I always thought that when I’d have a home, I’d make all sorts of DIY projects or it. When I was a teen, my mom bought me a book that I call my “bible” – it’s about 4 inches thick, and full of DIY projects.

 

But then motherhood strikes…

And you learn just how hard it is to get out a hammer and nails with little kids around!

 

These simple DIY projects for the home can be done during naptime – and most of them DON’T involve a hammer and nails. I hope you gain some inspiration!
