Tearing off shingles isn’t glamorous
But this method saved my hands
Another section of the roof done
One step closer to a solid top over our heads

The morning haze over the meadow caught me off guard
I didn’t pull over
I just noticed
Sometimes that’s all you need

Taking apart our old climbing wall to make space for something better.
The new setup? A more vertical wall and a Pikler triangle right beside it.
Part 1 of the kids’ climbing zone build.

Spent the afternoon detailing the truck with the kids.
They got hands-on with the hose and polish pads, and we talked about how engines need just three things to run: fuel, spark, and air.
We traced each system—gas line, spark plug wires, air intake—and they started to see how it all fits together.
Most of the video is me testing out a new buffer I grabbed off Amazon that works with my Milwaukee batteries. Feels good to put the gear to work and bring them along for the ride.

What started as a landscaping fix turned into something better.
Instead of battling stubborn tree roots and bringing in truckloads of soil, I built a 12x8 deck expansion off our existing one.
It made the space more usable, turned into a weekend bonding project with the kids, and cost only slightly more than the soil would have.
A reminder that sometimes doing it yourself is the upgrade.

Happy Birthday to the sweetest mama we know
This year’s cake was baked with extra love—because our daughter has officially caught the baking bug. She wanted to make something special all by herself… so we ended up with a chocolate strawberry shortcake that’s full of heart (and icing).
Watching her measure, mix, and decorate—just to make you smile—was the real gift.
We love you. And we’re lucky to be learning from you every day. 💛. #FamilyTraditions #BakingWithKids #HappyBirthdayMama #StrawberryShortcake #LittleBaker #MomLifeMagic #ChocolateCakeLove #HomemadeWithLove #SweetMoments #WildHeartLegacy
Wings anyone? #masterbuilt800 #smoker #wings #wildheartlegacy
Taught my daughter how locks work today — and how to pick one.
Not for mischief, but for mastery.
Understanding how something works gives you more respect for it… and a few extra tools in your toolkit.

Built a gate for the fence today—with help.
One kid grabbed the impact, the other handled cleanup with the blower, and somewhere along the way, the frame turned into a balance beam.
That’s the kind of learning I want them to grow up with: tools, trust, and a little room to play.
