Wordless Wednesday: DIY
This week we asked: What does doing it yourself look like?
(Read more about striving for balance in personal and family life on our resource page.)
From Shannon of Pineapples & Artichokes: “One of my most recent canning projects. 15 lbs of cherries turned into maraschino cherries, brandied cherries, and cherry jam. My canning buddy and I also made mint and lavender syrups.”

From Lauren: “Something about the nesting instinct made me think it was a good idea to stand on a stepladder to paint cabinets at 38 weeks pregnant.”
Mikko (at 3 years old) knows the truth: DIY is exhausting.

I love that Lauren is wearing gloves to paint, but has paint on her sweater. 😉
As you might be able to guess, that is NOT my sweater. That is one of Sam’s XL grubbies that he wears for DIY and was all that would fit me at that point! 😀 (Same with the pants!)
For anyone concerned, I was using VOC-free paint, but I still wanted to be cautious around the baby and not ingest or absorb anything. Hence, the gloves!
