No Bake Cookies
This family favorite is a staple in the Leeson household! Ben’s mother’s memory lives on with these cookies. The Leeson family calls these “Summertime” cookies! Our grandchildren call them brown cookies. : ) They ask grandpa (Ben) to make them on most visits…& he always obliges! He has made them so often that he has memorized this simple no bake recipe! It is perfect for this time of year because you do not need to heat up the house with the oven. They are made on the stovetop.

Spring has Sprung…now what??
Spring is finally here and many of us are ready to experience the warmer weather and everything that comes with it. But don’t let the rising temperatures cause your family to spend more money on utility bills.
Check out these five tips and see how we can help you enjoy the season and the savings, a benefit for you and the planet.
Change Your Air Filter: 
One of the easiest things you can do to get your home ready for the spring season is to check the status of your HVAC air filter. Filters should be checked every month, and changed at least every three months, or whenever the filter looks dirty. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you cool—wasting energy.

Get an HVAC Tune-Up:Just as a tune-up of your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your cooling equipment can improve efficiency and comfort. The contractor will inspect refrigerant levels, clean and adjust blower components, and clean evaporator and condenser air conditioning coils. Learn more here.
HVAC Equipment Replacement:
If your cooling equipment is more than 10 years old or needs frequent repairs, it may be time to consider a replacement. Up to date equipment could provide dramatic savings compared to a unit installed 10 or even 5 years ago. Got Allergies?
Room air purifiers—sometimes referred to as “room air cleaners”—are portable, electric appliances that remove fine particles, such as dust and pollen, from indoor air, so you can say goodbye to sneezes and sniffles! Spring is a perfect time to invest in a room air cleaner.
Pool Pumps:Did you know? Your pool pump could be your home’s second largest energy user, costing you as much as $720 in utility bills every year. Updated pool pumps use up to 65% less energy than standard pool pumps and can save up to $450 a year in energy bill costs.
