Readers, I need your help.
Yes, I know that when prescribed antibiotics, one should always finish the prescription. There really shouldn’t be any leftover pills.
Ok. Fine. But sometimes there are.
Numerous medical sites including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC, say, oh yes! For the safety of your family, get rid of them! Don’t reuse! […]

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.
Goodwill and the Salvation Army are always options for your someday-vintage goods. But some thrift stores are […]

Ambitious title, I know.

Um, I’m not sure.
I mean, I’ve spent the week in humid 90+ degree weather at the beach and I’m not burned so in one sense, its fine. I’m just not sure it’s as green as I thought it was.
Confession: I think even the greenest among us are a little hesitant to put our full faith […]
