Many households have fabric furniture in their homes. This might be because leather furniture is typically higher pried or because people want a greater variety of choices. Fabrics tend to come in a wider range of colors, patterns, and textures than other materials. Fabric-based furniture, however, can be a bit more challenging to clean! Rather than a simple wipe down fabrics sometimes require a more robust and deep cleaning process. Everything inside of a home will get dirty at some point and your furniture is no exception, although it might be one of those chores that slip the mind from time to time. Forgetting toRead More →

This was supposed to be a one month challenge but the world decided to upend every routine we had and so here we are two months later with our cleaning routine results! While we are all still adjusting to this social distancing lifestyle (I really miss my Dollar store trips and crafts!) and the kids being home until the next school year starts, I have made some strides when it comes to sticking to my cleaning routine. Is it perfect? Not yet… but it’s getting there and I feel confident enough to make this post. Cleaning Routine Results, Getting Organized This post may contain affiliateRead More →

Building self-esteem can be challenging. When you’re a young child you have many people encouraging you as you learn new skills and (hopefully) looking out for you as you figure things out.

Creating self-esteem as an adult can be a special challenge because we tend to get caught up inRead More →

Shark Valley Tram Tours

This summer my family had the opportunity to spend some time in Miami. Because we are an outdoor-loving family, of course, we had to make sure we took the kids to the Everglades.

Since we happen to have some pretty great friends who live in the area we were able to explore all the best parts of Miami with the help of a local and the Shark Valley Tram Tours did not disappoint! Activities like those provided by the Shark Valley Tram Tours are goldmines for families like ours. WeRead More →
