The hip clip water bottle holder is a great invention! Now I can walk around without having to carry my water bottle in my hand.  It's especially great at the fair so I have my hands free to grab a snack or to play a game.  What's even better is that I can wear 2 hip clips and carry around my kid's water bottle too!My bike doesn't have a water bottle cage anymore so I ...

I love ice cream, but I always have such a hard time trying to find a good flavor combo to buy at the store.  I didn't really want to buy an ice cream machine because my apartment is tiny and has very little counter space.  Then I saw the ice cream ball on HGTV and thought "that'd be so great!".  I looked up the balls online and All Things Ice Cream had the lowe...

There's always a risk when you adopt a pet from a shelter.  Obviously their previous owner wants to promote their pet in a good light for its next owner, so they leave out some negatives.This was the case with our new family addition, Honey, a beautiful 6 year old calico. On her "background" paperwork the previous owner put that her only negative quality was that she jumped o...

The worst part about decorating for any holiday is the moment you have to take everything down and store it for next year.  You know your lights are going to be tangled no matter how neatly you coiled it around your arm when you took it down.  You need something to hold them in place. Twist ties just won't do. That's where Cable Clamps come in handy!  They come in ma...

I love soda, but its calories and sugar content are killing my diet.  I've tried many brands of diet sodas, but I am very turned off by the taste of aspartame and even Splenda.Then I found out about stevia -- an herb native to South and Central America. For centuries, indigenous people of Paraguay and Brazil called it "sweet leaf" and used it to sweeten foods. The extract fro...

Itti Bitz are not a new concept.  There has been talk of flash frozen ice cream balls for a long time.  But when my local Hannaford put up a sign that said "New" next to them, I couldn't resist!I chose the banana split flavor, and it was definitely a good choice!  It really did taste like bananas and chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream.  The balls are b...

This calendar was the top selling black and white calendar in 2007 and I am not at all surprised!My coworker gave me this calendar as a Christmas gift this past year.  As a true fan of cats and cats doing funny things, this calendar was the best present ever!  Each day at work I am greeted by another amusing cat photo and caption.  It helps me to start my day off with a giggle or...

It seems like everyone and their brother is making an online store these days.  While there are several good (free) shopping carts out there on the market, Volusion has taken the cake for me in the paid realm.Volusion offers several levels of shopping cart capacity from 100 products to unlimited.  They also offer a very comprehensive back-end with which to configure your store.  ...

Oh no, your stomach is acting up again after lunch.  What should you do for relief?Chew up a Nu-Zymes Chewable Mint Chocolate wafer.Nu-Zymes chewables are a great way to get fast digestive relief.  As a chronic digestive issue sufferer, these chewable wafers have become my new friend.  They are mint chocolate flavored so they are easier to get down than other bland digestive prod...

Don't waste your money on Drain-O or any of its similar counterparts if your drains are slowing down.  Not only do they require you to use almost a whole bottle per "cleaning", but they are so bad for the environment.  Instead you should grab yourself a handy long strip of plastic with barbs on the sides -- the Zip It.  I found mine at Walmart and it was only $3.&nb...
