It’s finally summer, which means time for playing outside with your kids, hanging by the pool, and trips to the beach. Since we don’t have a beach nearby, my kids love going to the pool, and I love going with them. But, it wasn’t always that way.  I spent many years on the sidelines watching […]

A cleaning schedule. Over the years, that phrase has sparked excitement and fear at the same time.  As a newlywed, I realized within a month I wasn’t the naturally clean woman I wanted to be. Instead of a neat and orderly home, I battled piles of laundry and a sink full of never ending dishes. […]
