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. I don't know when or if it will ever reach that level of completion, but I still want to share it with you. It is ...

Shelf Styling, Because I Like Pretty Things
It is possible to have pretty things and kids at the same time. We kind of have managed to blend the best of both worlds-- mom's pretty things and all the kiddo stuff. So much kiddo stuff.

I'm a huge proponent of reading. If you want to be ...
Boys and their Toys
I first revealed Quinn's room way back when--you can check it out here. Most of his room has stayed just so. It is actually kind of a miracle, since I have a tendency to change things up. A lot! One of the changes we made was adding a bulletin board. I actually picked up the bulletin board for Quinn on his first day of school. I thought it would be fun to give him a place to display his school papers and projects. Right now the hockey poster is taking up most of the space. My sister took him ...
My Heart Is Bursting- A Valentine Classroom Activity
Saturday morning I whipped up this fun and completely reusable Valentine classroom activity. This little number doubles as an activity and Quinn's valentines. This project was completely inspired by my blogging friend Poofy Cheeks Wreck it Ralph Birthday Party. My son became obsessed with it when he saw me reading her blog, but specifically really wanted to punch the windows for a prize. For this project you will need: A science display board, a hot glue gun, cups (I used treat ...
