Heather says: Let’s get the question out of the way: I’ve been batting around the idea of writing The Home-Ec 101 Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and Other More Likely Disasters. Is this something you’d be willing to purchase (it’d be self-published on Amazon)? I already have the outline done, it’s just a matter of …
Heather says: Over the years I’ve mentioned that condiments and sides are a great way to add variety to your menu without adding a lot of effort.

Heather says: It’s time again for another quick tip from Q-Tips brand cotton swabs. This time we’re heading into the bathroom and no, this tip has nothing to do with personal hygiene.

Heather says: Earlier this morning I mentioned that I had a chance to visit San Francisco and the Method brand’s headquarters. I mentioned that I had never fallen in love with a company before, but it’s not really the company I fell in love with, it’s really the people who are the company. When you …
Bobbie says: As you probably know, February is Heart Month – all month long there have been events & promotions to turn everyone’s attention toward heart health. Since this is a leap year, today is like a Bonus Day – so I thought I’d share my story. I feel like the rest of my life is Bonus …
Heather says: Some of you are like me and stuck with white cabinetry. From a distance, unless you’ve really let things go, white cabinetry almost always looks pretty clean. However, over time, even the most fastidious housekeepers will notice gunk building up in the corners. Q-Tips Precision Tips® and isopropyl rubbing alcohol are great for getting …
