I wanted to break this down in a few posts, but I am just so excited to show you it I cannot sit on it anymore. I figure I can give you the run down on a few things in future posts.

When we first hung the gallery wall I didn't know that we would be switching out the art and playing with it as much as ...

Trusting Your Mommy Instinct
If you are Facebook friend (if not, why not give us the good old thumbs up?) you probably know that we have been dealing with all kinds of crazy, miserable sickness around here. Quite frankly, I have never seen my three-year-old like this. This weekend he was beyond miserable, crying and then the fever. When a rash developed we knew it was time to take him in.
