    Playhouse Makeover

    Before Christmas 2019, Baker started asking for a “swing set” from Santa. At the time, she was terrified of swinging so we knew what she really meant was a playset with a slide.

Once we decided to paint our house, we knew that our old shutters weren’t going to make the cut. So I headed to Lowe’s one afternoon to get a price on new ones and was shocked to see that it’d be almost $300 to get the board and batten shutters that…
