A Year In Review – Reader’s Picks<\/h3>\n

Running a Household began by offering articles in three main areas: Maintenance, Meals and Money.\u00a0 From there, we added sections for Organization, Small Spaces, Time Management and What’s\u00a0Blooming –\u00a0a monthly calendar to show you what\u2019s growing each month.<\/p>\n

During our second year, we added Health and Wedding categories.\u00a0 We also joined Twitter, Instagram, Google + and Pinterest, so be sure to follow us.<\/p>\n
