If your home is anything like mine, we don’t use our front door much. More times than not, we come and go through the garage door, even when not using a vehicle. Inevitably, the door gets left open, creating an ideal habitat for many friendly (and not so friendly) woodland creatures. This doesn’t happen much

I love beautiful writing implements, and I’ve collected a few over the years. I’ve sadly lost a couple over the years, too. There are a variety of Bluetooth trackers on the market these days to help you keep up with your valuables, but you can’t exactly hang a fob on your ballpoint pen. But now,

Every once in a while, a gadget comes along that, at first glance at least, appears to be basically superfluous and unnecessary…but cool and fun, nonetheless.

Have you seen those HGTV home-decorating shows where one person in the couple refuses to have a TV in the living room or even in the family room? I’ve never understood that mentality. I love my TV, and I want to have it in the room with comfy chairs so I can be comfortable watching
