Karen Cooper

Did you know that it’s a leap year this year? That means an extra day this month — today! So, what should you do with the gift of an extra 24 hours? Here are some ideas.

When I have some extra time, I try to DIY! There are tons of DIY projects you can do in a day, in an afternoon, or in even less time!

If you want to spendĀ even less time on a project, try one of theseĀ projects that take thirty minutes or less, such as rearranging the furniture in a room in your home:
