Ever feel like you're carrying around a million keys that all look the same? Quickly tell them apart with DIY key toppers made with small baubles and custom-hued Plasti Dip.

I was recently repotting some plants with my mom, and she passed along a useful tip: save your old broken or chipped terracotta pots. You can break them into smaller pieces and use them for drainage at the bottom of a new pot. You'll be diverting broken pots from a landfill, and terracotta is relatively light, so it will not add much weight.

I love thinking about the things we take for granted in our homes, and let's face it, even though our homes wouldn't be the same without water, heat, electricity, gas, and garbage pickup, we probably don't think much about the history behind all these utilities.

Some of you may remember my post about how to talk to kids about moving, and how to ease their transition into a new home. As a child who was moved every two to three years, this post was taken directly from my own experiences, and I was so happy to hear all of your personal stories and tips as well. Moving a lot and being able to pack up your life on short notice goes hand-in-hand with living minimally, or living "small." 

We got the dreaded note last week informing us that our son has a classmate with head lice. Of all highly contagious childhood maladies, few are skeevier. Lice don't last long without feeding on a host (your head), but the more heads in your house, the higher the chances of lice making themselves comfortable in your home. So what do you do?

Have you ever forgotten the name of a prescription? What about the measurements of your air filter? Thanks to the ubiquitous nature of smartphone cameras, it's now possible to carry around your entire life (well, at least a 2-D version) in the palm of your hand.
