Design & DIY with a hint of dog
This is just a quick post about something I need to get off my chest. It’s been keeping me up at night. When I moved in, my first priority was scrubbing the kitchen HARD. I scrubbed the cabinet doors, shelves, insides of doors, everything! There were little splashes of oil […]
Everything’s fine. I’m fine. I am a real adult and can handle things :’) Except when it comes to actually handling… things… I’m pretty sure I’m the clumsiest person I know. Not the trip and fall kind of clumsy, but I just… drop… EVERYTHING!! I am notorious in my family […]
