Are you a bit of a wine connoisseur? Even if you’re just a casual fan of wine, it’s easy to see why wine is so great to keep around. Having a nice glass of wine after a long week of work feels fantastic. If you buy wine that comes corked, you’ll need a corkscrew to …
People use twine for all sorts of purposes and you likely have some in your home somewhere. Some people use twine in the kitchen, but it’s also commonly used in the garden. It can be very handy to have twine around because of how it can be used for multiple purposes. If you’re someone who …
As I write this, my wife and I are currently dealing with a minor fruit fly problem in our kitchen. We only have a few of them and know what to do to get rid of them, but it’s still a nuisance. Unfortunately, your kitchen isn’t the only place that you may encounter fruit flies. …
In a previous post, I discussed whether or not dryer sheets are even necessary, and while they do have some drawbacks, there are plenty of benefits as well. If you happen to use them at home, like many of us do, you need to dispose of them somehow after they’ve been used. While most people …

A common question that used to be asked when going to the grocery store was “paper or plastic?” These days, at least in our area, most stores default to plastic. Most of us like to do what we can to cut down on the amount of waste that ends up in the landfill. So, can …
While it would be better for the environment if we all used fewer one-use items, there’s no denying the convenience of paper towels. Whether they’re for a large gathering where lots of people will need them, or you simply use them day-to-day for household messes, paper towels have become a go to item in most …
If you’re like my family, you go through your fair share of paper plates. As much as we’d like to help the environment by using only reusable dishware, sometimes it’s in our best interest to use something that requires very little cleanup. There’s also times where it just makes more sense to use paper, such …
Personally, I never have leftover pasta. However, if you made more than you and your family can handle (or it didn’t turn out as well as anticipated), you’re probably wondering what your options are for your leftovers.
