April 6, 2018 No Comments

I’m not even going to pretend I’m handy. When it comes to remodelling the bathroom or adding a simple backsplash, I kind of run and hide. Because a) I procrastinate and b) it sounds hard.

The pieces of art at Homesense were ginormous AKA difficult to get home AND it’s pretty hit or miss so the time spent wandering was more then it should have been… Thankfully, I found this company online called Photo Wall. They don’t only have […]

OMG okay so Mother’s Day is coming up REALLY fast and flowers are probably THE thing to get any Mom. It’s spring, moms like flowers, PLUS they are a quick + easy gift if you’ve been running around and {oops} totally forgot to buy a gift :| … it happens.
