After years of drying our clothes with toxin-filled dryer sheets, I made the leap to plastic dryer balls several years…
It’s so cold. Like, SO cold outside. I can’t handle it any more. I feel like it’s going on…forever!! I know, I know. I chose to live here in Michigan. And I am not one to typically complain, but this winter has got me! I don’t know if it’s the cold or if it’s the…
