The ant thing is seriously getting to me. No matter how clean the kitchen is, there are ants. And I cannot find where they’re entering! It has to be under/behind the cabinets or the dishwasher, and I suspect something around…
Where’s Home?
1. Where were you born? Gadsden, Alabama 2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to? If you don’t live there, do you want to move back? Why or why not? My parents moved us to Atlanta…
