Tips and Information on...everything!
Like most folks these days, your family probably receives a regular stream of package deliveries that are left on your front porch by the delivery drivers.
If you happen to be at home when a package arrives you can quickly retrieve it from the porch, removing it from view of the street.
But if you can’t be there for some reason that package will likely sit on your front porch flashing a virtual neon “steal me” sign to any porch pirates that happen to working your neighborhood.
Do you own a car that’s more than a couple of years old?
If so, chances are you’ll have to replace the battery with a new one in the not-so-distant future.
When that time comes you’ll have to make some decisions when choosing a replacement battery.
One of those decisions is the type of warranty coverage you want to have on the new battery.
Well, we’re now smack in the midst of summer, and it sure is turning out to be a scorcher here in my neck of the woods!
If it’s super-hot where you live too you probably feel blessed to have an air conditioner (AC) in your car.
However, if your car’s AC isn’t really cooling as it should you’re likely gonna be in for a long, miserable summer.

Question from Jessie M.: My husband and I have been recycling for years by sorting our recyclable items into separate bins and taking them to the recycling center at the county landfill.
My husband took a load off this morning but they told him they’re no longer accepting recyclable items because research has shown that the benefits of recycling aren’t worth the effort.
They ended up throwing our recyclable items into the dumpster along with the regular garbage!
We can still take our recyclable materials to a local private recycling center, but they don’t accept plastics (which is what we usually have the most of).
What’s the real story on this? Is it worthwhile to recycle or not?

Now that we’re in the midst of summer it’s a perfect time to treat your kids (and yourself!) to some delicious frozen treats.
And what could be better on a hot summer day than a variety of fruity (and healthy) homemade frozen popsicles!
Surprisingly, popsicles are one of the easiest treats you can make at home.
