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.
I’m going to put this disclaimer loud & proud here at the top of this one… I am in NO which way shape or form an accomplished seamstress and these doll clothes are rudimentary at best. This is less of a Doll Clothes pattern, and …
Happy 2020, folks! With the New Year comes new goals and this year, our family has decided to tackle our Environmental Impact. Reading and hearing about global warming and plastic islands in the oceans has really struck a nerve and makes me concerned about the …
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 …
This project was initially for a friend. She sent me a link on Pinterest and asked if it was something I could pull together. Not only did I pull it together, I recreated it for myself. That’s how you know it was a cute idea! …

Shortly thereafter, a storm came along and knocked the cute fence panels out on the driveway and broke them apart. I’ve patched and repaired the panels multiple times now, but, the gap between the house and garage that needs fenced off creates a wind tunnel that just doesn’t work with the design I had drawn up. Time for a redesign.
It’s getting warmer!! Our patio is perfect for hanging out during the day and playing with sidewalk chalk, but at night, it’s not exactly cozy or comfortable. One quick little DIY upped our Patio Hygge game in a big big way, though – String Lights!
When we purchased our home, the house itself was in need of major repairs but the yard and the view were amazing & sold us on the place. We’ve spent the past 3 years undertaking major renovations indoors so I’m really excited to spend the …
