Bottle Shock: A seltzer maker could help you cut down on the number of bottles you recycle. Friday is recycling-pickup day in my northern New Jersey hometown. Week after week we schlep to the curb bins filled with the usual assortment of recyclables produced by a 21st-century American family: newspapers and magazine; empty food containers (human and canine) and wine bottles; shredded credit-card offers, bills, and other household papers; corrugated cardboard and packaging materials; etc.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Snapfish Photo Jewelry (w. giveaway)

My main concern was that the photos would be too small or the pictures would fall out but neither were an issue
