DIY Wall Calendar
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 Recap
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.
Merry Christmas from the Bylunds
We have had a wonderful 2023 with so many new and exciting projects, most notably with the addition of baby brother! We have a lot of really exciting stuff for our family that's happening in 2024, and I can't wait to share it with all of you. Thank you so much for being here, I really appreciate it and am so grateful for each and every one of you. Merry Christmas from our family to yours. I hope you had a wonderful 2023 and that you have an amazing 2024!
My Dad’s Closet Refresh
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.
New Year’s Eve Tile Mat Ideas
We did some Holiday tile mat designs, but now that 2023 is coming to a close let's specifically do some New Year's designs to ring in 2024!
How We Keep a Routine During Winter Break
Keeping a routine during a break from school is especially important to our Neurodivergent house. My husband and I both have ADHD, our daughter is autistic and we have a new baby this year as well. I have inattentive ADHD, which means that I thrive not on a schedule and left to my own devices. I am perfectly content to lay around and do nothing all day. On the other hand, my autistic daughter desperately needs a schedule and routine in order to do well throughout the day. So let's talk about how we manage that during a break from our normal routine.
My Favorite Nativities
My mom has collected nativities for as long as I can remember. She has them from all over the world. In the time that my husband and I have been married, I started have started collecting nativities of my own, including ones that I have got while traveling. They have become some of my favorite treasured Christmas decorations and I want to share a few of my favorites with you. I've rounded up a few of my favorites and a few of my mom's favorites because she has some beautiful ones that I have grown up loving.
The Different Kinds of Clamps I Use to DIY
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.
2023 Christmas Crafts
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!
ND Friendly Holiday Gift Ideas
There are tons of holiday gift guides going around, but I wanted to give you a gift guide is a little more niche: one specifically for the neurodivergent loved one in your life. These are all gifts that we have gotten and have at our home and we absolutely love each them. Obviously every neurodivergent person is going to be different. So that might not be a good fit for them, but this is a good starting point.
How to Use a Multi Tool
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!
