I can’t even believe I had to acquire a product like this, but with kids in the household, I guess it was an inevitable problem that I’d have to deal with eventually. I guess it’s better to be sooner rather than later, when they are older and know better …

I must admit, I was quite surprised when my mom brought home a bag of large plastic clothespins. We have lots of wooden clothespins, and I had never used these large plastic ones. They actually looked more like toys than durable clothespins.
Although we have lots of wooden …

I can talk about the Craftsman Yard Tractor all day long if you let me. I have never been the type of woman who likes to do yard work. My husband says that I’m not your average chic. Which I can totally agree with him on this one. I …

My family and I tend to buy lots of florescent and energy saving light bulbs as a means of finding ways to decrease our light bill, especially since electric bills seem to get higher and higher. Since we tend to be on a fairly low budget many times, it …

This cloth certainly works in helping to clean off the delicate surfaces of DVDs and CDs, but it doesn’t work quite as well the Allsop CD and DVD FastWipes. I think it’s probably due to the Allsop CD and DVD FastWipes get used once and are then thrown away …

Pleasant is the word that I would use to describe this scented candle from Renwick. The apple cinnamon scent isn’t overpowering, and that’s a good thing. The scent sort of stays in the background as it occupies a room. By that, I mean, when I first walk into the …

Cutlery is something that every home needs, but it can be surprisingly expensive and replacing it can blow a fairly large hole in your budget. This is even more the case if you want to have a spare set as well as the utensils you use on most occasions, …

This is one of those products I felt I just had to write a review on. I started using Mod Podge when I made a vase for my mom for Mother’s Day. I basically cut out little pieces of scrapbook paper and adhered them to the vase …

We liked our small, cordless stick vacuum by Eureka enough to try this new Boss Smartvac upright cleaner. We bought it at Kohl’s and it was less than 130 dollars. My wife likes the fact that it has a HEPA filter. I like that the various parts are easy …

Well, since my present thermo flask had gone out of service, it was time for me to look for a new one. So I drove my way to Tesco; the nearest local hypermarket that is located within 2 km from my home. I saw so many thermo flasks there …

I am a huge fan of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It can clean almost anything with a little elbow grease! The secret is to buy the actual Mr. Clean brand. I have found that generic or knock off brands do not work as well.
The Mr. …

Its been awhile since my family gather together to have an outdoor picnic and since they love grilled food like chicken, pork meat and grilled hamburger and with me being a vegetarian I always have a grilled tofu and grilled vegetables. Yes, grilled food are more healthy than fried …
