I don't know about you but I don't have a sewing machine, nor do I really have the patience to try and hand sew myself a face mask for when I need to go out of the house and run my essential errands.

But with the way life and home ownership works, you have to prioritize the projects that NEED to be done before the projects you WANT to be done. You also have to manage your time and go with projects that will fit in that time as well as give yourself breaks because it's easy to get burnt out when you're doing the projects yourself. The first big project we tackled was our kitchen ... Read more...
