We are a family that does our projects ourselves…we always DIY. I think we’ve hired someone to do things exactly three times since we purchased our first home. Naturally, our kids want to help and be part of our projects, but sometimes those projects just aren’t suitable for little ones to be helping. We try Continue Reading …
This is the first sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot as part of a series about outdoor DIY projects in the yard.

When we bought our home just over 7 years ago, we knew the only full bath needed to be redone. Outdated, poor quality product covering a cast iron tub and tiles from 1946 that were likely not in great condition-we knew whenever we did the bathroom, it would be an enourmous job.
