Get involved and see it done your way.. 10.

If you have kids at home, you might be waiting for them to get just a little bit older, a little bit more independent before you get to some of those things you’ve been meaning to do.I know I’ve always felt like I would surely have more time on my hands at some point in the future, just beyond my reach, but of course that time never comes.

At some point, I had to start figuring out how I was going to keep my house clean, grow my blogging business, tackle our renovations, and have a normal family life, all at the same time, regardless of what phase of life we were in.If I didn’t just start getting stuff., then it was just never going to happen.

Right now, Kennedy’s got a crazy travel soccer schedule, Jack’s a typical “into everything” 2 year old, and we’re up to our neck in bathroom and kitchen renovations.It’s so easy for me to feel like I’m a blogger with no time to blog, and a housewife with no time to house, until I remember these little secret weapons that I’ve learned over the last few years, and probably really perfected when Jack was a little baby that I couldn’t.

Lately, I feel like I’m really picking up steam and getting a lot of the things done on my list around the house, and in my work life too.

All just by sticking to these little tricks I’ve learned for making the most of my time!The u-bolts are used to push each crib side outward towards each side of the opening.

We do this by installing them around 2 spindles, one from each crib side so when tightened, the crib sides slide in opposite directions within the channel we created using the l-brackets.Make sure you select to spindles that, when pulled together will push the crib sides out rather than in.. As you can see in the picture, our u-bolts are wrapped around 1 spindle from each crib side.

When tightened, the tension will draw the 2 spindles together, pushing the sides outwards in the direction of the arrows safely securing the baby gate in place..This is where the trial and error may come into play.
