I made a ‘gazebo on a budget’ – the kids got shade in the pool with my summer hack, it cost nothing
A MOTHER has shared her summer hack that gives her kids something fun to do, while also shading them from the sun.
She was determined to have fun, and it happened with her “gazebo on a budget” trick that cost nothing.
DIY mama Tallulah (@tallulah_b_) enjoys sharing random moments in her life.
In a TikTok video, she put her skills to the test in a budget-friendly way.
She built her own makeshift gazebo outside her home that was both a way to keep her children entertained and also protect them from shade.
Tallulah proudly showed her audience her “gazebo on a budget.”
“So, we all know how hot it is outside, and you can’t mess with a determined mother,” she said at the start of the video.
Her kids wanted to play in the pool, but she wanted to stay shaded, so she got creative.
She cut a quilt cover in half, like a double duvet, and put some trinkets over top of her backyard fence to hold it down.
Then, she chucked the other side over the hanging wash line and secured it with Allen keys at the bottom.
“The kids have got a lovely shade, and I don’t have to worry about them getting sunburned,” she explained.
Many people liked the idea and appreciated the parenting advice.
“You go, girl! A good idea and effective,” a fan praised.
“Great idea. Now that is budget and does the job,” a TikTok user wrote.
“Ahhha. You are my kinda mother. Love this,” another added.
“A determined mother is unstoppable. Facts,” a viewer chimed in.
