Who does your Mom sing?
“Who does your Mom sing?” An honest question asked by my 7 year old to a friend at school. The boy looked at him strange and replied, “nobody.” Ryan came home completely amazed. “And…Mom! He doesn’t know who Steven Tyler is. Ozzy Osborne, Dimebag or even Kurt Cobain!” He couldn’t believe it. I laughed and […]
Screw! You know… for kids.
I’m not really quite sure what this is, but it’s called “Screw” and it’s for kids, so that’s pretty cool.

Unique bunk bed designs + other baby and kid rooms worthy of swooning
Ariel’s post last week about turning her closet into a nursery got me thinking…How else can you creatively use the space you have when you have kids?
My husband and I currently live in a small 3 bedroom house, and we hope to have at least three children. Who we’ll have to cram into one room. The solution for us is going to lie in the liberal use of bunk beds and, as it turns out, that means way more fun anyway! Check out these cool (and totally copy-able, if you’ve got skills like that) bunk bed designs
