Tips and Tricks:
Use a few drops of lemon juice to help remove grout stains. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Wipe dry. Lemon juice also acts as a mild disinfectant and leaves your house smelling fresh and inviting.


My favorite blog post this week:
Growing herbs for different teas at Chiot's Run


Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
Living Our Dream - I discovered this blog about a month ago and I just love going there to visit. The blog's authors are retired and travel full time in their RV. They have stunning photos and very interesting places to share with us.


No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):

To stick to my morals and values and to never waver.
