just our day to day life
Since we’ve become homeowners, we are both much more interested in DIY and home repair, naturally. At some point I stumbled upon a blog that has become one of my favorites: Young House Love. They are DIY-masters and pretty darn funny, plus they do relevant …
Ever since we bought our house, I’ve been so excited to buy a composter. We never had a yard before and I can’t believe it took me this long (3 months) to finally purchase one. We eat a ton of fresh fruit and veggies and …
