Making Sense out of Nonsense
Am I the only one who hates the smell of clothes that have been dried outside on a clothesline? Hate it, hate it, hate it. It smells like my little brothers did after playing outside all day, and that was just gross. So as much as I appreciate trying to be green, I’m staying inside. [...]
The after-disaster of all the cooking, baking, and eating in life stinks. There’s food to put away, spills to wipe up, dishes to wash, and for some strange reason everyone else in the house mysteriously disappears post-meal. Hmmmmmm.

Official Time Change: Saturday night/Sunday morning (November 4, 2012) at 2 AM Thirty-eight percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes with no smoke alarms, while 24 percent occur in homes in which at [...]
If you’re anything like me, you think you’re prepared and you think you know what to do in case of a fire, but some of the ways I thunk…well, they stunk. So these two fine firefighters from my local fire department visited last week to make sure I knew how to protect myself and any [...]
Last week I flew to St. Louis along with ten other bloggers to visit the Rug Doctor headquarters and factory.
