Money, goals and motherhood

Remember me talking about adding wainscoting to my dining room? I’m finally here to talk about how I did it, and the steps I took in case you want to try this adventure for yourself. I’m actually embarrassed at how long it has taken me to write this post — I did this project last July. I am getting
