My working and parenting lives collide with each other and sometimes sparkle.

When inspirations come to a busy life, they remind me to slow down and enjoy the process.
Halloween Inflatable Brightness Enhancement
I was stunned by seeing these two-year-old inflatables being so dimmed this year (before the one hour transformation - Viola in the video) so I quickly searched YouTube for solutions. Didn’t think it’s actually quite manageable to replace the LED lights inside the tree and the dinosaur. I don’t mind spending a little on the new lights ($1/ea) moving forward for having our front yard Halloween party keep going!
Moon Cake Birthday Cake Tower
This year I took the advantage celebrating my birthday with Moon festival (lunar calendar) because they are just two days apart. Can't be more proud of my cake tower design with the actual "Moon" by reusing my son's cupcake illuminating stand.
Guest Bedroom Upgrade
I’ve been tackling this window in our guest bedroom for it's unique size and bright lighting for being on the second floor. Issues such as:
Too small for custom made shades, like our other cordless pull-up/down shades.
Dark window film still reveals bright lines around it and the lines from cut are just NOT straight!
Maybe some faux flowers could cover up some cut line flaws from the dark film? Not practical for decorative purposes.
Until this moment, I can finally say I did a good job and in a frugal way!
Curtain rod $15 - the shortest I can find for a 20” wide window!
Recycled IKEA curtain fabrics from our first apartment, which are already >10 years old! But still in a good condition!
Curtain strap from my previously used Macrame Plant Hanger! You don’t believe how elegant it looks until you try!
Hanging Plants Restyle
Started with the idea of self-watering device/pot and then realized how tough it was to untangle and rearrange the plants!
