Friday Five
ONEI finally ordered this carpet and upholstery cleaning machine. I'm going to use it on our outdoor furniture and our main sofa! I'll be sure to share the results on IG stories. Our main sofa is in amazing condition, but after over 5 years, I bet it could use a cleaning! We do use waffle blankets on the bench seats of both of our sofas, which ...

ONE I went back to work this week – I know that has surprised a lot of you – I was surprised too!

It’s nice seeing colleagues (wearing a mask and social ...
Friday Five
ONE It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas! Look, I've never decorated for the holidays this early, ever. But 2020 is something of an oddity in all aspects and I decided I wanted to enjoy the greenery and sparkle a little longer.

Friday Five
Welcome to this week's Friday Five! ONE My mental health has not been doing well this month. It wasn't until someone sent me this article that I truly realized why we feel so depleted. I've had trouble focusing, concentrating and feeling motivated/productive. Though I have GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and am not new to some of these ...
