Got ants and you're looking for a natural form of pest control? Try measuring out a cup of popcorn kernels. Put them in a blender, on high speed for about 30 seconds, and you'll end up with a batch of fresh, homemade cornmeal. Just make a few piles around the ant trails and within a few days, your ant problems will, literally disappear.

Bring your home and your life outdoors by creating little living rooms on the lawn. Arrange seating as you would in a family room to encourage gathering for good conversation and relaxation. Use comfortable cushions and pillows covered in outdoor fabric liberally, and your outdoor spaces will become the most popular rooms in, and outside, the house.
