survey

At My House

I saw another survey in a magazine that I thought would be fun to fill out! Last time, the survey was about opposites and was from Marie Claire magazine. This time, it’s about home life, and I found it in Good Housekeeping. I encourage anyone to join in and take the survey on their blog or answer any of the questions in the comments! Because you know, I like asking questions ;).
