Spring Cleaning – cleaning blinds
I wrote a post about cleaning blinds a couple/few years ago, and I believe it’s been that long since I’ve done them – how embarrassing! It’s time to clean them! There are a few chores around the home that I really dislike doing: cleaning my shower, cleaning the oven and cleaning my blinds. If I […]
How to keep an area rug from moving around
