By Tiffany Leave a Comment

When cold weather shows up and decides to stay that is when my cold weather to-do list starts being made. I have quite a bit I need to get done each year and making sure it all gets done is extremely important for a variety of reasons. Everything on my cold weather home preparation list ensures that our home is a safe, warm, affordable, reliable, energy efficient, and healthy place to be for the winter months.

The Shower Bucket – 9 Ways to Save Water

By Tiffany 7 Comments

One the the easiest places we can conserve water is in the bathroom. It only makes sense because we use lots of water there too. Baths, showers, washing faces, brushing teeth, flushing waste...we use lots of water in the loo.

Summer Home Maintenance Tips

By Tiffany 3 Comments

The weather in Ohio has been a little crazy lately. We have been alternating between rainy and cool, hot and humid, or just plain hot, hot, hot. Some days the A/C is running and some days not.

It is a constant summer pass time...trying to keep the house comfortable without using the A/C too much and … [Read more...]

Gardening in June: Blackberries, Jalapenos, and Bell Peppers

By Tiffany Leave a Comment

June has been an exciting gardening month for me. It is a daily joy to go outside and see how things are growing and changing. Unless of course I go outside and see that squirrels have been eating my bell pepper plants, then I just want to go outside with a .22 and maybe have some squirrel stew for dinner. In lieu of that I have been making sure to spray them with an oil/cayenne pepper mixture and so far that seems to be working. I have already lost 4 of my 6 original bell pepper plants though. … [Read more...]
