Home and DIY projects don’t have to be expensive or overwhelming — especially when you’re balancing family life. This section of the blog is all about making your space feel more like home, with practical ideas that are achievable on a realistic budget. From small upgrades to weekend projects and everything in between, you’ll find plenty of real-life inspiration here.
We’re big believers in doing what you can, when you can — with the budget and time you’ve got. Many of these projects use things we already had around the house or found secondhand. I also share honest cleaning tips, renter-friendly hacks, and bits of real-life renovation and decorating chaos that prove you don’t need to be perfect to enjoy your space.
From Cricut projects to shelf styling and organising chaos-prone corners, this is where home life meets creativity. It’s not about aesthetics for Instagram — it’s about making your home work for you and your family.
