Holiday Gift Guide: Moms Who Only Ask for “Quality Time”

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, we’re kicking off the holiday season with five days of gift guides for the trickiest among us. Do you have a friend who’s a HBIC and buys everything herself? Or if you’ve got a dad who used to be into fitness but now just really loves puzzles. No matter how tricky they are, you can’t show up empty handed and we’ve got you covered. Launching into our first gift guide: Moms who only ask for “quality time”.

HP Sprocket Printer

Let mom turn all that quality time into memories she can print and keep forever. If she’s going to insist on taking the photos, she might as well get a few printed and off her phone.

Local Cooking Class or Art Class for Two

Look, you know the only thing your mom really wants is to hang out with you. Guarantee some quality time together and book a fun class around town. Whether it’s a pottery session, a cooking class for the two of you, or a wine and paint night, she’ll love it. A local Sur La Table may even offer classes.

In-cup tea infuser

It’s time to take your mom’s tea game up a notch. Pair this tea infuser with a nice selection of tea leaves and she’ll forget she ever drank Lipton.

Madewell Clutch

Who doesn’t love a nice leather good? Treat your mom to something pretty that she can use for travel or even just organizing her purse (because she keeps EVERYTHING in there). Even better? Throw in some fun beauty or bath products too.

Pet Paw Print Ornaments

Remind your mom that not all grandchildren are of the human variety. Make one of these paw print ornaments so she can be reminded of her furry grandkids this Christmas. Also makes a great thank you gift when she pet sits for the millionth time without complaining. DIY these ornaments yourself with Sculpey and mini stamps to imprint names.

Attaching a wood fence to a chainlink fence

As I mentioned in my last fence/gate update post, I helped Erika attach a wood fence to the chainlink fence in her backyard. The process was similar to when I converted a chainlink fence to a wood fence, except in this case, we left the chainlink fence intact. This method is a good option if you want to add a little more privacy to your yard or camouflage a chainlink fence while you wait to save up for a completely new fence.

Obsessions: 10.19.18

You wanna know what we have been decidedly NOT obsessed with in the past month? The blog. Womp womp. We’re hopping back in this week, but we’ll be posting a bit more sporadically for a while. Here’s hoping you all loved getting caught up on Michelle’s driveway gate plans yesterday. See what else we’ve been obsessed with in this week’s And Then We Tried Obsessions.

Fence Updates and Two-Panel Wood Driveway Gate Plans

Hellooooo, I’m thinking about fences again! You all had the pleasure of following along as I moved and rebuilt the fence in my backyard and then converted a chainlink fence into a wood fence along my driveway, and now it’s finally time to build that driveway gate. Of course, I can’t just build a driveway gate and leave it at that, I’ve also decided to cap the entire fence to cover up the dogear pickets and give everything a cleaner and more finished look. HOORAY!
