Even though we are in the middle of winter, I am starting to think about our outdoor living space. We have a pretty big yard and love to grill and entertain outdoors, but our patio area has no style at all. Yeah we have some decent patio tables and chairs, but that’s pretty much it….
As you all know, I am really working on going green and trying to live a healthier life. The only problem I face though is the fact that organic and green products tend to be a little pricier than their non-green counterparts, so I’m still at a stage where I buy green products only when…
Everyone has their own reason for wanting to save energy. For many it is to help the strain on the environment as well as their pocket books. We have all seen the “green homes” and extreme environmental people who will tell you if you are not 100% green you are not doing enough. I for…

It’s that time of the year when I start to think about getting my life organized and all the home organizing and home improvement projects I want to do this year. I always tend to start of with lots of plans,but just like resolutions, a lot of these plans somehow seem to fizzle. Not this…
We (well mostly Phil) did a lot of cooking this past holiday season. With cooking, comes messes, and since he loves to fry certain foods, we certainly wound up with a mess. When we finally slowed down from all the holiday hustle and bustle, it was time to deal with the mess. One particular trouble…
As I mentioned in my previous post about decorating for the holidays, one of the items we purchased while shopping at the Sears Holiday Shop was a Christmas train set for Z.E.N. As soon as we got home, he insisted that we had to set it up. We had a long day and I really…
After decorating our tree last week, I realized that Christmas was approaching fast, and I barely had any other decorations up.
