  I would like to pass on a bit of parenting advice that I have learned over the weekend before we begin today. If your children are playing quietly in their rooms, then you should definitely go ahead and check in on them—they are up to no good. Sure...

• Day 146- The Pen is Mightier

  Posted on Wednesday January 28th, 2009 at 17:32 in Cost, reduce, reuse, $1- $99

  I don’t remember the last time that I actually bought a pen before yesterday. Just like your weird friends, they just seem to always be there. To tell you the truth, I really don’t know where I get them, but upon closer inspection they all seem t...

  A few years ago, Beanie Babies were all the rage. I didn’t get into collecting them myself, but I know that there were a few friends of mine that went nuts over collecting them. There were even little plastic things that protected the tag. I c...

• Day 143- Seal of Approval

  Posted on Monday January 19th, 2009 at 18:15 in home, Cost, insulation, $1- $99, $ amount varies

  Back on Day 137, I wrote about sealing up the small cracks around your windows and doors. As I look closer at the subject of sealing your gaps, I have neglected to look at the products one would use to perform this maintenance. Until now, your choice...

  Posted on Wednesday December 24th, 2008 at 05:48 in holidays, lighting, Cost, $1- $99

  Christmas is only a day away and it is definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas–especially from my front window. My neighbor has one of the biggest single yard light displays in our area. He has an unofficial cross town battle royale e...

  It seems that we put up our Holiday decorations earlier each year. About five B.C. (before kids), I was just happy to get a small potted Norfolk Pine tree with a couple of ribbons. My wife kindly reminded me that it looked like the Charlie Brown Chri...

• Day 128- Lose Your Accent

  Posted on Tuesday November 11th, 2008 at 07:44 in lighting, reduce, $1- $99, $0- free

  No, I’m not talking about how you say things, but about how you light your home. Accent lights are pretty when there are guests, but not very practical on a daily basis. The lights that I am talking about are the ones in your china cabinet, cur...

  It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is just around the corner. Well, 63 more days to Christmas to be exact. It seems as though retail stores start decorating earlier and earlier. Pretty soon, stores will have holiday stuff for sale ...

• Day 99- I Think I Need A Bigger Box

  Posted on Saturday September 13th, 2008 at 14:32 in recycle, $1- $99

  I have always wondered why our trash cans are much bigger than our recycling bins. Back at home, our recycling cans are the same size as the roll out trash cans. Having larger recycling bins–or more of them– encourages you to recycle m...
