Heather says: Last month I told you about my trip to the Method Headquarters in San Francisco, CA. You remember that, right? How could you forget? Below is the first video starring Noah (the guy on the right), who is amazingly awesome and a fun guy to be around. I personally hope he becomes …
Dear Home Ec 101, I was making grilled cheese sandwiches. I lifted the skillet to slide a sandwich onto the plate, and it got too close to the bread. And to the bread’s plastic bag. Of course I didn’t notice that until I tried to lift the skillet again and found that it was a …
Heather says: As many of you know I’ve been working with Q-Tips for the past few months to remind readers that Q-Tips are good for ever so much more than just your health and beauty needs. (For what it’s worth, I’ve found they are great for when my daughter destroys the tube of topcoat to the …
