Have you ever wondered why folks sprinkle deviled eggs with paprika, why anyone even bothers? The taste is always the same: tastes like eggs with bland red stuff on it. Maybe it’s for the color pop.

When we were brand new home owners, we were given all kinds of advice on products that would come in handy over the years. One of the best products anyone ever pointed us towards, one that I buy in gallon jugs because it’s. that. amazing., is Krud Kutter. ~ A gentle reminder: OMT! uses Amazon …
Big Wheel Keeps On Rolling When we were kids, my baby brother, who came 10-years behind me, had a Big Wheel. It was a much coveted possession and one that almost every kid in the neighborhood took a turn on, no matter how old we were. When Boy was old enough for one, he had …
