Kids’ Tiny Closet Makeover

February 15, 2023 by Bethany Sy

Our daughter has been living with a very small closet that isn't conducive to her height, or needs, at all. It's so small, and the clothing bar is too high for her to reach, and there is SO much wasted space. Giving the closet a makeover was so fun, and now it's more efficient and meets her needs! Why did I wait so long?! *This post is sponsored by our friends at DAP. Thank you for supporting ... [ Read More ]

We're even using an existing bulletin board, so the skill-level needed here is ... [ Read More ]

Squashing Kids’ Nighttime Fears

November 4, 2022 by Bethany Sy

For about 6 months now, our youngest (Cypress - 7) has been struggling with overwhelming night time fears. She's scared of allllll the things.

DIY Fold-up Stage

July 13, 2020 by Bethany Sy

Our girl Paisley has been a 'performer' since she was a wee toddler, and I've always thought it would be so fun to build a stage or 'theatre' in our house somewhere for her to share all her plays, concerts, and magic shows. This wasn't an option in our old house, but after we moved into our enormous historic home, I've been plotting to make a blank wall in our basement into a stage! Doesn't ... [ Read More ]

Lined Drawstring Backpack Tutorial

April 30, 2020 by Bethany Sy

Every time we go to the park, or for a hike, or to the zoo (or really anything away from home), my kids always ask me to carry their stuff. They find beautiful rocks that they value deeply but don't want to carry. Or their water bottle is too heavy, so naturally they want me to carry it. I could go on and on. Anyway! I've been planning on making each of the girls a lined drawstring backpack ... [ Read More ]
