Dry Itchy Skin and the Holiday’s Don’t Mix.

Is it just me or did anyone else feel like the Holidays kinda snuck up on ya? I can’t believe we are basically two weeks away from Christmas. We haven’t even put a tree up, and I can’t even begin to describe everything else we need to do to prepare. So yeah, I’ve got lots to do. The holidays are a stressful but joyous time of the year.  There are certain things that we should definitely be stressing about and certain things we should not.

Great Tips for Keeping the Home Clean When you Have Pets this Holiday Season

I love to decorate our home and have people over. The one thing I don’t like is the big clean up that goes on right before you have guest over.  We’re not those people whose house is always immaculate whenever you go to visit. Let me tell ya, our house and every single room within it is very much lived in. We do a really good clean once a week and since we have pets our clean up is a lot more intense.
