Happy Memorial Day and Blog Plans

So, the second week in my FOTD Monday series, and it just so happens to be a work Holiday, and I don't feel like getting all dolled up! Ironic huh? Instead, I'm going to wish you all a wonderful Memorial Day, and say thank you to everyone who has risked their lives for our country.

Also, I want to let you guys know what my plans are for this blog. This is a hobby for me, as well as a passion. I do work full time, and unfortunately I can only devote so much time and effort into this. Now that doesn't mean that I don't give 100% because I do, but it does have to be my second priority.

I want to blog at least 4 times a week. Preferably, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then an extra weekend post. My plan is a Monday FOTD, a review, a DIY, and maybe an organization or home decor. All of those things are what I enjoy and look forward to posting for everyone. Now sometimes that might not be possible, and I don't want to get myself down over it. I want this to be enjoyable for me and my readers, and I never want it to feel like a chore.

Please let me know if there would be anything in particular you guys would like to see. A specific review or DIY would be great suggestions. Please don't hold back! Thanks for everyone's support!

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought. We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you. Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas. Almo...

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock....

Why I'm No Longer Purchasing from Erin Condren

I'm fully aware that some people might not agree with me on this topic, but I really need to share my experiences with Erin Condren as well as my opinions on why I do not plan on purchasing from this brand any longer. Customer Service Good customer service is what makes a company, and unfortunately that is NOT Erin Condren's top priority. My personal experience with the customer service has been half and half. The policies and responses to customers is never consistent which makes me believe they make do not have any rules and guidelines for dealing with customer issues. In my opinion a company should have guidelines for handling issues and complaints. Quality Control I have placed a total of 25 orders with Erin Condren over the past 5 years. Within the last 2 years 4 out of 5 orders have arrived either incorrect, flawed, or completely wrong. Again, only in my opinion, the way that this company lets orders leave there facility tells me that they don't...
