For months my boys have slowly been adding things to their dressers. It started as one small card or lego creation to a full on craze. In their eyes, it is the most beautiful mess. Do you see the beauty as well or do your mom nerves (like mine) kind of cringe too at those pictures? You can see what the chartreuse dresser first looked like here and my son's red dresser/chalkboard wall here. They have reached this age that when I ask them to pick up their room and toys there are things they Continue Reading
When it comes to decorating, go with your gut
Disclaimer: The wall decals I received for free. Thank you RoomMates for so generously gifting those to my boys. All opinions are very much my own. One of the great joys of being a mom for me is creating special places for my kids. I literally dream about it. Taking their interests and joys to heart and using them to inspire a place that they love is so fun. This is my fourth boy bedroom to start and I have learned a few tricks that I want to share with you. If you have been following Continue Reading
DIY Transformer Necklace and Game
On Saturday, my sweet Jeremiah turned four years old. That morning I posted a picture collage which listed things he likes.

In honor of this book and our love for it, I thought I'd paint another famous line. "Let the Wild Rumpus Start!" is Continue Reading
Hair is just hair…right!?!?
I am trying to tell myself hair is just hair, right!?! Caleb has a fascination with his daddy. I'm so glad because Matt is amazing. Ever since Caleb could talk...he has wanted to have a hair cut like his daddy. Matt cuts his own hair and cuts the boys hair, so Caleb has grown up seeing the clippers/"beezers". He has wanted Matt to use the "beezers" on his hair cut for over three years. I have never allowed it. Scissors only! Let's face it. It is adorable that Caleb wants to have a Continue Reading
