A mix of baking soda, citric acid and your favorite essential oils that helps get rid of unpleasant odors and keep toilet bowls a little fresher in between cleanings.

Buh-bye germs and bad odors! If there is one place in the house that I despise cleaning the most, it would have to be the bathrooms. So, I decided to give it a try…

I also need to collect paperwork. My kitchen table winds up being the keeper of most papers, but I think it is time to find them a new home. Let’s just say I am ready to create a…

My closet is jam packed with clothes! Clothes hanging up, scattered on the top shelf, hidden behind shoes or tucked away off in the corner. I’m sure more than half of the clothes that have taken up residence within my closet no…
