home and office.  But sticky notes have their limitations.  Sometimes that little strip of temporary adhesive just isn't enough.  Post-It has solved the problem.  Removable labels!

    And not just in one size or in one color.  Post-It has made...

    Keep your jewelry safe and orderly in a jewelry box.  If you are like me and have more jewelry than will fit in a traditional shoe box size jewelry box, look at alternatives such as the...

    Are you looking for a way to simplify and save money this holiday season?

    Last year, we tried something new with my husband's side of the family.  Because finances were tight for all of us, we all agreed to buy just one gift for someone else in the family.  We drew names (and it couldn't be our...
