Ian is our "in house" Millennial.  He works on our sister station Mix108, and he's self admittedly not the handiest of guys.  Recently the Mix 108 vehicle had a burned out turn signal bulb.  We took the chance to show Ian how to do a simple vehicle repair such as this.  It wasn't simple enough.

My truck has got some wear on it.  110,000 miles and 8 years of Northland winters have done it's toll.  A common problem with these F-150's is paint peeling and flaking off around the gas cap.  A little bit of surface rust has formed and I'm doing my best to stop it.  So I found this Loctite Extend Rust Converter.  Let's see how it works.

My daughter has spent almost every 4th of July at the family's lake property with ALL her cousins and dad's family making memories and enjoying picnics, parades and fireworks.  They would often do a group art project that would allow them to make something they could wear to the parade.  This year you could do a whole ensemble with two DIY ideas!  It's easy, fun and you and your friends can match

My craft room looks like total chaos and one reason is that it's hard to get rid of anything, ANYTHING!  But, as I continue to do craft projects, I keep accumulating crafting supplies that I didn't use.  The Duluth Public Library had a great idea and turned it into an event that we can all benefit from.

My husband lost his father when he was 32 years old.  He has a few pictures, tools and lots of memories, but this Christmas his sister Lisa gave him a gift that showed her creative talents and will be cherished every Christmas for years to come.  Before you read further look closely at the pictures, can you tell what they're made from?

You've heard of those mock turtlenecks called a"dickey"? Well, these are my boot dickeys! My friend Coleen crocheted these darling boot cuffs for me and I LOVE THEM!  They are the only ones I own and I hate to ask her to make me more since I know her time is precious.  I have no idea how to crochet but went on a search to find a video on how to do it.  I think I've got it!

My family and I had to celebrate our Easter with dinner a little early due to work schedules (if you go out to eat on Easter Sunday, tip your waitstaff well).  After dinner, the kids and took five minutes to whip up some easy to make washcloth bunnies to be used as hostess gifts for friends and family that will be making our Easter dinner on Sunday.  Here are the instructions and our video (try no

It's not too soon to be thinking about Easter, April 20, it comes early this year. What will you do to make coloring eggs different, more challenging or eggs-citing? Ok, overused play on words, sorry.  How about tie-dyeing them?  It will be a little more work and could potentially be a bit more messy, but think of the memories you'll be making with your family!

My co-host Ken Hayes has a new baby girl in their household, Jane.  From experience, I know that most visitors to his home want to meet the new baby and hold her.  He also has a five year old and I was afraid he might be feeling left out.  Last night we went for a visit and I brought the materials needed for this easy DIY craft idea so just Zach and I could have some one-on-one time and he could m

I love DIY crafts, even though my craft skills resemble that of a 2nd grader.  It's fun to get a group of gals together and chat while being productive.  I've been following Alejandra and her organizational videos.  When I saw this simple yet darling craft she made, I had to share.  She mentions tie your gift cards to them so you're not just handing over an envelope.  Genius!

This blog was going to start out as a DIY legwarmers for humans, then I saw this picture and thought "why not" this would be just as easy to make for pets too.  You just need to use smaller sweater arms.  Now you can make em' for the whole family.
