All opinions are 100% mine.One of the most difficult things about our country cabin living is the mice that frequent my kitchen cabinet.  I know that this isn't something that only happens in the country, but it seems like we have more than our share of the critters...both mice and little moles or as we call them mole-mice.Our Yorkie is naturally inclined toward chasing mice, and tries her best to bark them away, but it isn't enough.  The evidence that they've been around is there each morning.  Sometimes they even find their way up into our utensil drawer, which means cleaning everything in the drawer to rid it of the bacteria and droppings they leave behind.  We have tried a trap that catches them live, ...

Here are the products that consumers should beware of – this week. It’s time to say Auf Wiedersehen to the following six safety hazards: Iams Cat Food – Proctor & Gamble voluntarily recalled some Iams canned cat food for having insufficient levels of thiamine. (Los Angeles Times blog) McDonald’s Shrek-Themed Drinking Glasses – OK, so this one was last week, but McDonald’s is still getting lots of flak for their recall of their not-so-Happy Meal toys, which contained potentially dangerous levels of cadmium, a carcinogen that can cause kidney ailments. (TIME Magazine) Beado Handheld Bead Play Toys – Rhino Toys, Inc. voluntarily recalled their toys due to a choking haz...

If you love cooking, you will see "you" all over the room...the appliances you like to cook with, the dishes you like and so much more.But when you are planning to move, some of what makes the kitchen home to you will need to be removed, so that it looks like what I like to compare with an empty canvas, ready for a new home owner to come in and paint with their own likes.  Because the home buyer tax credit offered right now may not be available after the end of this month, more people than usual are looking at homes to buy, or selling their homes, so they can take advantage of the credit. An $8000 credit is a nice sum of money, my daughter purchased her home recently and was able to take adva...

For us it was a matter of water coming at little lakefront log cabin from the snow melt and rain combination across the street from us. I've included a picture, it is dark and a small photo, so hard to make out, but the property drops off to the house, and the area up against the house had about 10-12" of water up against it several times that night...amazingly with lots of ingenuity, kept almost all of it outside.  What you can't see is the torrent running down to the lake along the left side of the house, my husband had prepared for this by setting up things to divert as much water...

There are general guidelines, but they are affected by how often you use your freezer...for example, I've had an old industrial strength freezer for years, a storage freezer that I stock with items on sale each time I shop...including meats, breads, grain products, legumes, extra boxes of pasta, anything that might spoil or be infested by insects if kept in the cabinets to long. I don't open the door very often, so the temperature is rather steady and the food will be fine for much longer periods of time. The freezer above...

Something like that can be an eye-opener. As my husband repaired the plumbing by himself, which was a challenge as he's not a plumber, (we had the water turned off for about 24 hours:-) I focused on the room. It really is in need of updating...I keep "patching" things - painting, wallpapering, whatever-ing to get by. But it needs more than that. A bathroom is one of the most important rooms to have up-to-date when you are selling your home, and obviously more enjoyable if you are planning on living in it.So what would my bathroom lo...
