Approximately 4 months ago, I purchased a Cuisinart TOB-60 Convection Toaster Oven Broiler in a stainless steel style. I was impressed with the look, size and function it provided at a reasonable price of $129.99 (regularly priced at $189.99). I was looking for a dual oven and toaster to …

These plastic spoons work just as well as the plastic forks sold at Walgreens under the Walgreens brand, and they cost the exact same amount, ninety-nine cents, for twenty-four. In fact, I would go as far to say that these spoons are better than the plastic forks, but that …

I wasn’t so sure about this when I read about it in some sort of family magazine but I think it actually worked much better than I was expecting, which I guess may not be saying a lot if I wasn’t expecting much at all, but I’ll just say …

I’m sort of a modernist when it comes to window treatments. In a perfect world I’d have bare floor to ceiling windows flanked by decorative panels.I don’t like normal sheers and I’m definitely not into lace curtains. Both look dated and old lady-ish to me.
But, lets’ face it. …

Now that we once again have a baby (excuse me, soon-to-be toddler) in our house, we are re-learning just how much of a major pain in the butt carpeting can be. After all, our daughter can’t seem to go a day without spilling something on the floor. And, usually, …
