I like things clean! To help pay my way through college I cleaned houses. It’s fun for me to make a space look new again. Working on a small stain or cleaning a whole room is kinda my jam. I have actually gotten in trouble for cleaning before…haha! When I visit my parents in Seattle […]

Begging and pleading….please make your bed!?!! Ahhhh… Summer and a clean house just don’t go together…unless maybe they can?? Maybe? We’ll see….
