Yay spring. It's all about cleaning and decluttering again. If I spent the time actually cleaning that I spend thinking about it, there probably wouldn't be a "laundry" part of Gym Craft Laundry and I wouldn't feel like such a horrible housewife. But it is a part of who I am and what I work on improving every day. I have to rely on a trick that motivates me to clean the rest … [Read more...]

Thank goodness for the bloggers that … [Read more...]
