Plant Gnat Removal Success

It has been one month since I was completely fed up and tried a new trap. I don't want to jinx it, but I think they might be gone. Who? The plant gnats. Oh, I didn't know you had a gnat problem?

Tolerance recipes for shared countertops

I grew up learning tidiness isn't a priority for everyone.  I was the one (occasionally mom, too) who desperately wanted a dreamy, beautiful, and tidy home.  I would spend hours reorganizing, cleaning, and labeling things.  I'd leave notes behind for everyone so they'd appreciate my hard work, and to remind them: "This is how it… Continue reading Tolerance recipes for shared countertops

I can't go into a bookstore, browse, and leave without buying a book.  I've tried, but it happens every single time.  I've tried not touching the books and just walk around admiring the spines. I've tried carrying around a cup of coffee so my hands are too busy to pick them up.  I've tried reminding myself… Continue reading How I roll – reading 3 books at one time
