How to Get Rid of Smelly Shoes: DIY Shoe Powder

Summer is coming! Or, depending on where you live, summer is here. In Toronto, where I live, the temperatures are starting to soar. And while I’m so excited for summer BBQs, pool hangouts, and all kinds of summer fun, I am not excited for sweaty feet and stinky shoes.  So in honor of the very […]

How to Clean Your Home During and After a Renovation

Chad and I bought our house in 2018, and it was, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. Right away, we did fixer-up, at least the upstairs. And may I just say it looks fabulous. However, the basement we put off for a couple of years, until this past summer.  Our basement renovation project was a […]
