Welcome! I’m Kristin
I live in sunny San Diego with my incredibly handy husband, 3 teen boys, and 3 crazy dogs. I love to share my love for DIY, crafts, recipes, gardening and so much more. My husband and I have enjoyed turning our suburban home into our dream home while remaining functional and practical. We hope to show you it is possible to create beautiful spaces fit for busy families on a budget. I try my best to live a happy, healthy and beautiful life, inspire and be inspired, and embrace my imperfections.
