We have made a lot of playlists together and need somewhere to blast em.

One for trash, one for recycling.

We have a very small washing machine that can fit maybe 2 of our towels and whenever we have guests our laundry load is 😱. These are extremely small and dry quickly and pretty.

A pet that will clean up after our other pet

It has a pet hair brush. This is all we needed to hear.

Are we really going to sift your flour?? you ask. And to that we say, do you want us to make you macarons or not?
