It’s Time for Spring Cleaning!

April 20, 2012 by kwoods2012

The snow is starting to melt, the sun is starting to come out of hiding and the birds are starting to sing in the trees.

April 16, 2012 by kwoods2012

Your car is your important mode of transport between point A and B, but if you are like many people you might also be in the habit of using it as a trash can on wheels.
