Years ago, before our kids were born, we transformed an old IKEA armchair into a nursery rocker with just a few simple parts. It took less than an hour, cost under $60, and turned out to be the perfect spot for late-night feedings and cuddles!

A few years ago we built these scalloped bookshelves and they've moved with us from house to house and from nursery to playroom! We made it by cutting these wood circles in half and attaching them to some scrap wood.

Plus, check out our list of some of our favorite books lining the shelf.

This might be one of my favorite simple DIY home hacks!

We had this unsightly electrical panel right in the middle of our hallway, and I knew I wanted to hide it with our gallery wall. So, I added a hinged frame to conceal it while still keeping it easily accessible when needed.

And how great do these frames look? Total game-changer!

We've hit that point in winter where I’d happily stay in the warm shower all night, just soaking in the heat. It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since we wrapped up our complete master bathroom remodel. While the chill in the air certainly makes it tempting to stay put, I also just can’t get enough of how this space turned out. It’s tough to pick a favorite element—I love all the little details.

Look, it may be cold as hell out there. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a nice cold delicious treat (while bundled up in your favorite fuzzy blanket, of course).

We are in LOVE with our Ninja Creami, which basically makes the most delicious, healthy, homemade ice cream. It's like your own blizzard or mcflurry without having to leave your own house! THE. DREAM.

Avoid the Sunday scaries with an ice cream sundae.

The holidays may be behind us, but it’s never too early to prep your guest room for next year!

We're almost out of the stroller phase in our family, and it's definitely a bittersweet moment.

We bought this collapsible stroller after hearing rave reviews from some of our travel-savvy friends, who swore it was a must-have for family trips. And they weren’t wrong!

I wish I had kept track of all the times TSA agents or waitstaff's eyes widened when they saw us collapse it down to the size of a briefcase.

If you're looking for a new travel stroller—or even something a little more discreet for everyday use—we can’t recommend this one enough.

Don't let the other parents (and non-parents) judge you for letting your kids enjoy some tablet time. Especially during travel or other boring times for kids.

We love this Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet, which has saved many a meltdown.

An in-drawer charging outlet has been on my wish list for years and now that I have one, I can confidently say it should be on yours, too. It’s just as life-changing for the clutter and the organization as my busy mum DIYer self had hoped for, and I’m all about taking those easy wins when I can get ‘em.

Who says a toilet can't be fancy?!

We swapped out our old, silver handle that came with the toilet for this polished brass one, that elevated our bathroom way more than we would have thought.

We also recently switched to a bidet, and it's also been a gamechanger! Both are easy to fit on (no need to be a plumbing expert)!

This little DIY was oddly therapeutic. I had set out to refresh the stained, discolored grout in our guest bathroom because we’ve got our house on the market and it’s one of the last things really bringin’ down the vibe in there. Thankfully, grout pens exist.

Making a gallery wall is probably one of my favorite things, especially when you’re going for the organic mismatched kind of vibe where you can just have fun and don’t need to perfectly measure or line up your nail holes. When I was designing the nursery for Baby #2, I wanted this outdoors-themed nursery gallery wall to feel cohesive but not too matchy-matchy, so I picked a few primary colors then tried to alternate images and artwork, those with words and those without, sizes and frame colors to create that feel.

We had no idea how much this new fence would glow up our whole backyard, but it's added so much privacy (love ya, neighbors) and has us wanting to spend every second outside. If you're thinking about a new fence for the new year, consider a composite fence kit like we used.

The Best Budget-friendly Christmas Printables

You know what’s not holly jolly? Spending obscene amounts of money on Christmas decorations. The thing we’ve learned about being grown ups is that the boxes and boxes of holiday decor you see in the houses of people who’ve got their lives together was probably collected over time. We’re slowly growing our collection of garlands, ornaments and bells over time, but we know we can change out holiday artwork year-to-year by using budget-friendly Christmas printables.
