It’s crazy how many old cell phones and chargers most people have sitting around the house. I have a huge drawer in my office filled with nothing but cell phones and phone accessories. There must be at least six – and a couple of chargers for each of them. And a car charger or two. And some old PDA’s, too, now that I’m thinking about it. I’d love to get rid of all that stuff – but I never really had a clue of what to do with all of it. It’s not like I’m going to toss a bunch of cell phones in the garbage can.
Did you know you can drop all your old cell phones, pagers, PDAs, chargers and other communications accessories at any Staples
store? They’ll recycle them and better still, they’ll donate a portion of proceeds to the Sierra Club
.
Clean your house – help green the planet! How great is that!

With the weather outside SO frightful all over the country – we’re all thinking about keeping the air in our home warm. We’ve all got our windows and doors sealed up tight to keep the cold air out. Yes, indeed, ’tis the season to stay warm. But it’s also the season to think about keeping the air in our homes and offices clean and free of dust, germs and allergens. Time to change those furnace filters. Time to clean the fans. And time to be thinking about an air purifier.
From now until 12/31/2008, save 75% off 5 of the top selling air purifiers from Overstock.com 
. Orders over $100 always ship for free and there’s always loads of top products on sale or closeout.

By the way – with the heat comes dry indoor air that can be tough of your eyes and sinuses. This is a good time of year to think about a new humidifier – you’d be surprised how much more comfortable your home can be. And with a higher humidity level, the same ambient temperature feels warmer to the body. This means that a 72% degree room will feel warmer if the air contains more moisture.
Thought you’d want to know.

If the weather outside is frightful – as it is – and you’re spending a lot of time at home – as we all are – you might as well take advantage. One of my favorite things to do this time of year – in between all the holiday festivities…
I like to clean my closets. I like to get organized. Get rid of the things I don’t use, want or need. It’s my way of getting a head start on a positive new year.
The folks at The Container Store totally understand that mindset. And that’s why they’re having their huge elfa® sale right now.
From now through 1/31/2009 save 50% off select elfa components at The Container Store. No coupon code required. If you are reading this post after this offer has expired, click here for updated information.

Start laying in your supplies early. Between the holidays falling mid-week and the terrible weather just about everywhere – don’t go out for your groceries and other household essentials – have them brought to you.
Depending on where you live, you probably have a variety of choices for delivery. Check it out – if you’re a home grocery delivery novice, you can even usually save some money on your first order.
And if you’ve experienced the wonder of grocery delivery services before, then you know first hand how wonderful it is to have everything delivered right to your kitchen counter! Grocery delivery is an especially good idea for anything big, bulky and heavy. From soda and mixers to cleaning supplies and laundry detergent – you don’t even need to bring it in from the car. You don’t need to do a thing.
To be honest, I was dubious in the beginning and tended to order only pre-packaged food items. I live in a Peapod 
service area and I’ve got to tell you that once I tried ordering produce and other fresh items, I was hooked. I’m picky and even the tomotoes and peaches were just as good if not better than those I would have selected myself. I’ve even ordered fresh meat and fish and been happy every single time.
So stay home, log on, pick your delivery time and load up your shopping cart. I like to schedule an early morning delivery, around the time I’m about to pour my second cup of coffee. That way – by the time I’ve finished my second cup, everything is put away and what would have been a two-hour marathon trip to the supermarket is already off my list for the day!
Love that!

I admit it. I’m done with my CD’s. It’s just too much work. I have my music on my iPod and iPhone. I have a docking station and I can also hook either device directly to the stereo at home or in my car. I haven’t listened to a CD in months. In fact, the only time I touch any of my CD’s is when I want to import them into iTunes or lend them to a friend who wants to the same. I’m over it. I don’t need them anymore. I’m done.
And now that I’m ready to let go…. Wanna know what I’m going to do next? I’m going to clean house and clean up. I’m going to sell all my old and unwanted CD’s. I plan on translating the cash I get into downloads of songs and albums I’ve always wanted. Less clutter and more music. What could be better?

Even though it’s colder than cold outside, it is late February and spring is just around the corner. And with spring comes the inevitable spring cleaning. And the best way to get a jump start on that spring cleaning? With a bit of de-cluttering. Start small, one closet, or one area or room at a time. Toss things that need to go. If you’ve got anything of value that you don’t want anymore you can give it to a friend or family member or donate it to charity.
Once you’ve gotten what you don’t want out of a space, start cleaning and organizing what’s left. Work slowly, area by area. That way, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed and quit before you’ve finished. I also like the ‘geographical’ approach to cleaning and organizing because it’s easy to see the fruits of all that hard labor as you progress.
As you work through your home, make note of all those little things that need attention and repair. Cracked outlet plates. Hardware, handles and hinges that need replacement. Indicator bulbs. Doors that don’t quite close properly. You get the idea.
But first things first. Start with a little bit of de-cluttering. And take the rest one small step at a time.

With winter in full swing, we’ve all got the windows closed up tight. Maybe even some storm windows and weather proofing to keep things sealed against the cold air. The problem is – without those leaks there’s no fresh air. Whatever’s in the air is just going to stay there. For months. Dust, allergens and who knows what else can just circulate through the house and stay there – until spring. Uck! And we’ll just keep breathing it in and out. And that’s not the only problem. Indoor winter air can be so dry – and drying. Lack of proper humidity can cause all knds of winter discomforts including dry and itchy skin, sinus problems including bloody noses, difficulty sleeping and even chapped lips.
Now’s a good time to think about getting an air purifier, filter and/or humidifier. Improving your home indoor air quality can only help you enjoy a healthier and more comfortable 2008.

It’s time for yard and garden clean-up! And it seems like raking the leaves is just the beginning. Pruning, mulching, feeding. Plants to re-pot for a winter indoors. And all those things that won’t be used until spring need to be cleaned and stored away in the garage or basement. I’m exhausted just thinking about it and of course, there’s the supplies. From leaf shredders, blowers and burlap wraps to garage organization and storage solutions. Gardener’s Supply has all the supplies, tools and timesaving solutions you could possibly need for the annual ritual. And to honor the fall clean up season – they’ve even issued a 10% off coupon.

We’ve all got one of those lists. Not a grocery list or a ‘to do list’. It’s a really annoying list of items each of which might on its own require a trip to a different store. Mine is getting a bit out of control. I need to replace one of the timers for my garden lights. Plus I need a few new spot lights to highlight my three new trees. The universal control for my bedroom TV/cable/DVD etc is dead as a doornail and need to be replaced. I also need a battery for the smoke detector that is integrated into my burglar alarm. It’s a weird one and I always wind up having to make a special trip to Radio Shack to find it. I also need to track down two replacement dimmer switches for a bank of eight identical switches is a row in my living room. The switches are about 10 years old but they were extremely expensive and I don’t want to replace all of them so I need replacements. I also need to find some rather hard to find bulbs for some low voltage task lighting in my kitchen. And, of course, I’m searching for ANYTHING that will help me keep the squirrels from digging up and snacking on my bulbs! I hate all of these errands. It’s the kind of stuff that can consume an entire morning without any success at all.
My plan was always to take a first stop over to Smarthome
. With any luck I’ll be able to get almost everything on my list without going to one bricks and mortar store. I don’t know why I had been putting it off, but I’m glad I did.
