The Big Girl Bed 26 Aug 2013 | 03:41 pm

A Big Girl Bed: putting it together 23 Aug 2013 | 06:08 pm
The big girl bed transition turned out to be so much easier than I thought. Clearly she was ready...a lot like potty training, I suppose. I couldn't bare taking down the alphabet wall, so I left that...

Just the sight of Wendy's book made me want to dive right in. I knew with just the first few pages that I'd be amazed...and to be truthful, amazed is an understatement. Wendy and her partner Mikey aba...
Would you paint a lampshade? 5 Aug 2013 | 06:11 pm
So, maybe you remember the little nightlight lamp from Ross's room...that I was not all too thrilled about...? Well, a while ago I happened to salvage this left over paint sample from Home Depot for ...
Thrifting: with Kids 2 Aug 2013 | 03:51 pm
If you're a mother (or a father) then you already know how agonizing shopping with children can be... "WATCH THE CARS!" "Stay close to the stroller!" "Don't touch!" "No, we can't buy that." "We don't...
