DIY Window Catio

By Jess (TF Editor)

Koneko enjoying her catio.We recently adopted a stray feral kitten. Koneko. She cannot be allowed outdoors yet but we wanted her to have some access to fresh air and outdoor views. So we built this enclosure for my son's bedroom. I called this an outdoor pet run until I ran into the term "catio" or cat patio.

Add Cuteness to your Planter

By 15mhhm15

Two large googly eyes adhered to the side of a potted houseplant.On my free time, I like to browse around sites that have unique style but not necessarily purchase from because they're quite pricey. I came across this Henry Googly Eye Planter on Urban Outfitters and thought to myself, that'll be cute to add some cuteness to my planters! Plus, my kids have a bunch of those goggly eyes laying around.

Keep Kindle Magnetic Clasp from Covering Text

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

A Kindle with some of the screen covered by the clasp.I read almost all my books on my Kindle Fire. I love how I can save space in my tiny apartment and enlarge the print size, scroll back and forth, etc. What I hated was the little stand clasp would fold forward and cover up some of the first line.

Tangy Skillet Pork Loin Chops

By attosa

Pork Loin Chops on plateHere's a pretty simple way to make pork loin chops with a beautiful tangy pan sauce. Even though these cuts are rather lean, you can get them to be very tender and juicy using this method. These chops pair very well with roast veggies, mashed potatoes, and rice pilafs. Leftover, they're great fillings for sandwiches.

By Robyn

A metal table with plants on it.I have this welding table outdoors because there is no room for it indoors. It was my dad's so I like to keep it. I decided to put all my sprouting plant cuttings on this welding table, and there is still tons of room for more plants ;)
