My mother can’t figure out why my sister puts a new roll of toilet paper on top of the empty cardboard tube…she doesn’t understand why she refuses to put the new one on the holder and thinks it is one more thing she doesn’t get about...

I try to buy as much organic food as possible, but I never know which ones are the most and least important to buy in the organic variety. ConsumerReports has a great guide and the Environmental Working group has a produce shopping guide listing the fruits and...

I started writing this post three weeks ago, but never got around to finishing it…and then DailyCandy beat me to it! That will teach me, huh? When my nephew has a cold, my sister tries to keep his head elevated so he can breathe easier…everyone has helped...
