I am not a facial tissue consumer. We almost never, ever buy them. At home we opt for reusable cloth hankerchiefs. They are soft, easy to clean, and easy to always keep on hand when we need them.

We have been invited to a picnic and there is an … [Read more...]

She was primarily concerned about storing leftovers in the freezer. That is a great question … [Read more...]
