The experience with our exchange student from Japan is going very well. As I mentioned last week, I will be posting the "best of BHH" here on the blog until the end of August so I can focus on making sure he is happy, and we are enjoying our family time. Today, I am re-sharing…

Going into the One Room Challenge, whether or not we would need a new floor was the wild card. During those first days, I honestly thought we might salvage the old floor even though it looked awful.
