I discovered that removing the gift box lid made these little boxes perfect for a DIY drawer organizer. I’ve used them in my sock… View Post
This post about circular saw blades is sponsored by The Home Depot. When I first started using circular saws, what I knew about the circular saw blades was this: how many teeth the blade has and the size of the blade. Changing the blade was easy…or so I thought….until the day when I couldn’t figure out which way to put the… View Post

I was at the thrift store looking for a leather belt to use for a DIY tablet holder project and while searching for belts–aha!–I could make a mail sorter, too! I… View Post
This post is brought to you in part by The Home Depot. I can’t tell you how long I’d been wanting to build a DIY fire pit in my backyard. But when you can barely manage to finish projects inside of the house, the outside seems that much less important, doesn’t it? Last summer, though, I built this outdoor DIY fire pit in… View Post

The following post is brought to you by The American Cleaning Institute for the #PacketsUp campaign. I’ll be honest with you. Since my children (ages 12, 9, and 7) have been out of diapers, I haven’t given much thought to safety around the house. Okay, I’m probably exaggerating a bit. Of course I don’t want them to lean too close… View Post
