Twin toddler room-work in progress

Wanted to share some pictures of our twin toddlers room. We moved a few months back and I really haven’t gotten around to finishing up their room. One BIG change in this house is that their beds are in a line against one wall. I did this in preparation for them wanting to climb out of their cribs. You’ll notice

Toddler Bathroom Wall Art

We recently moved, and with that move came a bathroom just for the twins! HOORAY! Okay, they do have to share it with guests and such since it’s in the hallway and the only bathroom that’s private is the bathroom in the master bedroom. I wanted it to be a fun bathroom, and although I’m not really done with it

Don’t forget the sleeping sign!

Doh! I forgot to put up a sleeping sign when we moved! EEEEKKK! Of course the UPS man comes during naptime. OF COURSE! How to make a sign to not right your bell in less then 5 minutes should really be the topic of this post, because that’s exactly what I did. Oh well, it’s working. For now.

Nursery Art with Fabric: Owl and Bird

Wanted to share what I had in their nursery as art decor. I had the theme of owls and birds but I didn’t want it to be over the top and I wanted to make most of it myself. No better way then with fabric right? I just used some

Best dog ever!

So I know that I may get some negative comments in regards to letting my dog get so close to my kids. I hear ya! But you don’t know my dog. Monty is a cairn terrier, and so unbelievably sweet with the kids. He will let them do anything to him. He is so protective of them too. He will

Chevron white board!

My current obsession is chevron print! Imagine my surprise when I came across this chevron print white board at Target! In grey! It was on clearance which made it even better. I thought I’d put this near my chevron print ottoman, but then decided it would look better in our kitchen, and double as a great spot for me to

What the dog will do for the twins!

Before we had kids, we thought for sure that our dog would be a problem when we did have kids. Being a Cairn Terrier he is FULL of energy and spunk. He gets into trouble (the garbage) and loves human food, although we didn’t ever offer him any. Anytime we would come near a kid he would start barking as

Training them early to help with chores!

I love when I receive my much coveted Potterbarn catalog in the mail. I open each page and just marvel at how clean and perfect each room of the house is. Even the kids catalog shows clean, neat, clutter free rooms. Le, sigh. Enter my home and none of the words I used to explain that catalog come into place.

twin playroom storage: How to have a living space and playroom combined

This is my solution to storing all of the toys on a budget! The bookshelf and baskets are all from IKEA. I just love baskets of all kinds, and think that they look so much better than the clutter that they hid. I was and still am a little weary on how long these baskets will hold up, but so

My couch makeover thanks to uglysofa.com

These are my really comfy, although outdated sofas that we actually got for free! They are filled with down so you can imagine, very very comfy. However, 2 major problems. The first being the color. Who likes burgundy as a sofa color? Well, maybe in the late ’90s it was the home fashion thing to do, but it just doesn’t
