There are very few things that will keep my 4-year-old entertained longer than 30 minutes, but kinetic sand is definitely one of them! 🙌🏻

Over time, we’ve accumulated a nice little collection of sand and tools, but it became a scattered mess that was hard for him to find and play with. 😩

So I assembled an easy-carry kinetic sand caddy and we’re BOTH loving it! 😎

Stop by the blog today to see what we’re using and why it’s working so well!

It’s Coffee Break Friday, friends! ☕️

In this month’s behind-the-blog break, I’m chatting about:

⭐️ Taylor Swift (I mean, who isn’t these days?)
⭐️ A funny thing that happens each time we move (maybe it happens to you too?)
⭐️ And how I first got started decorating our rentals!
This one’s a good one, friends. So grab a cup and let’s catch up!

These days, we are constantly running from one kid activity to the next. 🤪

And the scramble to have the right gear at the right time has been a bit...ummm...stressful! 😩

So I whipped up some dedicated sacks for each activity, and now we just grab-and-go! 🤗

Full how-to on the blog today!

One of my favorite rental “hacks” is to skip long curtains in favor of valances. 😎

They tend to be a quicker, easier, AND cheaper way to put something (rather than nothing) on your windows!

Over on the blog today, I’m breaking down 6 different ways to DIY some window valances.

No matter your style, there is surely a version that can work in your home! 🙌🏻
