My stress level went down by a million yesterday because I’ve officially baby proofed the stairs!!! IYKYK moms and dads. 😂 I was so excited to build this DIY baby gate. FOR $50!!! 🤯 It was a fun experiment for me, CHEAPER (by $400) than what’s on Etsy, and sooo much cuter than all the other affordable options I found online.
