Who am I fooling? I couldn’t even say it with a straight face. She had the totes out and labeled for me! I love decorating early because then we get to leave it up longer! It’s all a strategy. But I’d love to know, do you think it’s too early to decorate for Christmas? #decoration #christmas #porchdecor

There are very few gifts that my wife loves more than custom matching holiday sweaters. Can I take a moment to shoutout @Cricut for making the process so simple! #cricutmade Yes this is an #ad but you all know that I use my Cricut on a weekly basis for so many cool projects, so when they wanted to partner to show how it can be used for holiday gift giving, I was 100% on board! If you have a handy person in your life, I highly recommend a Cricut as a go to gift for them!! They might even make you something fun with it… just saying. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Happy Holidays everyone!!

Stay around for the end to see it at night! My wife saw a 5ft candy cane at the store, so I told her let me try to build it bigger and better before we buy one… And about an hour later, a little paint, and some old Christmas lights, we had a 10 ft candy cane that she liked even more!! If you have 17 extra pumpkin pales laying around, here’s a fun craft you can do… (I don’t expect anyone to have this… but I did see that stores have these pales on extreme clearance right now if you wanted to try to build one) Let me know what you think I should try to build next?!? #Christmas #decorations #candycane

By her reaction, I’d say this was a successful mission. My wife’s always talked about a front porch swing, but I never really thought it was possible with the pitch of our porch ceiling, but in all reality, it was just as simple as a flat ceiling. I built this swing for under $300 and used an old crib mattress for the cushion. Still waiting on the fitted waterproof crib sheets to come in, but my wife’s been swinging in this all day, so I think she likes it. #DIY #porchswing

If you’re looking for a fun DIY project to do for your kids this Holiday season, this might be the one for you! All you need is a painters drop cloth and some paints and you can build your kiddo their very own Santa’s workshop. I had some ribbon laying around so I decided to tie the corners to help keep the form of the table cloth, but you don’t need to do that. I did this last year for my kids and it was a hit, so I knew I had to do it again with a little more Christmas Spirit! If you make one, please send me a picture, I’d love to see it! 🙌 #DIY #blanketfort #tablefort

We had a little Halloween gathering last weekend and this “scare-cuterie” board was a hit amongst the kids and the parents! #charcuterie #halloween #snacks

Could we have bought them? Yes. Was this cheaper and more fun to do it ourselves? Absolutely! We got the rugs for $6 and my daughters helped me pick out the designs and colors we were going to do. Then after delivering them all, we got ice cream and talked about what we want to do for our friends and family for Christmas. #DIY #halloweenrug #diyrug

People always ask if I took art classes, or where I learned how to do pancake characters, and I think it comes back to all the doodles and sketches that I would draw on any piece of paper I could get my hands on. And truthfully, these pancake characters aren’t as difficult as they seem, get a $1 squirt bottle and give it a try! #pancakeart #pancakes #scoobydoo

My mom used to make these stuffed peppers, so I think it’s about time I continue on the tradition with my kids. 🎃 #cooking #halloween #stuffedpeppers

I made these a while back and realized they would be the perfect Halloween costume idea if you’re looking to save a few dollars. I should note that the hot glue came off real great in MOST spots, but there were still a couple spots left over, so maybe use clothes that you don’t mind messing up. Hope everyone has an amazing October! #DIY #halloween #costumes

I’m joking, but she does love it! Do you prefer fall decor or Halloween decor?!? #decoration #fall #dad

I had a friend ask me to build her new dog a house and got me thinking how many other people needed dog houses for their pups. So I went to the hardware store and got to work. It really wasn’t that much harder to make 6 as opposed to 1. Then after I finished I just posted on my local Facebook page to see who needed a dog house and found 5 families who needed them. I guess the demand is pretty high for dog houses, so maybe next time I’ll make a few more. What should I build next?? #DIY #doghouse #build

#ad Her reaction was the best. She really is the most kind person. Thank you @Famous Footwear for making it so simple to find the perfect shoes for my family. #FamousFootwearPartner #MakeitFAMOUS
