Back in August we decided to update our laundry room/storage area and turn it into a functional office space for the Mister and a much more comfortable laundry room for myself. This area is accessed by going out of our house into our carport and then there is a little room off the carport. It's been cold and ugly and dirty...not exactly the place you'd like to be doing laundry or working, right? Here is a little reminder of what we did to the room in August. And here ...continue reading
Laundry Horror to Laundry Haven
We live in a 1960's ranch house. Evidently when they built my house noone thought it was important to put the laundry room inside the house.

Listen To Your Own Advice…I Must Confess
So I must confess, I had a bit of meltdown with a good friend this week. I was feeling overwhelmed with all the life changes going on here at my house.
