If you’re looking for a way to entertain your kids these Christmas holidays or just want to convince them to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, this fun project might be just what you need! This week, Melissa’s installing a cubby house in a plain backyard. But this isn’t just any cubby – with some fun planting and a bit of decorating, this cubby will be bursting with style and personality.
