Power outages can be common in the winter months, with winter storms snapping trees and taking down power lines. In case of a long-term outage, one way to save the contents of your fridge is to empty it into a cooler and place it outdoors in the freezing temperatures. This will keep it frozen until the power is restored to your home.

Winter months stuck in your house can be miserable, so one easy way to jumpstart spring is to bring some fresh cuttings indoors. Instead of costly flowers from the supermarket that have been flown in from more tropical locales, just look in your own backyard. Evergreen sprigs and cuttings retain their color, are plentiful and last a long time in a simple arrangement.
