The life of J

J, you are such a handful you truly wear me out. You love pulling our red wagon and all the neighbors think its hilarious that you'll pull your older brother all around the campsite never once wanting to take a break. I think you might pull that wagon all day if given the chance. You are tough, you'll take a nose dive from the couch and come up laughing. Your smart, rarely asking questions you learn by watching and listening. You are so funny with a great laugh. Your Dad said just the other day "J has such a great laugh, right from the belly kind of laugh" he's right. Your growing up and wanting to be so independent. Stay my little boy just a little while longer let me help you once in awhile and hold you tight and imagine your still my little baby boy. When I say for a little while longer how about just a hundred more years thats not to long, right?
love, Mom

I subscribe to two online magazines. Lmnop and Small. Sometimes they overlap with similar products and articles but I always see something new and special.

The blogging bandwagon..Pixel Couch

By Danish manufacturer Kvadrat- present the pixel couch...We are selling our current couch which has a lot of color on it and most placed there by sticky toddlers, this would be a nice substitute, don't you think. Can I still get it scotchguarded?

kid bedroom ideas

Where does one get wallpaper like this and how painful is it to hang? In either case what a dramatic statement for a kids bedroom.

I would love to have my daughter in an iron bed someday and I think I prefer the dark color rather than a traditional white. It adds a nice edge to the room. The bird motif is well executed as well and while it is feminine it isn't sickly girly.

The green desk and chair are adorable.

Little Ms. T

A baby girl. T, how nice it is to have another lady in the house. Already I feel the house has softened and the boys seem to respect that you are something they must treat delicately. You have such a sweet disposition, a pleasing gaze and an infectious smile. It is going to be such a joy to watch you grow up and I am ever so thankful to have you here. love mom.

To my Doofus.

To My Dear Husband,

I Love You.

Brothers

S+J,

Most days are sheer chaos, full of quick meltdowns and quicker tears of the frustration that is life. You both have learned to lean on each other, a weird dependency has taken hold on the both of you. S, you have become increasingly protective of J and in turn J you have become S's shadow learning from him all that he will show you (the good habits and bad habits alike). I am comforted in knowing that beyond me and your father you have each other, a unique bond, a friendship stronger than any other in your life. I love you both. Mom.
