Mrs. Grossman’s
Andrea Grossman is the essence of a trendsetter. In the ’80s when people were starting typical businesses, Mrs. Grossman ventured into a new arena, stuffed stickers! Grossman began making stickers after she opened her business, designing paper and stationary goods, and received an order for stick on hearts. Because most ladies love hearts, this seemed like a simple order, however Grossman had difficulty filling the order because there were not any suppliers making hearts. So Grossman was forced to make them herself and her customers loved them. This lead to a sticker craze and Mrs.
Grossman’s career has skyrocketed since! Her empire has expanded to include coloring books, scrapbook albums and more stickers for every holiday. This stickler of a sticker maverick even makes stickers of animals to remind us how cute our furry friends really are!

Hardwood Floors and Pets
Impossible right? It is frequently thought that it is not a wise idea to have hardwood floors if you have pets. However, according to the American Hardwood Information Center this is a common misconception, “… you can have the beauty and warmth of hardwood floors in a home with active pets.” In fact, they say that hardwood floors are a better choice over carpets when you do have pets. Unlike carpets, wood floors do not shelter allergens such as animal dander, fleas, ticks, etc. In addition, hardwood floors can take much more wear and tear than carpets. If a carpet is stained there is slim hope of getting it out, but that’s not the case with hardwood. An oil-based polyurethane finish is applied as a safe and durable protection. And if the wood does stain the American Hardwood Information Center can give you various suggestions of how you can remove it. Pets also seem to prefer hardwood floors because they are natural insulators, meaning they keep cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. So no matter whether your pet walks, hops, crawls or flies, let them move free on a beautiful hard wood floor.
