I’ve always dreamed of turning old, junky clothes into something beautiful—something new and wearable. But here’s the catch: I’m not a good sewer. In fact, I don’t even like sewing. I honestly dread it. But for some reason, I just couldn’t shake the idea of making this work. I’ve been holding on to this little…

This year, I realized I didn’t have that many back-to-school decorations — and since I love seasonal decorating, I decided to make a few new things to add some charm and cheer to our space. Most of these crafts were super easy, used supplies I already had on hand, and gave me that cozy, school-days…

Let me just start by saying—I hate potty training. Out of all the parenting stages, it’s hands down my least favorite.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably held onto a few cute bottles after finishing a drink—too pretty to toss, right? I had five random mismatched glass bottles saved up, and with the 4th of July coming up, I decided it was finally time to turn them into something festive and fun. Spoiler alert: I’m…

If you’ve got a couple of ripe bananas sitting on your counter, this banana bread recipe is the perfect way to use them up. With a rich, moist texture and the tangy twist of milk kefir, this loaf is elevated by a hint of cinnamon and the satisfying crunch of walnuts. It’s a cozy treat…

If you’ve never tried baking with milk kefir, you’re in for a treat! I’ve been experimenting with all kinds of ways to use my homemade milk kefir, and one of my favorite discoveries is this simple, delicious Milk Kefir Waffle recipe. The waffles turn out wonderfully fluffy and flavorful, with just a hint of tang…

When we were building our house, we ended up with a pile of construction leftovers — you know, random scraps, offcuts, and pieces too good to toss but not quite useful for building. One of those scraps was a cut-off piece of an I-Joist truss, and as a crafty, decor-loving soul, I couldn’t let it…
