Hi! I'm Paisley, Bethany's daughter. I just turned 9 years old! Today, I'm making these amazing scroll saw'd rainbows, and I'm going to show you how to make them too! I do admit, they're not all perfect. But that's part of the charm, right?

Frolicking in the Fall Leaves
Isn't there just SOMETHING about fall that hits you in the cozy spot? Fuzzy sweaters, pumpkin spice, and beautiful/colorful leaves! As much as we love those warm colors and gorgeous scenery, having leaves on our sidewalk gets kinda nasty after they've been trampled. And this was the perfect opportunity for Nick to play with another one of his new toys from STIHL! *This post is ... [ Read More ]
The Twins are EIGHT!
Even though it doesn't necessarily fit the DIY-theme of my blog, I've gotten in the habit of documenting our girls' Birthday every year. These posts are really just an online 'scrapbook' of sorts... for me to be able to look back on. But some of you are pretty invested in their lives and have been around since their babyhood. So these posts are for YOU too! Each year, we take a picture of ... [ Read More ]
Family Vacation – Georgia
This year, we were honored to be asked to speak at the Haven Conference once again! And rather than try to find childcare for our babies, we decided to extend our stay and bring them with us as our FIRST REAL FAMILY VACATION!! It was so fun planning and packing with the girls, and hearing the different things they were most excited about. Our girls have never been on an airplane OR seen the ... [ Read More ]
The Twins are SEVEN!
I'm a a few weeks behind on this post, but I'm not sorry... it's been a CRAZY summer. And one of the most notable events of the summer is the fact that the twins turned SEVEN YEARS OLD. Remember how I used to take pics of the twins in this orange chair every month?! I still love to do it each year on their birthday! These girls made me a mommy and gave me my mom-badge on that HOT July ... [ Read More ]
Convertible Kids Craft Table–Free Building Plans!
Y’all, this winter hasn’t been kind to us. We’ve had pneumonia, tonsillitis, bronchitis, laryngitis, and ear infections sweep through our home, as well as 3 separate rounds of pink eye. We can’t catch a break! Projects have been slow moving around here, but Nick and I have mustered enough energy to drag our booties out to the woodshop here and there and throw around some sawdust. Our most recent ... [ Read More ]
Together in Prague
So I went to Prague. Even though it’s not DIY-related like 90% of my content, I feel an overwhelming need to document this adventure here on my blog! Cause it’s my blog, ya know?! I thought about writing a post something like ‘10 Amazing Things you MUST DO in Prague!!!’ but that’s so formal! Instead, I’ll just share about my journey and post beautiful pics for you to scroll through while you ... [ Read More ]
Summer Recap, and things I love…
Y’all, it’s been an amazing summer! We’ve gotten really good at protecting our schedule and family time (especially in the summers), and have learned to say NO to almost everything. One of my favorite Jen Hatmaker quotes is ‘if it’s not a Hell Yes, it’s a solid NO’. Words to live by. Things that we DID say ‘Hell Yes’ to this summer, included our annual family camping trip (you can read about ... [ Read More ]
The Twins are Six!!!
When I was growing up, all I ever wanted to be was a mommy. And since I have SO MANY brothers and sisters (my parents really like each other), I never in a million years dreamed that I would find myself in the trenches of infertility. (our full infertility story is here) They were the darkest and most painful days of my life, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. And even now, 6 years later, I ... [ Read More ]
Annual Fam Camping 2017
It’s become a bit of a tradition to share our annual family camping adventures here on the blog! I have to admit, after last summer’s camping trip where I unknowingly get a little cozy with a deer tick, and was infected with Lyme Disease, I wasn’t quite as excited to pitch a tent in the wilderness this summer. I have this mama-bear quality where I fiercely want to protect my littles from danger. ... [ Read More ]
