With Eleanor's room update and the little pumpkin turning one on Saturday (AHH! How did that happen so fast?), I thought I would whip up something special for her room. I have been totally crushing on embroidery hoop art. I have seen lots of people put fabric they adore inside, but I wanted something a little more special for Eleanor. (You know? Turning one and all.) I went to Walmart to pick up some Painters Paint Markers by Elmers. You can find out more about how to #ExpressYourself with ...

Our Living Room
It is gorgeous out today! I mean GORGEOUS! The kiddos and I went to the zoo. We do that a lot around here. It is super close, we have a zoo pass and aside from the animals there is a really awesome playground. So I am keeping today's post short, because it is too nice to be jabbering away.
