Quotes for Kid Spaces
Isn't this play room stunning? It was featured in the spring edition of Lonny Magazine (and spotted by me at Chic & Cheap Nursery). My favorite part is the large scale quote on the wall. You may not be ready to make such a grand statement in your home, but there are lots of other ways to incorporate the written word into kid spaces. And I just happen to have a whole file of quotes saved up. For example, I found this free printable over at Making It Lovely a while … [Read more...]

7 Tips for Birthday Party Success
I know what you're thinking - another train party? I admit, C's 2nd birthday was centered on a very unoriginal theme, complete with one very large Thomas balloon. What can I say? A train party he wanted so a train party he got. It's as simple as that. And even had I wanted to give C one of those gorgeous, picture perfect parties floating around the web - frankly, I just don't have the required skills. But stick with me and have a look at some of the details that went into C's … [Read more...]

Stylish and Stimulating Storage for Kids
I've got a few spots in my house right now that are crying out to be reorganized. There's the area in the playroom where a changing table now resides (but will soon be vacant) as well as a little real estate in the living room that's just begging for some storage bins. For the former, I would love to do something like this Montessori sensorial, music, and language arts space at montessori home schooling. The orderly setup of this area makes each item seem so interesting and inviting. I … [Read more...]
Fresh Finds: Maps & Globes with a Twist

Everything about it is note perfect - the airiness, the bedding, the pops of color, and especially the maps. I've actually been collecting ideas on how to integrate maps and globes into kid spaces for a while now. I know what you're thinking, who hasn't? But most of my finds go beyond your standard map and this photo has compelled me to finally post about them. Click through for all kinds … [Read more...]
A Quick, Easy, and Super Cool Kid Photography Project
I've been seeing lots of creative kid photography projects lately but this is by far one of my favorites.

So instead of using the photo I found, I took 5 minutes and made my own. The process is extremely simple. Just choose a picture with lots of open space on one side. Then use your photo editing software of choice to add some text about your … [Read more...]
