Any of you all planning on or already starting to raise a large family? I'm talking about a 'Walton's' type family for those of you who remember that tv show. More than 2 or 3 kids but as many as you...

It's such a great convenience for me to not have to leave the house - particularly when the snow is piled high - to get the information I need from the library, city hall, or where ever. I can send...

So, for the blue jean pot holders, you just stick your hand into the pocket when you want to pick something up? What a clever idea! I could also imagine a blue jean apron to complement them.

I'm wanting to build a small indoor pond in the entryway of our home. Nothing bigger than about 4 ft by 2 ft wide; maybe with a small waterfall cascading down some rocks. It will probably be fairly...

Ha, ha straight up! That's my dad; no sugar, cream or anything. He used to be a Folger's guy but now my mom buys whatever is cheapest. I like the smell but I've never tasted it.

My kids like making small wooden projects as well. I'm hoping that as they get older they will keep at it and learn how to use various woodworking tools. It could be a way for them to earn a living...

Seems like you could put some chicken wire or some other type of barrier around the corn to deter those pesky animals. I read once that you could make a spray of cayenne pepper or some type of hot...

At first I thought I would wall paper over the paneling in the entryway of our house. Now I'm thinking of painting over it. I've seen some online info about doing a faux treatment that would make the...

We had been saving but some needs of friends and families made us start dipping into that stash. When we did that, it just kinda started going down hill from there. We're starting again but it always...
