I hate when I have to spend money out of my established budget. Two weeks ago it was my desktop screen, today it was the kitchen faucet.
Let’s face it, that faucet is the original one, meaning it has 10 years and during those years we never had problems with it. A few weeks ago it started dripping water each time we used it and now it was already pouring water.
My husband just left to go looking for some Moen kitchen faucets at a local store. I hope it’s not very …

One of the things I would like to have on my backyard is a greenhouse. Having plants and vegetables all over the year would be great. With a greenhouse, plants can grow larger and quicker than the ones with common gardening.

They produced plastic products like basins, dish drainers, flower pots, buckets, garbage bins, etc. and sometimes, the products with less quality, were thrown in the recycling area so we were authorized to bring some of them home. And I brought some too much in fact and most of them were never used because I just …

This is a recycle bin made of recycled materials. Gianluca Soldi, an Italian architect, designed this beautiful and fashionable recycle bin which is build with polypropylene, a reused material. This product can match any decoration and its three recipients are excellent to separate the materials you are recycling. Totally awesome.
Stay tuned for more “Eco Findings”.

One of the things I always do is reusing the things I have at home. This week I took some time to organize my kids closets and remove all the clothes that are already too small for them. I managed to arrange 9 bags of clothes!

Why my kids have so many clothes?
