I don't know about you but when I go to my local hardware store it can get pretty overwhelming with all the different types of choices out there. 😕

Recently, I was there looking for a paint roller to use for epoxying the garage floor and it really hit me just how many different nap sizes there serving a variety of purposes. 🤯

Let's start with nap size, what does that even mean? 🤓

✨ The nap is the thickness of the roller cover.

Essentially thinner sizes are great for smoother surfaces and thicker sizes are for rougher surfaces.

This is because thicker naps hold more paint, helping get it into the crevices and valleys of the texture. Smaller naps are better for smoother surfaces since the rollers picks up less paint.

So here's a little reference guide I've put together based on what I've learned as well!

Be sure to save this guide for future reference and follow along for more diy tips, tricks, and hacks!

Next week: 🛑 stop using the wrong size brush!

In Stock.

As soon as I saw those words for the ever elusive Ikea flisat table, I was determined to get the table this time around, no matter what, 😬. I've been waiting for months for this to get restocked! Spoiler alert, ultimately I STILL wasn't able to get it directly from Ikea but from a kind soul on FBMP who had grabbed an extra and actually sold it to me at the listed price.

Since my son's starting kindergarten this September, it just felt like it was time to update this space in preparation and to be aligned with his current interests and abilities. So in addition to the table I grabbed the Ikea Skadis pegboard, and some pegboard accessories.

And honestly it's been such a hit! The sensory table has been phenomenal in engaging my son for hours at a time every single time he uses it 🤯. If you've thinking of getting one for your kids, here's your sign to get one (no this isn't an ad haha, just a love letter to the Ikea FLISAT table that I genuinely love so much! 😍)

Save this 🛒 📃 for reference! ❤️

Ikea items:
- 1 x FLISAT table
- 1 x TROFAST storage tray with compartments
- 2 x TROFAST storage boxes 7 ¾x11 ¾x4 (the larger ones were out of stock)
- 1 x SKÅDIS pegboard 30x22
- 2 x SKÅDIS shelf
- 1 x SKÅDIS magazine holder
- 1 x SKÅDIS clip (2 pack)
- 4 x SKÅDIS container
- 1 x SKÅDIS hook (5 pack)
- 1 x FEJKA artificial potted plant
- bench is from FBMP

Now that the weather is nicer and the garage isn't freezing ❄ , more builds and DIYs to come - stay tuned!

🌙 Ramadan Baskets🌙

This is the first year I'm doing a Ramadan basket since A is 3 years old now and understands. I was originally just making him a basket but then I saw make a baby inspired one and I thought why not let Z in on the fun too!

I want to disclose that this is mixture of new, old (half the books) or unopened items that I already had at home (playdoh, makers, crayons). In Zayn's case, it's all new with the exception of 2 items kindly passed on from his older brother (see: Camel and doll). Point being, search your own home to see what you can use or make, the point is to get them excited about this month 😊

These items are based on my kids current interests but hopefully this can inspire you!

My 100th post.

So here's a throwback to the OG IG format of photos.

A closer look at one of my Ramadan corners around the house. (It's actually a sneak peak into an area of the house I've been working on behind the 'gram scenes, more on this in a future post though!)

With snows days here left and right, thought it was time to bring out this month's candle from . Dark rose and labdanum by , 👌🏾 with the perfect scent of intrigue.
