I learned today that the banana is America’s number one fruit and they have no fat, cholesterol or sodium! My kids love bananas but because they’re available year around and they are affordable, we get bored eating them. Slicing them in cereal, … Read More...

Both my husband and daughter are allergic to dust mites. This means washings the bedding on a very regular basis to kill those nasty dust mites that cause them to sneeze, snore and sleep miserably! My new Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer makes this a … Read More...
