I cannot express how much I love this! My husband used to keep our spong out until the entire kitchen smelled like mildew (I mean after all, it still worked, right?) We would fight and then I would throw it out and get a new spong. Now it will not be a fight but a celebration! Thank you for this! And for reminding me of my favorite trip ever: twenty 20 year-olds on a 57 ft sailboat from Miami to the Bahamas. It was so invigorating I didn't need sleep! I took the night shift. The stars were amazing! We had a captain and we were the crew. We took turns driving the boat and cooking. Eating lobster and conch right out of the ocean was absolutely incredible! I was 20. And it was 1 week. Not sure I could do it today. (Have you seen Dead Calm? If you like suspense, horror, and Nicole Kidman I highly recommend!)

In any event, my husband now changes the spong regularly, but now it will be a celebration! Thank you for this!

I celebrate every month because of YOU! Also, because of you, I know working on a boat is so not for me 🚤🛥🤢
