My house is clean and I’m not afraid to admit it! I get a lot of rolled eyes when people come to my house and see how clean it is amongst four males in the house. But the joke is on them. Because my house isn’t really that clean. It just looks like it is. […]
Once in a while I am paid to write here on my blog. (I KNOW!) The opinions on my blog are always my own, paid or not. I do sometimes mention products and companies just because I love them and receive no payment in return. If I was paid, rest assured, I will tell you […]
