Laundry Room Remodel

Home Remodeling In mid-2019 we decided it was time to update our laundry room which is also our kitchen pantry.

Some of them were super deep

Cleaning Your Top-load Washer

  My top-load washer is about 11 years old.  And it was getting kind of gross.  In full disclosure I’d never given it a good scrub-down.  But it was time.  So I went to the place that has answers for everything….Pinterest, of course.  I was led to THIS post by Jill on how to clean

Miss Who?

Hair Bows: Mason School Spirit

  If you are not a FB friend, you might have missed these photos and milestones.  Stella graduated from preschool in mid-August and then started Kindergarten.  WOW.  And now apparently, she’s all sassy.   Setting: Each morning I “style” the girls’ hair in my bathroom.  I was putting a pony tail in Stella’s when this

Discounted Wine? Yes, Please!

Discounted Wine? Yes, Please!

Most of you who know me well…know I love this:     Earlier this year I was at a lunch with a business partner and she clued me in on the best thing ever for a person like me.  A website that sells wine at a discounted price.  If you are a wine-lover and don’t
