Empowering kids through home innovation

Macy thought the new pivoting paper holder was super cool because she could put on a new roll all by herself.

It seems like a small innovation, but first- changing the roll with those spring loaded things is a pain and second- empowering my kids to do more is always a good thing.

I hope whoever thought of this got employee of the month!

That's much better, isn't it? The Kingsley mini widespread fits well with our smaller sink.

I never knew buying a toilet for an old house could be so difficult

Turns out we have a 14 inch rough in (distance from back wall to hole in floor) and the standard now is 12 inches.  The first toilet we purchased from our Home Center was for a 12 inch rough in. It was about 4 inches from the wall and gave no clearance for the sink directly across.

We had to special order a round front (not elongated) toilet with 14 inch rough in.  And there aren’t too many out there. They are mainly discontinued- thanks a lot.
