I love all the goodies that Little Painted Polka Dots offers. From necklaces to bracelets, to gifts, they're all my favorite. One of her newer pieces is the Six Sided Keychain.

If you're like me, buying store bought all purpose cleaner gets old. One, because it doesn't work as great as it should. Two, because it definitely can get pricey. We use all purpose cleaner a lot.

Trust solely in my Father in Heaven. I want to rely only on ...
