While we all know that an old door or ill-fitting window can create a draft and allow cold air to waft into your home, you may not realize there are other sources of heat loss. When it's cold outside, remember that a door mail slot or a doggy door can act like a small window left open to the outdoor elements. Take the time to make sure they are completely shut. Even using an old wool blanket to cover the slot or door is enough to make a significant insulating difference.

Here's a simple way to help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer: Check your ductwork. Many newer homes have ductwork with dampers that are adjustable, and when they are installed, they are often marked with two words: summer and winter. Shifting the switch to the right season will ensure that the air flow in your home is maximized to direct either warm or cool air into the rooms where you need it most.

Did you know nearly 2 billion plastic gift cards are purchased every year and given away as gifts? While they're a convenient and useful gift for many people to choose exactly what they need, you might wonder: Are these cards recyclable? While the PVC plastic is technically recyclable, it's hard to find a recycler to turn old cards into new products. So do this instead: When you receive a card and use it, save it and reload it to give to someone else in the future. Most gift cards are reusable and reloadable.
