How It Started ARTICLE – Back in March of 2020 when Central Pennsylvania closed schools for two weeks in a “Stop the Spread” initiative, I wasn’t sure how long I’d have to work from home. I set up my own personal laptop — an aging 11” MacBook Air — and downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud and

REVIEW – It’s that time of year again. It’s cold at night, and the central heat is running more often than not. This means the air in our house is very dried out, and my skin tends to get irritated. One solution to this problem is to run a humidifier in the house, which I

ARTICLE – When my family started our work-from-home/school-from-home adventure, our set-up was loosey-goosey. My husband started in the already-established basement office but quickly found it too dark and depressing. So he moved to the sunroom.
