grout and caulk are both different in the sense that they are made from different types of materials. They are the same in the sense that they both require the same method of care to keep them clean. If you haven’t had your grout sealed, for whatever reason, then it is important to do that as well as resealing when necessary. The area should be cleaned often and the room should be well ventilated to prevent the mold from growing.

Key Takeaways:

• Grout goes between the crevices of tiles and is natural while caulk is silicone based and flexbile.
• The best way to keep your grout looking new while preventing stains, mold and calcium build up is to seal, clean and ventilate.
• Ground needs to be resealed since it doesn’t stay waterproof forever but it is a simple task that anyone can do.

“Depending on how often the shower is used, the grout needs to be resealed, and that’s something you can do yourself.”

People living in areas where different seasons occur know that seasonal clothes storing is not a simple task of putting stuff away. In fact, when improperly stored, certain materials can be ruined and no longer usable. Make sure that clothes are clean before you put them away. Not every item and every material should be hanged, so ensure you understand which ones may stretch if you store them that way. Avoid materials such as cardboard and store your stuff in a cool and dry space.

Key Takeaways:

• Before you put your clothes away for the season, make sure that you have washed them so you don’t attract insects.
• Try to avoid plastic or cardboard packaging as this increases the risk of mildew and insects infiltrating your clothing and your home.
• Store your clothing in a dark, cool, dry spot such as the high shelf of your closet to keep the clothes safe.

“In general, any item that can lose its shape—knits, synthetics, and silks—should be folded for long-term storage.”

As a grandparent, you play an important role in the lives of your grandchildren, but it’s a supporting role. You need to understand that this is the chance for your adult children to raise their kids their own way. Parents, not grandparents, make the rules for their kids. Don’t give unsolicited advice and don’t criticize lest it stir up resentment. Furthermore, permit your children to set your boundaries with respect to their kids. However, you can set boundaries regarding, say, having to babysit without pay. Try to stay open to new ideas and changing times and, finally, try to teach and inspire your grandchildren.

Key Takeaways:

• As a grandparent you need to understand that your parents now make the rule for their children, not you.
• As a grandparent, your role is to be as supportive as possible to both your children and your grandchildren.
• As a grandparent, don’t give advice to your children or grandchildren unless asked for it. Always be a good listener but let them try to figure out their own solutions.

“As I was having these total “delusions” of grandeur, I thought this was my chance to make right all the wrongs I had committed on my own children.”

Interior design styles like mid-century modern, Tuscan, and even farmhouse can be trendy. They come in and out of style, leaving once beautiful homes see a bit dated. So, one of the best ways to timelessly decorate your home is by keeping your decor boring. It’s best to utilize pieces of furniture that have neutral colors and can blend in with almost any room. In other words, the classic look is the classic look because it’s, well, classic.

Key Takeaways:

• Boring design is neutral, clean and classic, and it goes with everything.
• The bigger the furniture piece, the more neutral and classic it should be.
• Trendy decor still has its place, but foundational furnishings should be neutral and classic.
