Short distances on a map can turn into long hours in a car. Break long drives into multiple days if possible. If you must do a long stretch in one day, plan in plenty of time to relax at the hotel. Don't plan too much after a long day on the road.

Before your spring plantings fill out, check around your home's foundation for possible cracks where insects can get in. Clean and caulk any small cracks you find. For larger cracks, you may want to call in a foundation expert for a professional evaluation.
Haven't checked your gutters? As the old mantra goes, "April showers bring May flowers." We're halfway through the month. Get out that ladder now!
Bananas at a big box store often come in large amounts. Just when they begin to lose their green, wrap your extra bananas separately in paper towels and store them in your crisper. The outside may turn, but the inside will remain fresher longer.
It can feel like a battle to rid your spring lawn of those pesky insects (like Japanese beetles). Look for dead or spongy places in your lawn and add an organic spray from your garden store. Hint: if you have chickens, before you spray, let them loose (with supervision). They love grubs and such and may give you a head start on your insect problem!
