Pinwheel Tutorial
I posted these last week and was asked by several for a tutorial. I aim to please, so here it is! This tutorial is really from Mini Mustard Seed aka “Mini” aka Charlene. She’s my babysitter/nanny and helps me out with my business during busy seasons. She’s super crafty, so she makes most of my […]
Thanksgiving in April?
Working in both the retail world and the magazine world make the seasons a jumbled mess in my house. You would not believe how sad it is when your four year old gets excited at seeing a Christmas tree only to crush his hopes by telling him it’s still September and it’s just for mommy’s work. […]

Oreck Steam-It Mop Giveaway!
**This giveaway is closed.** I shared how much I like my Oreck Steam-It a few weeks ago and now it’s time for the giveaway! First of all, I want to clear up some things. I received a few comments on my review post expressing concern about using a steam mop on hardwood floors. My floors are nailed […]
