Everyone loves a good game of Would You Rather? right?!! (If only to see how strangely morbid the people that you know are.) I was hanging out with my best friend Brem and asking him Would You Rather? questions.

Surprisingly he didn’t answer. Babies just don’t get it.

So of course I thought to ask my other best friends and see what you think!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the ultimate game of Would You Rather? Take a few minutes to answer the questions and next week I’ll share the responses! Also, if you have an awesome Would You Rather? question that is related to Home or DIY, leave it in the comments below, my favorite will win one of my must have tools, a DeWalt Jig Saw!!

 

Hey guys! Holy. Its been a minute right? The last 2 weeks have been bananas (hence the radio silence) so I wanted to pop in with a life update!

But first. Can we talk about Musical.ly? YOU GUYS. It is HORRIFYING. If you’re unfamiliar or don’t have a teenager consider yourself blessed. Musical.ly is an app and new form of social media where kids sort of lip sync to songs and sound bites. Sounds relatively harmless right? No. literally every single video on it is so cringey. Ivie’s greatest joy in life is to spring one on me and it leave me reeling for 15 minutes because of the sheer amount of secondhand embarrassment. Its physically painful in a way that I’ve never experienced before. Its like watching the worst Dr. Pimple Popper video ever (which is this one BTW) on repeat with zero anonymity for the tweens. Yes, we as teenagers had headgear, perms, and scrunchies. But this is so much worse. I tell Ivie every time she is tempted to post one of these horrific videos that the internet never forgets.

Ok now that I have that off my chest, let talk about the 2 weeks of travels!

I started off in LA filming some video with my friends at Wayfair. It was awesome! We shot 4 videos that should be out in a couple of weeks, I’ll make sure to keep you guys posted! I love the insight that new experiences like this give to the TV world. I’m feeling a resurgence of the show dream, so any type of experience that I can get I’m all over it!

All you mamas and mamas-to-be listen up!

There is this thing that happens to your house when you’ve got a new baby in your life. Its called EVERYTHING IS DANGEROUS.

When Mr. Brem started crawling around and pulling himself up on things it was like I could hear slasher music every time he got close to anything. There are SO MANY CORNERS! I mean, I knew I needed to get rid of my cacti and other plant friends that lived close to the grasp of the boy wonder but the more mobile he gets the more things are carted off to the storage unit.

Naturally, as the baby proofing gets more severe I become way more educated on what is worth the $$ and what isn’t.

At the top of my list was a baby gate. We don’t have stairs so I didn’t feel the need to DIY a permanent one, I just need to keep the kid contained a little bit better. The problem that I was running into was that like most baby gear, companies think that it has to look like a baby would LOVE it.

Newsflash. Babies don’t care if the gate has cartoon jungle animals on it, but you know who does care?

Me.

Deeply.
