Have you ever seen a Christmas ornament that you love and wish there was a garland to go with it? Well, let's make a really fast DIY ornament garland so that you won't ever have that problem.

I've talked about how magnet tiles are one of the main toys that we brought with us to Argentina because they're such an open ended toy and they're great for both of my kids. After four months here, I felt like it was time to change things up and add an extra element to our magnet tile corner.

If you've been following me for the last four years, you know about my pantry. It has wire shelving (which I hate) and doesn't use the space to its full potential. Well, right before we left for Argentina, there was a mealworm incident in our pantry and I had to rip everything out. I had to put some shelves up because there's a family staying in our house while we are gone, but they are really basic and just meant to be there until I can do something else. So the pantry it is at the top of my list of projects for when we get back from Argentina. Now that we are halfway through our time in Argentina, I'm really starting to think about what I want this pantry to look like and how I'm going to go about tackling the project.

My parents have a beautifully landscaped backyard that the previous owners spent a lot of money and time doing. For the most part my parents are reaping the benefits of it, except for in the back corner. The previous owner used it as a dog run, but my parents don't have dogs so my mom has decided that she wants to do something about this space to make it more usable for the grandkids. She lives 20 minutes away from me in Tennessee and wants to spoil them whenever she is able. We decided it would be so fun to surprise my daughter with an amazing tree house build!

We're going to take a quick pivot from our Argentina content to talk about a previous project. Remember the wall of closets in my mom's house for my grandparents that have now passed away? The one thing I did not do was add edge banding to the drawers and the shelves. So, I figured I would go over why you want to add edge banding to a project and how to do it.

One of the first things I did when I first got to Buenos Aires was go to a local hardware store and buy a set of MDF drawers. Well, they were kind of plain and I really wanted to brighten them up a little bit. So my daughter and I got some paint and paint brushes, and decided to get creative!
