It's not often that I have top-secret papers that need to be shredded, but it happens occasionally. I can't justify cluttering up my house with a clunky shredder, or spending the dollars on something I rarely use. I would, however, throw down for a pair of The Container Store Stainless Steel Shredding Scissors ($8.99). For that periodic confidential envelope, or when I want to make confetti or Read more

Kitchen Shears: Love It or Hate It?

I'm a huge fan of kitchen shears. I use them to snip herbs, cut chicken into chunks, and open cheese and prosciutto packages. I find them very handy and employ them on a regular basis. When I asked YumSugar if she loved her shears as much as I love mine, she said, "I don't have them and don't get the point of them." Now I'm asking you: Do you have kitchen shears? Are they an essential tool in Read more

Tape to Eliminate Scratchy Kids Clothing

Since my 1-year-old daughter is, number one, obsessed with any and all clothing (lately, when she's fussy, I just take her to her closet and show her all of her dresses. Works every time, and yes, I'm already terrified of her teenage years) and, number two, can't really talk, I don't have to worry about scratchy clothes. But my mom friends warn me that soon a single irritating tab, seam, or Read more
