Got some scrap wood and chalkboard paint left over in your garage?Jen from The House of Woodshares a fun little project atShanty 2 Chicfor putting those DIY staples to use! Jen created the cutest little chalkboard tablets that are great for making lists and entertaining the kiddos on car trips.

A friend and I were talking a few days ago. Both in disbelief that the kids only have a week of school left and then it will be summer break. Where has the past school year gone? Moms seems to have a love/hate relationship with summer. They are excited to have their children home more, [...]The post Tips For Surviving and Enjoying Summer Break with Kids appeared first on The Idea Ro

We’re headed to St. Louis today. That’s about the halfway point to where we’re going in Minnesota. I’m hoping our pets don’t give our house-sitters too much trouble while we’re gone.
Something tells me everything will be just fine though.
PS- Know any must-stop-for flea markets between southern Alabama and St. Louis? Sure would be fun to stretch our legs in
With Memorial Day coming up and the Fourth of July close behind, it?s the perfect time to break out that patriotic dcor.Jeanie from Create & Babblehas just the project to get you going ? a flag-inspired canvas that requires little time or money. Jeanie says, ?It took about 20 minutes and cost $0! My kind of craft!? Mine too {wink}! Jeanie happened to have a canvas on hand, but you could definitely
The other day I gasped as my boys walked out of their science class. They were holding what I later learned was a polyhedra.
I had always called it that cool shapey, faceted thing I’ve had on my table for over a year. Now my boys were walking out each carrying one of these wonderful things. They said it was easy and fun to make. What?! How?!…
Here’s how to make your own, they
I have to be honest…when I first found out I was having a little dude I got all scared! My pre-Gunner self was never very impressed with little boy clothes. In my mind I always thought boy clothes were Winnie the Pooh overalls and helicopter shirts. I never had to venture into the boys department so little did I know that little guy clothes were as cute as they were! I’ve made a comple
Living in an older home with smaller rooms,Shannon from So Pretty is as Pretty Doeshas one place to put her bed, and that?s in front of the window. A search online turned up some great headboard options that would still allow light into the room, but they all came with hefty price tags. Instead of breaking the bank, Shannon started a full-on Craigslist search that landed her a headboard with the o

It’s been a shuffle-y couple of months around here, but now that the wall paint is dry, we’ve started putting things back into place.
There’s still a fireplace to paint (Simply White), and tile to (temporarily) cover up…
…but things are definitely starting to feel more like us around here.
I’ve had the shelf above (and below) for so long…but I never cou
We showed you here how wecolor washed our barn door, but I didn’t quite show you the rest of the story. So, I wanted to show that to you today. We improved the bottom stair tread and wanted to add house numbers to it, below the barn door.
Now, this door comes off the stairs to the basement. While thestairsare carpeted, our living room floors are wood (wellactuallythey only look like wood).
Our bedroom is one of the few places in our house where I feel like I can make a vignette and it will stay that way. But that’s the one room where I go a little crazy and demand that everything in the room be ‘quiet’. The duct tape wall is loud enough for me, I want everything else to be almost silent. So I admit, my dresser vignette lacks pizzaz but, it makes me feel all calm.
Our house is filled with books but for the last 10 years we’ve been reading about princesses, ponies and fairies! With a little dude now in tow it’s time to start getting my feet wet in the super hero, din0saur and truck department! I’ve been loving all the new finds and recommendations I’ve been getting and just had to pass on my growing list of wants and haves for my lit
I make no secret of the fact that most days I’d rather be standing on a 210 plank over twenty feet of open stairwell, sanding drywall dust off the ceiling directly into right eyeball than doing laundry.
Which is weird, right? Because a.) drywall dust to the eyeball sucks, and b.) laundry isn’t really that hard. And since the farm consists of, uh, me (and a dozen animals that don’
Megan from Our Pinteresting Familyfound tons of inspiration from the summer Pottery Barn Kids catalog for a nautical-themed bridal shower she has been planning. One item was a decorative life preserver that was priced at a whopping $69! That seems pretty pricey to me, especially when you can jazz up an inflatable tube from the dollar store like Megan did. All she had to do was add for strips of fa
