I received a Pfister Ashfield 1-Handle, Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet to test it in my own kitchen and collect information for this review. No monetary compensation was received and a positive review was not required. As with all Busy-at-Home reviews, the views and opinions expressed are wholly my own and based on my personal experience with the [...]
..I installed a new thermostat in our home, this week. Yup! All by myself! For all of you handy-type DIY people (I want to be you, by the way. :) ) that may not seem like a big deal, but for someone who feels pretty accomplished at something as simple as painting a room; tackling, [...]
Over the past two years, I have begun weeding out more and more of my expensive and toxic household cleaners and replacing them with homemade substitutes that work as well, or even better. You’ve all probably seen my homemade laundry detergent recipe (20.4¢ for homemade vs. $12-$14 retail) and I’ve recently added a homemade “shout” laundry stain remover [...]

I recently made each of our granddaughters adorable new “Twirly” Skirts with my new Brother CS6000i sewing machine and I wanted to do something for their hair that would match. I love all the flower hair clippies you see, around; so I decided to try and do something like that. I used fabric scraps left [...]
This is the post that never ends. It goes on and on my friends…. lol That’s the song that came to mind as I started editing pictures for this fabulous giveaway from Brother and my tutorial for “twirly” skirts and their matching flower hair clips. After whittling it down to 42 pictures and still having [...]
