Tim loves candles so we usually have a candle sitting on every table in the house.  After burning through a bunch of candles in the basement we decided it was time to buy more while we were out shopping.  Now, I love candles too.  I love coming home to a nice aroma but I hate [...]

So the weather here in West Michigan has just been fabulous this weekend!  Mid to high 70s and sunny all weekend.  Unfortunately Tim had to make a run to Chicago to help a friend bring back some furniture so that day was pretty much shot.  But today was, well, fabulous!
