If you had a chance to read our post about the Spring Porch Tour on Tuesday you know it’s beginning to feel like spring around here. Just inside the front door is our entry that opens up to the dining room, so today, I thought I would share how we added a bit of spring to the entry too.
A couple of weeks ago my bestie S asked me to meet up at our local home improvement store. We needed to pick up a few supplies for the spring front porch and the office makeover.

But over the past 24 hours we have suffered yet another devastating loss and it seems insensitive to act as if things are fine when scenes from our week have been filled with hospitals, hugs and home goings.

I can honestly say, talking about toilets or how to clean toilets is something I never imagined I would be sharing with you. But since we’re all friends and this product saved us from having to buy a new toilet, I had to share it. I’m thinking some of you have either had this problem or will have this problem in the future and I want you to be have a quick solution. So here’s how we discovered the best way to clean those unsightly hard water and mineral rings from our toilets and how you can too…
You guys, I have to tell you something super gross that happened to me the other day and I’m wondering if it’s ever happened to you. Do you label your cleaning sponges?
