Recycling Bins You Won’t Want to Hide in the Garage

By Tiffany 9 Comments

Have you noticed how completely ugly most recycling bins are? I am sure you have. If you use the bins provided by your city or local waste collection service then you probably have the standard plastic tubs in red, green, or blue. They are fine for putting out at the curb once a week but it gets annoying to have to look at them in your kitchen every day. Not only do they waste a lot of space, they look unsightly.

The 15 Best Frugal Gardening Tips

By Tiffany 20 Comments

Spring has somewhat sprung here in central Ohio. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Yesterday a beautiful Cardinal was sitting in an evergreen tree right outside my bedroom window. I also have some rather ugly plastic flower arrangements hanging on my back porch that were there when we moved in. I don't have a heart to remove them though because every spring a few finch families build nests in them. I have seen a lot of nesting activity this week. I believe I am rethinking my … [Read more...]
