Seriously such a cool product and perfect for renters because it peels off walls too 🤯🙌

Comment PAINT and I’ll send you the link to what I used.

I honestly never questioned whether this would be too small for my kids. They were part of the design process from day 1, and we built it around what they wanted and how they actually play.

BUT then I posted it… and after hearing over and over that it was too small, I started questioning everything 😩 “Did I really just spend all that time and money building something they wouldn’t even use?!”

And then my kids reminded me why I built it in the first place. They play out here all the time, and they’ve shown me that it’s the perfect size for them ❤️

Now I just need to figure out how to keep the balls from flying over that hill 😂

I turned a picture frame into a SECRET storage cabinet and my kids LOVE hiding all their stuff in there! 👀

Here’s how I built it:
✔️Built a 1x3 pine frame with 2 shelves (screwed + glued corners)
✔️Added small wood blocks inside the picture frame so the hinges had a solid spot to mount.
✔️Screwed a scrap wood block (2x2) into wall studs, then hung the cabinet right on top…no drywall anchors needed but makes it so sturdy to hold everything.

DIY Sports Field | Part 2

Earlier mornings are officially here now that my oldest is in middle school, so I built this hidden picture frame cabinet to save our bedtime routine! 🤫

How I made it 👇
Built a shallow box to fit behind our frame using a 1x3, screws, hinges, and a catch magnet.
Filled the holes, sanded, and painted it to match.
Mounted it securely into the studs!

We keep our OLLY Kids Sleep gummies in here for whenever the kids are feeling too giddy at bedtime to be back in school 😴

Would your kids love a secret storage spot like this? 👇

Thrifted screen-free wind-down baskets to help us ease back into the school routine ✨

Swapping screens for quiet activities makes bedtime so much smoother. We love including OLLY Kids Sleep gummies on occasion, to help them transition into a calm, bedtime headspace* 💜 (And I grab the adult sleep gummies on occasion for myself too!)

I knew this was going to be a lot of work… but I did NOT realize I was basically trying to excavate a small section of the earth’s crust 🙃

Thankfully, the husband eventually stepped in and saved the day because at the rate I was going, we’d be finishing this sometime in 2027 😂

But the dirt is officially dug, which means we can FINALLY start turning this into the backyard field my kids have been begging for.

Follow along for Part 2 because I have a feeling this is where it starts getting fun 👀
