Guest Bathroom Organization on a Budget

Spring cleaning season is right before us and as part of my spring cleaning I always like to do a little organizing as well.

I recently discovered that they now sell it in super convenient spray bottles, and just in time too, because they have been a life saver ever since we brought our new puppy home! I have always liked cleaning with vinegar but it has been so nice using it to clean up after Scarlett because I know that it’s non-toxic and won’t harm her in… Read More
