I’ve written before how this annual post where I share the first line of my first post of every month of the past year is one of my favourites of the year. Part of the reason is how it seems completely random (I honestly don’t think about what I’m posting for the start of every […]
I was lamenting that our new dishwasher didn’t seem as big as the dishwasher at our old house and barely had room for a row of big plates and a row of small plates on the bottom rack. My mother-in-law casually reached in the dishwasher and took the utensil tray (which was along the front […]
