This weekend is going to be a special one—my mother is coming to visit! That means the boys are in full cleaning mode, making sure every inch of the house is spotless. The guest room, which has become a bit of a storage space lately, needs to be completely cleared out. They have their work cut out for them, but I have no doubt they’ll have it perfect in time.

And yes, my mother knows all about my lifestyle. In fact, it’s one of the reasons she enjoys visiting so much. She quite likes the little privileges that come with spending time here—especially with thing1, thing2, and of course, the houseboy. It’s always a pleasure having her here, and I can’t wait to enjoy the weekend together!
