Being a firefighter, I know what fire can do. It destroys homes and lives in a matter of minutes. A small fire can get out of hand in a hurry. I came across a new product that I think every household should have. It is a simple concept. It's a fire blanket. Fire blankets have been around for a long time, but the old ones were made out of wool and simply did not hold up. The one I am reviewi...

If you have pet odor problems, you've probably tried a lot of products to make your home smell better.  If your experience is like mine, most of them either don't work or smell worse than the original odor.  The Pet Odor Exterminator Candle is the exception to this.  It smells wonderful, but it's still powerful enough to do the job.Of course, the Pet Odor Exterminator...

I have tried various Mrs. Freshley products and for the most part have liked them.   Buddy Bars are OK, but not my favorite.These bars are peanut butter wafers coated in chocolate.  Sounds good, right?  Well, they aren't horrible, but I don't care for them as much as some of the other products put out by this company.  The bars are somewhat bland to my taste bud...

My friends and I could not figure out what wa...
