New Friends and Creative Gifts
Letâs be real: Covid sucked. No sugar coating it. But like with most hard seasons, a few incredible things came out of it. One of the best for me was finding this responsible, tough, and fiercely loyal crew of women who became my family. I never thought Iâd make new friends outside of my already…

The Laundry Closet Makeover
When we converted part of our garage into a home gym, we lost a good amount of storage space. That meant I needed to rethink and optimize the space in the laundry closet above our washer and dryer. The original cabinets werenât cutting it â they left a lot of wasted vertical space. Since the…

How I Keep My House Clean Without Spending All My Time Cleaning
When I lived in my 875-square-foot condo, deep cleaning was a breeze. I could knock it out in just a few hours and feel like the whole place sparkled.

Dog-Proofing Our Backyard + Rock Landscaping Timelapse
The very first project my husband and I tackled after buying our first home was dog-proofing the backyardâand making it California drought-resistant. It was definitely a ârip it all out and start freshâ kind of job. Our yard was overrun with tangled bushes (hello, black widows đą), and it just wasnât a safe or functional…

Craft Closet Refresh: One Shelf Closer to Organized
This is the last closet in our house I havenât fully dialed inâuntil now. Itâs getting closer! When we first moved in about three years ago, I loved that this closet was extra deep (thanks to the washer and dryer behind it). It originally held my craft supplies, holiday decorations, and a few sentimental itemsâlike…
