Spring is here… Time to clean!
Household cleaning products may contain harmful chemicals that are toxic to humans, animals, plants, and the environment. A green household should have these natural products on hand — baking soda, borax, distilled white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, olive oil, vegetable-based liquid castille soap, and washing soda. Howdini.com demonstrates some uses of these ingredients and suggests natural substitutes for traditional cleaners. For those who don’t have the time or desire to become mixologists, environmentally friendly products are available for purchase.
Gardening in small spaces
Whether you have a plot of land or a balcony, the possibilities for planting herbs, vegetables, and flowers are unlimited. Just about any plant that grows in the earth can be cultivated in a pot. This Lowe’s video debunks the myth that small spaces constrain gardening. Think outside the box — containers, hanging baskets, raised beds, and vertical planting — and let your corner of paradise flourish this spring.
Tax Time is Here
Around this time of year, tax forms for 2011 are trickling home through the mail.

For households that run a small business, it’s important to find an accountant who stays up to date on tax laws pertaining to your specific industry.
