A Dino-Mite New Line from Mini Boden { & $750 Giveaway }

January 20, 2016

We have a thing for dinosaurs. Maggie started liking dinosaurs when she was about 3. We read a book about them and then she spotted a red one at the store and the rest is history.

Friday Favorites: Classic Kids Baby Photography

Babies: they change and grow so incredibly fast.

Creating A Special Place for Family Meals {& Giveaway}

January 11, 2016

When we were decorating our first home, we bought a formal dinning room table, chairs, etc. It was lovely, but as our first child grew to join us at the table, we realized it wasn’t very practical. It was definitely not a place to have a casual meal: we were worried about the table getting scratched, the chairs getting stained… Read More

My son turned five this past November & he knew exactly what kind of party he wanted: Star Wars. His life is all about Star Wars. Markers & crayons turn into miniature lightsabers.
