This post brought to you by BMO Harris Bank N.A. Member FDIC. All opinions are 100% mine. I went to school for education. I really have known no work that wasn't working with kids. I held down babysitting gigs in middle school. Through college I worked at daycare/preschools and summer camps in the summer. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in English and Elementary Education. The summer following graduation I got married and accepted my very first job. I ...
Simple Entertainment

Robot Nursery
I have given you glimpses of Hudson's room-- like this gallery wall. The completely talented husband made all the art and you can get the blast off printable here. Clearly, since baby number three's arrival almost 10 months ago, I have been slacking. The vision I have for this room hasn't been met. I think that is part of why I haven't shared.
