While all wheelbarrows have a similar design, we looked at the following characteristics when choosing the best wheelbarrows for our list: tray material, wheel type, weight, volume capacity, storage features, and more. “Ease of use is one of the most important factors to consider when selecting a wheelbarrow,” said Beverly Shaw, a Colorado-based Master Gardener. “It needs to feel comfortable to you. Just like Goldilocks, you need to find one that’s just right....
No matter which candles you choose, take the time to reflect on the meaning of Hanukkah as you light them with your family this season.
I’ve since painted countless rooms in apartments, movie sets, and even the homes of friends who are too scared to take the DIY plunge themselves. I’ve also interviewed professional painters for DIY and home design articles throughout my career, and they all have one common piece of advice: Always use Frogtape painters tape. A good painter (professional or not) knows the importance of adequately prepping a room before beginning a project....

You may have heard the holiday referred to as the Chinese New Year, and the Lunar New Year is the same thing—but the term is more inclusive. The Chinese New Year specifically applies to Chinese people and celebrations held in China. But because the same holiday is celebrated in many different countries, it’s more inclusive to use the term Lunar New Year, so you don’t exclude any populations who participate....

Looking back to my years living in London for inspiration, I made a mood board to capture the collected-over-time style of old country houses there. This process helped me visualize which elements looked best together. I landed on Serena & Lily’s Priano wallpaper to set the bucolic tone I was after. An aged look unites the elements. I quadrupled my storage with Paces custom cabinetry in a soothing, faded Cool Grey from The Home Depot’s Cabinet Makeover program....
“Having four kids drove how we laid out the house,” says Kacy—mom to Clara, Elliot, Kate, and Cove. “We live in a neighborhood where kids ride their bikes everywhere; people just stop in. There are always at least an extra four kids around. We wouldn’t have it any other way.” To beautifully contain the chaos, architect Christy Blumenfeld and designer Shelby Wagner created a new house with lifestyle-centric rooms that meld comfort with classic style—and pop in just the right amount of youthful energy....
When they finally tore into things, they started in the backyard. A covered patio functions as a sun-shielded living area and shelters their only dining table. A tiny prefab outbuilding gave them a guest bedroom. The backyard reno inspired the light, bright interior, where new windows and glass doors create a happy marriage between both worlds. Black paint gives the house a modern aspect. Scott jokes that the family lives in an Oreo because it’s white on the inside and black on the outside....
The couple were looking to move from the suburbs to downtown when a friend bought and renovated a house on Benefit Street. “Mary went over to look at it and was like, ‘Oh, my God!’ It was incredible,” Dan says. “When the house next door came on the market, we snapped it up.” Their house, built in 1864, was listed in the 1947 Green Book as a beauty parlor friendly to Black travelers....
The celebrations start with National Bubble Wrap Day (an entire day dedicated to popping those addictive little bubbles!) and Epiphany, which is actually the day you’re supposed to take your Christmas tree down. Plenty of tasty holidays are scattered through the month as well, with National Popcorn Day and National Cheese Lovers Day. January might also be the sweetest month with holidays like National Blonde Brownie Day on the 22nd, immediately followed by National Pie Day on the 23rd....

Step 1: Choose Your Cheese A great grilled cheese sandwich starts with the cheese. Choose one or two cheeses (or more!) that’s good for melting. Our favorites include American, brie, cheddar, Gouda, Havarti, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, Muenster, provolone, smoked cheddar, Swiss, and white cheddar. Step 2: Choose Your Bread White, wheat, rye, pumpernickel—sliced bread is your base for making grilled cheese sandwiches. If you’re slicing your bread, make it about ½-inch thick....
Make Small Servings Our apple butter-glazed ham recipe serves 4 and is a delicious alternative to the 10-pound ham you might be used to making. Can’t find ham? Substitute with a new take on pork (our herb-rubbed pork is insanely good) or dress up a plain chicken by making lemon thyme rotisserie chicken in the air fryer. Put Leftovers to Good Use Eliminating food waste is at the top of our list this holiday....
Our Favorite Alternative to Toothpicks If you’re in the middle of making, say, your best-ever chocolate cake and you don’t have a toothpick to check cake doneness, a thin, sharp knife is our Test Kitchen’s favorite workaround. Look at your knife set and find the one with the thinnest blade. Then insert the blade into the center of the cake. If the knife comes out clean, the cake is done. If batter or crumbs stick to the blade, let your cake bake a few minutes more and retest with a clean knife....

Easy Cake Mix Upgrade I used a French vanilla cake mix to make cupcakes, but you can use any flavor and size you want. I assume gluten-free mixes would work well here, too if you have allergy restrictions. Basically you’ll follow the directions on the box replacing the 1 cup of water with milk, adding two extra eggs, and swapping the ⅓ cup oil for double the amount of melted butter....
