Who knows what these are? Do you have a similar stack at your house? I swear I have at least a dozen of those plastic detergent cups floating around my laundry room. Whenever I do a load of laundry I find a cup, fill it to the line with detergent and end up washing the…

As I’ve mentioned before, this year’s cold and flu season really took a toll on both Aimée and my families.

Hardy Flowers for Easy Floral Arrangments

While at SNAP last week, we attended a flower arranging workshop presented by our friend Brittany from One Charming Party. I can count on one hand the number of flower arrangements that I’ve done, and Aimée had zero experience. To be sure this was both of our first attempts at a “real” arrangement that involved…
