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…

January is a great time to cozy up on the sofa, with a warming tea, and reflect upon your last year.

Plus throw in the equation that I am not one of those Born Organizers as the Flylady tagged as women who just know how to get and keep it all organized. You probably have some of those friends – you…

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…
