STP Multipurpose Motor Treatment Review #engineluv #CBias
This is a guest post by my husband, Craig, who takes care of our vehicles. I enjoy taking care of the basic maintenance needs for our vehicles – a 2005 Acura TSX and 2004 Toyota Tacoma. When I say ‘basic’ I mean the easy stuff like changing the oil, spark plugs, air filters, using a wireless ratchet like these to tighten the bolts and topping off fluids.

Buying a Cow (or part of one)
In February we are enjoying our One Small Change at dinner time, mostly. In January we purchased an eighth of a “locally grown” cow. Actually, the cow came from Southwest Missouri, just like our locally grown veggies. Funnily ironic. Anyhow, I was very excited when our friends Ashlee & Rodney offered us the opportunity to get a portion of a cow from their family’s cow. At first, I was concerned about how much space that much … Read entire article »

Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent
The One Small Change initiative is starting back up again. I’m very excited about this, as I’ve fallen off the horse a bit, and this will motivate me to get back to doing something “green” each month. I’m hoping to do a post to recap the “One Small Changes” we made in 2010, but in case I don’t get it done, here’s a link to all of the One Small Change Posts. I’d like to formally … Read entire article »
