It has also caused us to recognize the important people in our life and treasure the moments we have with an attitude of gratitude. Amidst the upheaval that 2020 has brought, one thing I know that is important to the masses …
Many of us will spend hours and hours watching design shows trying to find ways to freshen up our homes and make them look like the latest and greatest celebrity or blogger’s recent transformation.
