I was at Target a few weeks ago in the cleaning supplies section. I had been going back and forth between two aisles looking a specific kind of soap for the all natural cleaning supplies post. I couldn’t find what I was looking for. That’s when these two women entered the next aisle over and […]
I’ll never forget the first time we drove by this shelf on the side of the road. I yelled at my husband…. Did you see that?… turn around…. That’s the perfect shelf for that weird spot on the wall… turn around… we’re getting it. He was mortified. First he said no. He didn’t want people […]
