DIY :: Fun Decor Ideas for Children’s Rooms
Decorating your children’s room can be so much fun! Especially if they join in and contribute with artwork that you can frame and include in their room. While pregnant, I must have looked at a ton of décor magazines (life before Pinterest) looking for ideas for her nursery. Thank goodness I came across the store and website Room & Board because they were offering some more modern ideas – such as polka dots (you can purchase the decals on Amazon), simple furniture and knitted dolls. I used their catalogue for ideas and went about sourcing a cheaper way to incorporate some of the into her room. You don’t have to break the bank decorating your…

Things to Do When the Kids are Sick
Image courtesy of Flickr About a week before Christmas, my daughter and I caught that cold that is going around and were in bed for about two days. Of course, she recovered in no time and I was feeling bad for over a week. I sure wish I had her little immune system! We literally spent the two days in bed recovering watching movies. Thank goodness for Netflix and their huge array of movie options that is for sure! If you find yourself or your family sick in bed – here are is a list of movie options that Netflix put together for families to enjoy. Plus they provided us with some…

A Time of Reflection and Planning for the New Year
It seems like this year has gone by in a blur. There were so many wonderful things that we celebrated together as a family – like my daughter starting first grade, learning how to read, finishing her first YMCA triathlon for kids and has the medal hanging in her room that she likes to show anyone who comes to visit, to getting a new family dog. We are attempting to teach him that he is a dog and not a human as he so thinks. When I look back at the photo’s I took on my iPhone over the past year, I realize we really did have a great time…

Ring in the New Year with a little celebration! Whether you are celebrating with you and the kids or hosting a New Year’s Party for family and friends, why not celebrate with those you care about and celebrate all that you hope 2014 will be!

Garden :: Holiday Decorating Ideas
This year we are still decorating our front yard and came across some really fun ideas. I absolutely love the vintage TV idea that the blogger at 7th House on the Left came up with and adore this one right below because it is so colorful and easy to reproduce. Why not keep decorating with some fun ideas! We do have two more weeks!

And it won’t cost too much to try out these…

DIY Christmas Craft & Decor Ideas
This year might be the first time in a long time we won’t be getting a Christmas tree. I just don’t think it would be a good idea since our 8 month old puppy is still chewing everything in sight and he will probably think the tree, ornaments and presents are just for him to eat and destroy. So I am planning on making some other holiday crafts that we can make to celebrate the season and put up and away from prying puppy eyes. Hope you enjoy these holiday ideas as well! Felt Ball Garland: I have been seeing these felt balls everywhere and love how…
