How To Organize Plastic Food Containers in the Kitchen

September 27, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

The Value of a Homemaker

Let’s go ahead and get something out of the way right off the bat. While my current status is that of a full-time homemaker/blogger, I’ve also worked out of the home, both part-time and full-time.

Tying Up Loose Ends and Preparing For The New Year

December 28, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 7 Comments

Tying Up Loose Ends

A brand new year will soon be here, unblemished and full of promise. I always find that rather exciting. But before I turn that calendar page, I like to take a look back, reflect a bit and tie up some loose ends. I can then move forward with a clean slate, ready to fully embrace…
