Those Kicks Aren’t Done Kicking - Reuse Those Shoes!

Closet organizers, de-clutter coaches and even fashionistas recommend that the best wardrobes are well-kept ones - ones which find room for new items by getting rid of ones that have overstayed their welcome. New item in; old item out.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

More and more Americans are turning over their soil, planting a garden for the first time, resurrecting garden patches from summers past, taking advantage of their city’s community garden plots, literally putting the “local” in “eat locally” as close to their back doors as possible.
