I love to work on my grandson's scrapbook, but sometimes I start working on a page and just don't know what I want to do with it.  That's when I turn to my books on scrapbooking for inspiration.  It really helps get the ideas rolling.515 Scrapbooking Ideas is just one of the books I own on scrapbooking.  It has lots of great ideas, but I believe it's better suited...

We bought Legacy cabinets for our kitchen remodel over a year ago and have been very satisfied with the product.  We were looking for a mid range price cabinet with good quality and these looked like the best for the money.  We had a couple of slight problems with the finish on a couple of the doors when they were delivered, but we had no problem getting them replaced.  The const...

I admit I tried to save money by having my print cartridges refilled.  First I bought a kit to refill them myself, but I had only minimal luck with that and it was messy.  Then I tried to have them refilled at Walgreen's and found that after using the refilled cartridge for only about a week, I kept getting an error message that the cartridge was not compatible with my printer.&nb...

I use this brand of weed killer because it is a little less costly than some of the other more popular brands.  I have used the other brands and have had about the same results as the Spectracide brand.  I use this in a lot of different areas of my yard, such as the gravel driveway, around bushes and trees, killing the weeds before I plant my garden and along my fence.  This is i...

We bought this Kenmore side load washing machine 5 years ago.  I really liked the machine until just recently when it started breaking down. We bought the side load machine to save on water and also energy cost.  The side load machine uses approximately  16 to 24 gallons vs. up to 40 gallons of water used by top-loading machines.  It spins the clothes much dryer than a top-l...

I use these peat pellets in my greenhouse to start my larger seeds like, cucumbers, watermelons & pumpkins.  They are made from peat moss and have a nylon netting around them to hold the peat in place.  When you get them in the bag they look like a large round coin, then you soak them in water and they expand.  You can buy a separate mini greenhouse for these peat pellets, th...

I have always used CD's or DVD's to backup my files on the computer, but I have always wanted to try backing up with a USB flash drive.I take a lot of pictures for my business and also have tons of data that I need to save both for business and personal use on my computer.  I sometimes get lax on backing up this information in a timely matter and after having trouble starting my co...

We bought this pressure washer to clean our daughter's house before we painted.  It did the job for us very well. The pressure washer is mounted on a cart with 2 wheels, which makes it so easy to move around.  The engine is a Briggs & Stratton and the PSI is 2100 with a 1.9 GPM flow. It has a 25 foot hose attached to the cleaning wand. The machine is fairly easy...

I have been using Schultz Houseplant & Gardens Bug Spray for Whitefly & Mealy bugs for a few years now.  When I bring my plants in to over winter in the house, I almost always find an infestation of bugs.  White flies are little bugs that look like tiny moths that you will notice flying around your plants.  They can be a tough and persistent pest to get rid of.  Meal...

If you have a child or grandson, like I do that loves to play outside, you are sure to hear those familiar words, "I need a band-aid" quite often.

I just love the Velvet Tuberose fragrance products in the Treasures collection at Bath & Body Works.  This review is for the Creamy Body wash that comes in an 8 oz tube.  The creamy lather smells so heavenly in the shower and is a compliment to any of the other Velvet Tuberose  products I wear after my shower.  Enriched with milk and oatmeal proteins, it makes my skin fe...

I found this Hartz dog shampoo in a house I was cleaning and decided to try it out.  Neither my terrier poodle mix nor my beagle likes to have a bath, so I thought maybe the calming effect of lavender in this shampoo might have some effect on them.  Well to tell you the truth, I can't really say for sure if it was the shampoo that made this bath time a relaxing one.  But they...
