An Easy Weeknight Dinner

A warm, hearty meal cooked and on the table in under an hour?

Oh, yes!

Weeknights are busy. You rush from work to run errands before picking up the kids from school. They’re hungry from a long day and ask what’s for dinner.

When you arrive home, the kids pile out of the car, toss their backpacks into the hallway and start their homework. They ask how much TV and video game time they can have tonight as you slog inside after them.

Exhausted, you mutter a standard answer of “We’ll see” and stare into the kitchen. Nothing is chopped, cooked, baked or prepped. Maybe you should order in tonight…

Sound familiar?

Weeknight dinners don’t have to be stressful. With a few simple pantry staples, you can whip up a delicious two bean chili in under 60 minutes.

This thick, tummy-warming chili feeds a crowd and makes enough if your kid’s friends unexpectedly show up for dinner.

A comforting chili dinner is the perfect way to cap off any weeknight. Your family will love it!

The Right Way to Wash Wool

Spring is on the horizon. You can almost taste it through the recent rain and windy weather. The scales are beginning to tip and the upcoming forecast shows more sun than rain clouds.

Now is the time to use the remaining cold, rainy days to properly clean and store your winter clothes. For most of us, our wardrobe is cotton or polyester based. Wool is an underutilized winter fabric. Wool blankets are perfect for snuggling up by the fire and wool sweaters are a staple at the ski lodge. But when spring rolls around, wool is the last thing on your mind.

It’s time to pack up and store your winter clothes. Before doing so, you need to wash everything so it stays fresh during the off season. How do you go about washing a unique fabric such as wool?

Our Speed Queen laundry tip says it all. To refresh wool and retain the integrity of the fabric, put washable wool in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Lay flat to dry. And, you’re done! It really is that simple.

Where you wash your clothes is just as important as how you wash them. A Speed Queen washer is built to last longer and clean better. It spins each load as it drains, so no dirt is left behind on your laundry. Fresh and clean every time; Speed Queen has you covered.

It’s time to embrace spring! Wash your wool and store it. Warmer weather is on the way.

Are you prepared? Is your home ready for the holidays?

The couch is slightly slouchy and one of the table legs wobbles. Time for something new.

You need somewhere comfortable for all your guests to relax and for your family’s every day use. Nothing combines a casual, contemporary style with luxury like the Arlington power collection from Catnapper. Beautiful stitching will wow your guests.

Sleep Soundly...You Deserve It!

School has started. Let the chaos ensue! Homework, games and after-school activities -- all on top of your regular routine -- it’s exhausting for everyone. One of the most important things during the school year, and all year long, is a good night’s sleep. Your kids need sleep to rest their growing bodies and minds. You need sleep to re-energize. Sleep is the precious time when your body repairs and prepares for tomorrow.

The mattresses in your house are...OK. You know they were high quality when you bought them, but it’s been a decade or so. Time to upgrade because your family deserves the best.

You’ve heard of Certi-Pur Organic mattresses by Nature’s Spa. But what makes a mattress #organic? These environmentally conscious mattresses are made from natural latex and instantly conform to the shape of your body. You won’t toss and turn trying to get into the perfect position. Once you hit the bed, your new mattress will gently cradle you to sleep. The foam and latex mattress provides more support and pressure relief than a conventional foam mattress. You won’t have that feeling of falling into a sinkhole when you climb into bed.

Don’t gamble on sleep with an old mattress. Upgrade to a supportive, breathable mattress for every bed in your home. A Certi-Pur Organic mattress wins every time.
