One of the last steps of putting Christmas decor away is switching over to a new holiday. My tile mat is not exception. I switched out the old Christmas design and deep cleaned it with dawn dish soap. Then, I removed the tiles, cleaned those off with dawn dish soap again and then dried everything off. This gave me a clean slate to start working on the new Valentines Day tile mat designs! Let me show you what I created for you!

I had window treatments throughout my house that I kind of just threw up when we first moved into our house. As I've redone every room, I have started changing those window treatments and replacing them with something I absolutely love. So let's talk about how having the right window treatments can really elevate a space and my process in choosing the right window treatments.

If you're new here; Hi, I'm Emily, I have ADHD and I love to label everything! One of the questions I get frequently is how I make all of my labels. Long story short, I do it using my Cricut. I have a Cricut Explore 3, which was actually gifted to me by Cricut a few years ago when I worked with them on a campaign, but I had bought myself a Cricut Explore 2 the year before, and I was using it to make labels then too. Like I said, I love labels! So let's talk about the steps it takes to make a label with the Cricut.

A jig is something that you use to help make a DIY task easier. I use them a lot and want to recommend the best to you too! I'm really going to focus on the jigs that I have personally used because I have hands on experience with them. So, let's talk about my favorite tool jigs that I use for my DIY projects.

I very often have lots of scrap wood left over from different projects I have done. My mom requested an umbrella holder so she could hang it on the wall in her garage where the umbrellas could be out of the way and off the floor. I decided to take some of the scrap wood I had laying around and make an umbrella stand for her. This was a really easy project with very few materials and I'm going to walk you through how to do it!

 A comment I get a lot, especially when I share videos about home organization, is that I'm very organized. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 16 so since then I have learned a lot of different things that I can do that help manage my ADHD. One of those things is staying organized. Organization is not a skill that I come by naturally. In fact, as a kid, I very distinctly remember cleaning up my room one day and a friend that I grew up with came over and said "wow, I didn't even know you had a floor in your room!" It is something that I work towards every single day. I'm constantly reorganizing things in order to stay on top of it. So today I want to share with you some of my home organization tips to help you stay more organized in case you're neurodivergent or you have trouble staying organized as well.

I wanted to hang a new calendar on the wall in the loft, but didn't like any that I was finding in stores so I decided to make my own! I figured I would show you how to make your own acrylic wall calendar too. If you have a Cricut, this will be super easy with minimal supplies. Let's get started!

2023 was quite the year, both for our family and content wise! So let's do a quick little recap of the year as a whole.

 My parents moved into the house they live in now in 2020. When they did my dad had this massive closet that he was not using most of. So he asked me to redo to make it a little bit more functional for him. Since he was only using a fraction of it we decided to dedicate the half he wasn't using to storage. The previous owner of this home had really random cabinets in the space that had locks on them as well as outlets and vents (frankly, very bizarre in my opinion) and there were so many more drawers than my dad ever would need. So I got to work using what I could that was leftover from the previous owner to make an adequate storage solution happen while keeping the integrity of the closet.

 Clamps are some of the most useful tools that you can have in your DIY arsenal, but not all clamps are made the same, nor are they made to do the same things. So, let's talk about the different clamps that I use when I do a DIY project.

I've made a few fun DIY Christmas crafts to add to our Christmas decor this year that I want to share with you. Some are repurposing old things, some are adding to new things and some are taking a whole new idea and creating my own spin. Lets get started!

A multi tool is a power tool capable of taking on a bunch of different DIY jobs. The one I have is the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 3 Speed Oscillating Multi tool. I love this tool because it can be used for SO many different things. It has a head that you can put different attachments onto. I mostly use it for cutting, but you can also use it for sanding and polishing. Let's talk about it!
