Love this post. I used the cardboard scratchers to train my cats to stop clawing on the furniture - just put a scratcher down beside the spot that they were starting to claw and they loved it. Eventually I stopped using the cardboard ones, mostly because they love them so much I had to replace them almost every month and that got very expensive. Also, because they left chunks of clawed up cardboard all over the floor and I got tired of cleaning it up! But of course I must have something for them to scratch on - so now I buy a big TRAMPA door mat from IKEA, cut it in half, and place them where I need them. The cats LOVE it!

I absolutely love the videos!

I love this place. It looks so cozy and comfortable. Very pretty!

I have been living with my spouse for 14 years, and the organization of home tasks and chores took some time to figure out. I don't think that it is a matter of who does what, but negotiating a system that works for you both. Finding your way in a relationship is all about negotiating and figuring out how to make things work.
We do our own laundry. It never made any sense for me when we moved in together that I would do his laundry, so I never did. However, I wash the sheets and towels because I like a freshly made bed and clean linens.
I cook he does the dishes. We both pick up after ourselves and keep the home tidy. I usually clean the bathroom and he vacuums. He does the litter boxes and cleans up after the cats. He takes care of the garden, takes out the trash. I do the grocery shopping and pay the bills.

Love this place! Great job Katie. Great to see these Seattle pics on AT, keep it up.

Great use of space, i love how it is organized.

I am so loving these posts. I hope that when this officially ends you keep them going in some format. Wonderful!
