1 Congratulations! It’s SPRING! It is time to go through each room and make notes as to things that need to be repaired, cleaned and organized.

Well my darlings! It’s finally here! Another New Year and I don’t think I could be more happier than I am right now. Last year was filled with so many things…very few good and lots of very very bad. Thus leaving me anticipating 2017 for quite some time. Why is it that January always...
