I don't know how it's possible, but my twins are TWELVE! Time truly does fly. We've gotten in the habit of throwing elaborate (aka EXPENSIVE) parties for our kids in the past, so this year we told them we were going to throw a party on a budget. I'm not sure who came up with the idea for a prom party during our brainstorming session, but it is a BRILLIANT idea for this age group. A chance to ... [ Read More ]
SpotOn GPS Dog Fence
If you follow us on Instagram, you know our boy Reuben passed away of old age last fall. He was 14, and lived a good life, but it was really hard on all of us. He was our first "child", and our kids have always had him around. We knew we would eventually get another dog, but we didn't expect the stars to align so quickly and bring us Remi. He is a mini Australian Shepherd with more energy ... [ Read More ]
The twins are nine!!
Ugh, I think this is a record for being late on writing this post. Their birthday was two and a half months ago. OOPS! ;) Can we blame 2020? These babies that made me a mama 9 years ago are growing up into such lovely young ladies, and I'm so proud! Nick and I fashioned Paisley a 'stage' for her birthday (above), and customized a bike for Dell! Sister has some lonnnnng legs, so she ... [ Read More ]

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 ...

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 ]
