What Do You Want to Make Today?
I’m not a particularly good housekeeper, but I am trying to do better. Lately I’ve been trying to stick to a schedule of working in different rooms on different days of the week, as well as staying on top of the handwash dishes (mostly pots, pans and good knives) that seem to get out of […]
