Silly Putty was a fun item to play with as a child because it could be stretched, pulled and molded into almost any shape and still retain its elasticity. Another practical way to use Silly Putty is to clean in between the keys of your computer's keyboard. Just press it on top of the keyboard and let it grip onto the dust, dirt and debris inside and lift back up.

The winter months are a good time to assess where the sun is shining on your home; any trees in your yard are likely free of leaves -- especially if you live in cold climates. This can help you figure out where you'd like to plant new trees in the spring, which can help shade your home and reduce your cooling costs during the hot summer months.
