I died a little inside, then yelled, “Don’t go in the garage of shame,” just as she yelled, “Oh my gosh, your garage is so clean!”

And just like that, all my self recrimination about it dissapated.

So here’s to throwing open the doors to our refrigerators, our ovens, our garages, and our junk drawers! Let’s celebrate our mystery leftovers, our blackened pie drippings, our abandoned craft projects.
