By now you've likely heard some buzz about Community Supported Agriculture programs or CSA's. If you haven't, these are programs that deliver market baskets of locally grown produce on a weekly basis throughout a growing season. If you're a fruit and veggie lover, you may have even considered signing up. But you probably have a few unanswered questions, including what do you get for your money?

Why Join? In addition to getting convenient deliveries of delicious, local fruits and vegetables-think ripe tomatoes off the vine, juicy peaches that have never been refrigerated-you support your local farms and farmers.

How Do They Work? Typically, you pay a flat fee before the program begins. Each week you get a delivery brought either to your house or a nearby drop-off point. Usually, you can't choose what you receive. However, before you sign up you can request a list of what will be delivered each week to help you decide if the program

To be successful at any big undertaking - starting a new career, salvaging a shaky marriage, mastering a foreign language - you have to "give it 110 percent," as the saying goes. But when it comes to what may be the most important change of all - revitalizing your health - you may be better off giving only 10 percent and not worrying too much about the other proverbial 100.

Micro-improvements do more than chip away at a larger objective - they accomplish plenty on their own. Some of these are cumulative; do several and you'll see an even bigger benefit. Here are five small shifts that can reward you with a big health payoff.

1. Take Your Dog for a Walk
The small change: Up your exercise 10 percent. Even if you're completely sedentary, your body burns at least 1,000 calories a day (depending on your weight and age). Boosting that by 10 percent translates to a mere 100 calories - an amount you could expend by taking a 28-minute walk.
The big gains: A burn of

A closet filled with tangled tops and mismatched shoes is tough to navigate in the morning. If you're tired of the hassle and disorder, put a stop to it with these easy habits.

• Where to begin: Hold your own once-a-year fashion show. Empty the closet, then try on each garment in front of a full-length mirror. Does it fit? With what outfits and on what occasions will you wear it? Does it need mending? Will you ever be able to get out that ink stain? Separate pieces into four piles: keep, mend, donate, throw away. Follow the same steps for shoes. Now you can start organizing the keepers, eking out extra space with over-the-door storage and hanging shelves.

• Toss mismatched hangers: Their irregular shapes take up more space, and the wire ones that dry cleaners use are hard on your clothes. Try a coordinated set, like the Huggable Hangers ($14 for 12, HSN; hsn.com).

• Keep your clothes stored by outfit: For example, store

Problem: You love your clothes, but they just don't last long enough. Yes, you love to shop for new clothing, but you'd also love to keep your favorite frocks looking their best, for as long as possible. We have the fixes for your biggest clothing problems.

The Problem: Dingy Whites
Believe it or not, many mixed-color garments, like white sport socks with blue trim, can be whitened safely by using chlorine bleach. Follow label directions, spot-testing the bleach first, then add just the recommended amount. Don't use chlorine bleach on any item whose label clearly cautions against it.

The Problem: Faded Blacks
Just as whites don't stay white, black clothing often fades to, well, off-black. This happens because the excess dye that's put on when the fabric is made so it looks really black in the store wears off quickly. Add to that a trace amount of chlorine in wash water and soon you're seeing gray. While there's no fix-it once

Delicious spring vegetables are now available at your local farmers' market and grocery store. But how on earth do you get the kids to enjoy them too? Roast them - it's that simple,

Sharing that tip is one way of contributing to the Let's Move campaign launched by Michelle Obama and the White House. The campaign's mission is to make school lunch choices healthier and to make fresh, healthy food more affordable and accessible. Helping kids get healthy and be fit is an issue about which I care deeply. It was championed by Good Housekeeping in our March issue, in which we offer delicious, healthy roasting recipes for readers and their families.

This effortless technique makes vegetables as sweet as candy and creates a crust as crisp as fries. My daughters love the crunchy edges and juicy centers of roasted Brussels sprouts, so I made a big batch, tossed with grapes and olive oil and simply seasoned with salt and pepper, for a play date. The kids gobbled them up. When my brother-in-law

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and just because times have been tough doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself and your family of a fun vacation. With a little planning you can enjoy a great getaway without forfeiting the college savings fund.

Time it right
Try surfing the Web for wallet-friendly airfares Mondays (after 3 p.m. ET) through Wednesday nights, says Rick Seaney, CEO of farecompare.com. That's the window airlines have been using lately to clear out their extra seats. They usually post fare increases on Thursdays, which competitors match on Fridays through Sundays, so even though the weekend is your most convenient time to hunt for bargains, it's when you'll find the fewest.
