I don’t know about you, but my kitchen gets out of control quickly. It tends to become the dumping ground for school papers, newspapers, work papers, mail, art projects, etc. Recently, we’ve reorganized the pantry.

No Fuss DIY Swiffer Dry Sweeping Refills

Two things about me: I hate to spend money on things that end up in the trash. And I am also madly in love with my Swiffer Sweepervac. And there lies my dilemma. The flooring in every room in my home is either laminate or hard wood. I love our floors, but they quickly appear dirty or […]
