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 ]
Split / Shared Room for Siblings
I love the idea of my girls sharing a room; whispering and giggling into the night. But lately, they've been expressing their desire to have their own space. After further prodding, I realized the real reason was because they wanted a room of their own TO DECORATE. And then it all made sense! After all, as DIY bloggers, we're constantly painting, rearranging, renovating rooms as they look ... [ 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 ]
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 ]
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 ]
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 ]

The Twins are 5!

I know a lot of you readers have been around our little blog for yearrrrs ... [ Read More ]
