Another week has gone by and here is our review:
Ironing: The Chore we love to hate
I guess I don’t really hate it (although my recent bought with ironing did inspire the title) but let’s just say, it’s not my favorite thing to do. In my case, it may be that I’m just not that great at doing it. I tend to burn myself and my clothes and those stubborn wrinkles seem to get the best of me. Wash and wear works for me. However, there are some products and some tips that will help make ironing a little simpler…
De-Cluttering Boot Camp: I Can’t Get Rid of that! 2
If you have an item that deserves that place of honor, by all means take it out of the box or the dusty corner and display it proudly. But what about all of those items you don’t want to display or use but simply look at and say: I can’t get rid of that!

When you have kids, especially teens and ‘tweens, it may seem like the phone never stops ringing. Even if you don’t have kids, it may ring quite a bit. You might just begin hearing ring tones in your sleep! On that note, it’s a good idea to pick a ring tone that you really, really like…
