I bought a package of those clear marble rocks when they were on sale at Michael's for $1 a while back now. All along I intended on making magnets, it just took me until now to get around to it. I am going to show you how I made them. There might be a better way or you might prefer to work with different adhesives, but this is how I rocked them. These magnets are so fun and simple. They would make a great Mother's day gift. You could even use photos to personalize them. I used a sheet of ...

Reading Corner Update & Added Storage
It is no secret that Quinn's room is one of, if not my favorite room in the house (Check out the reveal here). When I walk into that room it makes me happy.
