Getting out the door to school in the morning is hard, so having our hair accessories easily accessible is just one more thing that will make my life easier. … [Read more...]

My husband almost completely cleaned out our garage (previously known as the black hole) and I … [Read more...]

From clothes and coats to toiletries and brooms, I intend to ruthlessly clean out and organize them … [Read more...]
POYEL: More on Our Daily Routines
As I mentioned on Monday, a small bought of spring cleaning fever recently hit our family.
