I always loved popping over to Erica Vestch's blog on Fridays because she'd write her Friday Five, a list of five related items. They could be anything, really. Erica now contributes to Coffee Cups and Camisoles if you'd like to catch her posts, or you can check out her website here! In…
I did laundry on Monday. I do laundry every Monday. I'm very, very thankful to own my own washer and dryer. There have been times in my life when I didn't. To be able to throw a load of clothes in at any time without driving to a laundromat or…
