Like most little people, my children love donuts. The problem is that I don’t like them to consume too much fat so the deep fried donuts we buy while we’re out are off the menu, it didn’t occur to me that you could buy a donut pan and cook …

On a trip to a nearby outlet mall a while back, we stopped in the Black and Decker store. While there, we saw the B&D Extra Tall can opener. At around $15, we decided to purchase it, as much for price and brand name as much as for …

I bought Nikon 8072 Microfiber Cleaning Cloth for $7.86 online. Here is my review.

Now that I’m in a house, I’m still trying to decide whether it’s worth it.
When I …

Though I usually like to use wash cloths when I take a shower, they cannot always give me the rich lather that I am looking for. I have purchased a few bath sponges and thought they were pretty much all the same. I recently came upon a bath sponge …

What I really can’t stand about having three cats is the smell of the cat litter! Anyone who’s had a cat knows the smell I’m talking about. Sometimes I’m not always able to clean out the cat litter that quick, and my aunt buys really cheap cat litter sometimes …

It’s recommended for cleaning virtually everything, except clear plastic, pearls, unfinished wood and leather. Simple Green comes in a big jug of concentrated liquid. It …

This air conditioner is actually very misleading. When I thought that it was portable, I had expectd differently. This air conditioner is quite simple. It is for in the home use and requires a window. This isn’t one of those whole house air conditioners. It does not sit outside …

Many products are now ultra concentrated and the Downy products line is no exception with their new Ultra Downy Simple Pleasures Fabric Softener in pink opal. I couldn’t imagine what pink opal would smell like in a liquid fabric softener, but as I often only buy things on sale …

I’ve had this mixer for nearly twelve months now. It’s a 250 watt, 4.5 quart mixer, and though it was a bit of a splurge when I bought it, it has actually turned out to be more than worth it. Before getting this mixer, I didn’t do much baking. …
