DIY: Repurposing 5-Drawer Chest
Now that the boys have a new room, I decided that those cheap plastic 3 stack drawers just wouldn’t do anymore. And luckily I came across my grandfather’s old chest of drawers that I could repurpose for them. Since this chest of drawers is older than I am, it needed some serious sanding. There were…

Tips for Cleaning & Maintaining Your House
Every day I look around and it feels like my house is a mess. It’s not, it actually just looks like people live here, BUT I live in a fantasy world where I want my house to look like a model home. Completely unrealistic, I know. Not to mention waking up early Saturday morning to…

End of an Era
The countdown begins as I officially go back to work in exactly 1 week. I can’t help being overcome with sadness but at the same time, I feel extremely blessed. Everyone knows that in the U.S. parental leave for both parents is TRASH. Absolute garbage. Most men don’t even get parental leave and if they…
