Remember when the windchill was 50 below in January? We do, it’s when our mailbox died. The plow came by and the snow had hardened into chunks and just took it out. Landon went out in the blistering cold to fix it. And for weeks after, every time I went to get the mail I found screws on the ground that fell out. And it looked pretty pathetic too. So off to Amazon we went from the comfort of our couch and ordered a new one. And with a 6×6 post, we built it to withstand all future plows. Without further ado, here is how to build a mailbox!

DIY Floating Frame for Vinyl Decals
Sometimes you DIY because no one makes what you want. And sometimes you DIY because it’s more affordable. Then other times, it’s a combination of both, like this DIY floating frame for vinyl decals.

So I took a frame my mom no longer wanted and made it into a floating frame easily and wallet friendly!

How to Make a Baking Conversion Chart with Canva
Growing up I remember baking with my mom on occasion. We always used the same counter spot and it wasn’t the most spacious. But it was where all the baking supplies (flour, sugar, etc) were and close to the mixing bowls and measuring cups and spoons. This little corner also had a *fancy* cabinet door. When the door was opened, a nice laminated baking conversion chart was there to reference as much as needed. After growing up and leaving, I didn’t think much of that chart until recently. I found I was constantly googling conversions. Here is how I made a super easy and simple baking conversion chart for free using Canva.
