In this post, I’m sharing the best unfinished basement ideas on a budget!
We have moved into our new home and renovation has been going on for 2 weeks now. The basement was the first thing to be completed. The basement was considered unfinished and our goal was to make the room feel like a more comfortable and inviting space for us to use. The plan is to use the basement as our homeschool room with a baby/toddler play area and no longer use it as a storage space.
The unfinished basement before

These carrot cookies are so yummy and super simple to make. It’s like oatmeal cookies had a baby with carrot cake. This is personally one of my favorite cookie recipes of all time!
These carrot cookies are perfect for Easter/Springtime but you can enjoy these anytime of the year. I am so glad we found this carrot cake recipe from Crunchy Creamy Sweet. They are so soft, chewy, and just plain heavenly.
Ingredients:
Rolled oats: it is best to use old fashion oats not quick
Flour: all-purpose flour
Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt
Leavening: baking powder and baking soda

As you can imagine, a large family of seven (at the time) sharing one bathroom is not ideal. So when we first moved in, we were so relieved to have two full bathrooms. BUT to our disappointment, we discovered the kids’ bathroom is NOT usable. So as a family of now nine, we are still sh ..read more
