WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TIME OF THE DAY AT HOME?

After I drop off the kids at school, I focus my energy to get all my housework done. This is my favourite time to tidy because it kick-starts my workday and gets me going.

WHERE’S YOUR HAPPY PLACE?

The breakfast nook by the kitchen. I get lots of natural light through the window and it has a great view of our yard. My family often gravitate here, so it’s a great spot in the house to be in.
