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. We finally got our neutral couch and neutral walls and then it was like, now what? Well we have been working away at adding color and personality, which I shared with you here, here, here, here, here and here. ...

First I got a piece of paper, some washable red paint and a little heart I cut from foam. The plan was to have both kids hand prints have a heart in the palm ...
My Valentine’s Wall
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.
