Along with my Blog “The Professional Domestic” I also have Facebook and Instagram pages under the same name.

I have been wanting to paint our bathroom ever since we moved in.

But with the three of us living here it quickly warpedContinue reading “Bathroom Painting Update”

Not Impressed with Our Debt January 2020 Update
Originally I had a good solid “plan” when I started this journey of paying off our debt. Unfortunately that plan is in need of a change. The momentum that I started with has changed because I am not working 55+ hours a week anymore. I have decided to adjust and take a different approach toContinue reading “Not Impressed with Our Debt January 2020 Update”
