Bathroom Mini-Remodel: Scraping Popcorn Ceiling, Painting and Refreshing Decor
Our 1970's ranch has popcorn ceiling all over the house.

A Day In My Life: April 2022
Come along for a normal day in my life! I work four days a week, so I'm sharing a look at a typical work day. I didn't time stamp anything - I trust you, but I thought it might not be the best idea to tell the whole internet where they can find me at… Continue reading A Day In My Life: April 2022

We're just two days away from the first day of spring! I love winter (mild southern winter) and I'm always sad to see it go, but it's hard to be mad about spring.
