Tonight, we did the DIY drop cloth curtain hack 🙌🏻 we bought a 9ft x 12ft drop cloth from WalMart ($17.88), cut it into fourths, popped them in the dryer, and hung! They need to be steamed one good time but you can’t beat 4 curtain panels for that price!

It’s so hard to take those “Instagram worthy” pictures when your house is full of baby swings, jumpers, playmats, action figures, etc. but the honest to God truth is - this swing is a LIFE SAVER - and even if it doesn’t fit in with my decor, I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Sister is napping hard while I unpack boxes, tidy up from yesterday’s game night, and put away allllll the toys scattered all over the house.

We are so blessed to finally be in our new home. Although it’s taken such a long time (shoutout to y’all who have been here since the beginning) and we still have LOTS of projects to finish - I am joyful today!
