Kid’s Shoe Storage

Nothing spectacular today, but since it took me forever and a day to come up with this, I figured it was worth sharing.   May I present … what to do with your changing table when it’s no longer needed to change the babies.   Our back-up/second changing table fit perfectly into Jemma’s closet and […]

Welcome to Our Living Room

Let me start off by saying that my house does not always looks like this. Actually, quite rarely. Most days Rody is galloping in the middle of the living room and Noah’s Ark and the accompanying animals are waiting to trip you. Most mornings Max is busy building a tower in front of the slide […]

But that’s why I’m sharing, because overcoming lies is an ongoing journey and one […]

Word of the Year: Thrive
