You can’t live Up North and not embrace the snow, so this year my husband and I bought two new-to-us snowmobiles. Snowmobiling is nothing new to my husband. He’s been driving them for years. I, however, had ridden one only once before, and that was on the back of my husband’s in the mountains of [...]
Works for Me Wednesday
Ok, I’m going to sound like a commercial here, but I found something I like and thought I’d share it. I went to the grocery store today to get some cleaning supplies. I was out of my multi purpose cleaner. I spotted a bottle with the label Arm and Hammer Essentials that looked a bit [...]
