Good morning! What are your plans for the weekend? Can I share an embarrassing story? I am a rapid-fire texter and quick on the send button. I end up sending three additional text messages to correct my typos and errant consonants. And other texts, like the one I sent to my daughter, auto-corrected to “he…
Hello, FALL showed up in Colorado. We were in Dayton (Ohio) for Parents Weekend. My son shares a rental house with seven friends. There are some home-related decor decisions I cannot unsee. I did leave with two thrifty decor tips: It’s the little things that I appreciate about my house after returning from a house…
