I'd like the price to come down and soon. Even to convert an existing home to being as green as possible is too high for us at the moment. I did read though that the foam foundations---filled...

Our home is a bit old and some parts are starting to wear out. Our front porch is brick with some tile in-lay. Some of the bricks are chipping, as well as the tile. Is the only way to fix this to...

We drink coffee about 2x per week. On Sunday morning, my husband and I will sometimes go to Starbucks for a "Coffee Date". And then I'll make it myself about once a week. I will use a flavored...

Wow, TXDON! Thanks for your input! I guess where we are looking, it may not be quite as "country" as perhaps what you have. We're not sure it's going to happen yet. The company sent my husband an...

We rented for the first 7 years. First a small, 2 bedroom house with a detached 3 car garage. I miss that little house. Then we moved across the country and lived a 2 bed/1 bath apartment on the 3rd...

One thing that worked for us was actually giving our son a small allowance each month. If he wants anything special, ie sports drinks, soda pop, candy, etc., then he has to buy it. I found without...

I typically only buy on sale or at thrift stores. In fact, we just went to Goodwill on Sunday. My son has a prosthetic leg and it tears his pants up. If I would buy new pants for him, we'd be...

The school system that my husband works for is large, 64 schools. In one of the schools he was assigned at first he came home mortified because in one the rooms there was an "isolation room". I asked...

We have an old home. The walls and ceilings have been painted over many time in the last 62 years. Unfortunately, the ceiling paint of the last coat (done before we moved in) is chipping away. ...

The house that I grew up in was built in the 70s and had a basement filled with dark, dark paneling. Shortly before my mom sold the home, she painted, a few coats, right over top of it. No special...

We purchased it at the regular store. It was about $7 per pound. Much more than I would normally pay ground meat but the store was out of the hamburger with the least amount of fat that I normally...

I've seen websites where you can build them yourself. We have not yet. The way our home sits, they would have to be on the front side under our picture window. I'm not sure I want that yet.

I'm using buffalo burger meat for the first time. I'm putting it into lasagna. Does anyone have other recipes in case my family enjoys this? Thanks!

My mom always browns the outside of the roast before she does the slow-cooking. I say that, but I've never been able to master a roast either. Sometimes, which my family likes but I find it dry,...

Our next vehicle, we plan on purchasing a bigger vehicle more like a crossover. We scaled down my husbands to a compact car, a Volvo S40, to accomodate the bigger vehicle for me. Mine is currently...

I'll have to look that up. Thanks! Is this the kind that has cream cheese in the filling mixed with powdered sugar? If so, I have an aunt who makes about 50 each year for her church fundraiser.

I've heard that Tea Tree Oil works and there is a shampoo with heavy doses of tea tree in it and that will help restore the healthiness of the scalp, too. Just a thought. If you do use tea tree...

Can't wait to get started on mine! Thanks for posting. My son has wanted one for such a long time, he actually won one once but then they switched the prize to a gift card at the end. He keeps...

We enjoy camping, although I'm ready to move up from our tent to a pop-camper at least. We normally go over Memorial Day Weekend every year. It's becoming almost too crowded for us as well. To get...

Is Bee Keeping an activity that is coming back in "fashion"? I had never heard of it before and within the past two years, I know several people who do it and our local area offers classes to...

My son likes pumpkin baked goods. He could eat them year round, not just in the fall. Any good recipes you can share? His favorite so far is pumpkin bread but I'd love to expand his horizons.

I currently have some squares cut to piece together but I need to find the time to sit down and do that part. I'm using old jeans and with a few pieces of my favorite shirts that my son wore when he...

I started in the last couple of weeks with my crochet projects. I have waited to the last minute, though, and this being the earliest I've started, I'd have to say I don't feel as stressed. Plus,...

In our situation, it's about 8 min to town and about 30 to the nearest city. We already drive about 45 minutes to work. Plus my brother is about 25 minutes away to the new location. I am concerned...

We've been tossing around the idea of moving from our city to a small piece of land in the country. It may even be to entirely different state (east coast to Montana). Any advice?
