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!
