I sometimes ask what everyone in my family wants to eat and suddenly nobody can recall a single meal they’d like to see in front of them at dinnertime.… Continue reading Fast, Stress-Free Family Dinners at Home
Nowadays, it is extremely common among home buyers to run into stiff competition for a house, especially if the house is priced well and located in a desirable neighborhood.

Wait, wait, what did that say? Did she make a mistake? No, let… Continue reading Top 5 List for November 18, 2016
Today, I’m going to tell you about a different kind of bucket, one that I have never seen before but it works so well that it has prompted me to write a post about it. It is the O Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop and Bucket System. I bought it on Amazon after searching for ways… Continue reading A Different Kind of Bucket List
A friend of mine gave me this idea inadvertently. I was standing in the shower wondering how I could get myself on a schedule of writing because honestly, I’ve been struggling.
