It’s gotta be one of the best day’s in a working woman’s week . . . The day the cleaning lady comes! Danae did an awesome job cleaning my house the Monday before Christmas — even mopping the bathroom floor on Christmas Eve just before the guests arrive. (something was sticky on it) If you ask me, … Read More
Randoms thoughts and bringing in the New Year
New Year’s Eve day I baked a batch of cinnamon rolls, bought two (cheap) glass bowls at Walmart and filled them with fresh eggs.

For their dad’s … Read More
