If you’re not aware, Amazon is not the most… ethical company and it’s becoming even more obvious in the recent weeks. I won’t get into it, you can Google it and find out for yourself. I admit I have become a lazy shopper and often go to Amazon for super simple things, especially now that… Continue Reading Where to Shop Instead of Amazon
Yoga mats are shoved under all the furniture to prevent our dog’s balls from rolling underneath. The living room floor lamp now has a grow lightbulb in it and has moved to the end of the dining table which has been transformed into a plant nursery.
