Answers to your cleaning, organizing questions & more!
A couple months ago I approached my husband with a set of plans that I’d printed off of Ana White’s website. To say he was excited about it would be a lie, in fact I think the idea of a huge project like this was the last thing he wanted.

I know, it was a low… Read More
I had a reader tell me that they wanted another way to eliminate odors, rather than just always using “plain baking soda”.

Good morning lovely readers! A couple weeks ago I shared this post over at Tatertots & Jello but just in case you missed it, I wanted to make sure you got to see it too!

In my house the laundry room is directly off the kitchen, on the way to our bedroom. It ends up being a dumping/storage station for everything: decorations, candles, extra groceries, dirty washcloths, etc. I was so tired of looking at a… Read More
Last week we were invited to a friend’s house for dinner.
