Our Pressure Washer is Our Best Friend + A Giveaway!!
This post and giveaway is sponsored by Briggs and Stratton. Pressure washing is, pretty much, our favorite summer hobby around here. In our most recent podcast, it was only a half-joke when we say we pressure wash every day. So we were very excited when Briggs + Stratton asked if they could send us one of their […]

A Simple, Little Gadget that Changed our Lives + A simplehuman giveaway!
This post is sponsored by simplehuman. Chris has always been hyper-aware of cross-contamination in the kitchen. He wears gloves when handling raw meat. We have a touch faucet so he can turn on the water--with his elbow!--and we now have a sensor soap dispenser from simplehuman. (We love it so much, at the end of […]

How We Keep Our Home Clean with a Big, Hairy Dog
Charly has been a member of our family for over three years now and we can't imagine this home without her. I'm not going to lie, having never had a dog before, it took me a couple weeks to get used to her and that hair and drool (I actually lost my appetite for 9 days […]

Say Goodbye to Those Gray Scratches on Your White Dishware
Shortly after Chris and I got married, we bought ourselves ten plain white dishes. They weren't super expensive--maybe $2.50 a piece?--but we loved the classic look and hoped we could hang on to them for a long, long time and use them for all the dinner parties we planned on having. Well, we definitely have […]

That Dirty-Secret-of-a-Garage has been Tamed.
I can't believe we did it. We cleaned and organized this mess in less than 24 hours: Wednesday night my mom and I worked until about 10:30pm and were so excited when we quit for the night because you could see the garage floor on one side. Yesterday, our progress went a lot faster thanks […]

Our Dirtiest Secret.

It is mostly one huge pile of renovation debris consisting of old carpet, sheet rock and wood. Or at least that is […]
