Hear that? It’s a huge sigh of relief coming from yours truly. I have been working on finishing the kids’ shared room since before Graham came along (which happened in June of last year), and I have FINALLY finished all the things I had wanted to do. Of course, there will always be more and…
Christmas may be over, but winter is still in full swing. So while I packed away all of my Christmas decorations, I did leave a few things out so that I could “winterize” my mantle. I’m all about longevity, so I’m thinking this will work for the next couple of months before I have to…
