Baking, Building and Raising Babies We are tackling life one DIY at a time while balancing a family, a budget and a hectic daily life.
In my toddler’s bedroom we have curtains hanging in his closet in lieu of accordion doors. He likes to take a little book into the closet, squish himself behind the clothes hamper, and hide himself away. This got my wheels turning about how we can …
Since my kiddo hit 20 months, he’s been having a really hard time with his emotions. He wants to communicate, but doesn’t always have the words. He doesn’t understand why he can make some of his own choices, but Momma calls the rest of the …
We tear through homemade sourdough crackers at an alarming rate in our home. Since cutting back on added sugars, though, I’ve noticed a whale sized hole in my heart… a cheese flavored one, to be specific. The kiddo and I are both huge fans of …

I’m sitting here with my coffee this morning, and the house is quiet. The kiddo is still asleep. The sun is coming up over the fields. And everything is okay. Better, even. This is the dream I’ve always had in my heart, and most importantly, …
Another holiday, another last minute holiday shirt for the kiddo. Whoops! The inspiration for this one comes from a super cute handprint flag art project I found on Things to Remember and Share. I love how simple and toddler friendly the design is and thought …
