🪨 Weekend Project: Front Walkway Glow-Up

We tackled the front walkway this weekend—added some Riverstone and plastic edging to clean up the look and keep everything in place. Simple materials, big difference!

The best part? The kids got in on it too—hauling stones, pressing in edging, and getting just the right amount of dirt under their nails.

One of those projects that makes the house feel more like home.

šŸ› ļøšŸ” Basement Swing Dreams!

Today’s project: hanging a swing right from the rafters in the basement for the kids.

Because even when the weather’s bad (or let’s be honest—when the energy levels are way too high), there’s always a way to keep the fun rolling. šŸŽ‰

A couple of solid anchors, some sturdy rope, and now we’ve got a little playground inside the house. Their faces when they tried it for the first time? Absolutely worth it.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the best memories.

šŸ”‹šŸ›» Testing Knock-Off Milwaukee Batteries… In a Pink Power Wheels!

Today’s experiment: seeing if some off-brand Milwaukee batteries could power the kids’ pink Power Wheel. šŸ›»šŸ’Ø

āœ… Verdict: They work…

āŒ But definitely not as strong or long-lasting as the real deal.

Still, seeing that little pink truck roll across the yard made it totally worth it. Sometimes you just gotta test things for yourself! šŸ˜‚šŸ”§

šŸ„›āœØ First Batch of Homemade Yogurt!

We finally made our own yogurt at home, and it was way easier than we thought! Using just milk and a bit of store-bought yogurt with live cultures, we whipped up a full 4L batch—and it turned out so creamy and good.

Here’s how we did it:

1ļøāƒ£ Heat 4L of whole milk to about 180°F (just below boiling)

2ļøāƒ£ Cool it down to around 110°F

3ļøāƒ£ Stir in 4–6 tablespoons of plain yogurt with active cultures

4ļøāƒ£ Pour it into jars, cover, and keep warm for 6–12 hours (we used the oven with the light on!)

5ļøāƒ£ Chill in the fridge, and boom—homemade yogurt!

We’ll definitely be making more (and trying some fun flavors next time). Anyone else into fermenting or homestead-style recipes?

šŸ‘œāœØ Built My Little One Her Very Own Purse Cubby Today!

She’s got a whole collection of purses—tiny ones, sparkly ones, ones with zippers she can’t stop opening. So today, we made her a dedicated purse cubby to keep them all organized (and off the floor!).

It’s more than storage—it’s about creating space for the things she loves and showing her that her little treasures matter. One proud girl, one custom cubby, and a whole lotta heart.

Spotted these old cable cutters half-buried in the ice—and you know I couldn’t resist giving them a second chance. A little elbow grease, some pepsi rust remover, and a lot of satisfaction watching the grime disappear.
