the savvy shopper

By Barbara Schwenk on 8.31.2009

Tonight, Heiko and I were going to have dinner out just the two of us. I wanted to make a quick stop at Super Target to grab a few things first. I had some coupons that were about to expire I wanted to use.

time to recycle - with staples

By Barbara Schwenk on 8.29.2009

It's the end of the month and it's time to take your used ink cartridges to Staples to recycle. Staples gives you $3 in Staples Rewards for every ink cartridge you recycle with them up to 10 per month. Just another way to go green and earn some extra money.

old wives tale - the pencil

By Barbara Schwenk on 8.25.2009

Use the same pencil for taking a test that you used for studying for the same test. The pencil remembers the answers.

a different kind of creative

By Guest Contributor on 8.21.2009

I was raised by my Puerto Rican mother and some of my earliest memories are of her in the kitchen. I remember the sounds of pots and pans clanking around, the smell of garlic and onions cooking in olive oil, the look on her face as she stood over the stove. And when my family got together, there was always laughter and noise coming from the kitchen. I quickly made the connection: kitchen/cooking = family/love.
