'Look at Me' Party!!!

Thursday, February 10, 2011

Welcome to the PaRtY!!!



Update on the Party:
So some of you may have noticed that a lot of the link lists are now charging for thumbnail services. I would love to be able to keep doing those for this link party but for right now, I just can't afford to do that. You know, hubby in school and student loans piling up. Blah Blah, everyone is struggling right now with the economy so I am sure you all get it. I apologize the link parties are not as fun to look at just with text links, but I hope you will still join in. I love to see everything you all have made and just look at it this way, if people don't see the project right away, it might drive even more traffic to your blog. Thanks for understanding and still participating!!! I love having these parties and seeing all of your creativity.

Potty Talk

Wednesday, February 9, 2011

This might be a bit TMI and it is SO not about crafting...but I always love to hear what works for other people.

image: Tribe of Dad

So my 18 month old girl decided yesterday to pee on the potty. No worries...this is not my doing. This is all her. She begged for me to help her on there. She wants to be a big girl SO bad. Her brother who is 3 1/2 was potty trained when he was 2. They both have worn cloth diapers though which I have heard helps kids feel the wetness and pick up the potty training faster.

I am not sure I am ready for this yet, but I definitely wouldn't mind having her start potty training sometime in the next 6 months. So I know what worked with my little guy, but it seems like everyone has their own tricks. I would love if you would share what worked for you??

What did you do when you were potty training your little ones? That way, when I am ready to start, I will be armed with some more methods to try out.

Thanks in advance!

PS If any new bloggers want me to highlight some of your cool projects, I would love to do a post about you! Email me a description about you, your project and your blog. Oh and a picture or two. Those always make things more exciting!

Decor for the Office

I think I have been dreaming of home decor in my sleep. I cannot wait to be in a "real" home that I can decorate for a more permanent time period. Some day soon. I can feel it. The hubs finishes up school in May so I am hoping it is soon after that.

One thing I cannot wait to outfit is a home office. I have been checking out office furniture. Can I just say I cannot believe how many options there are out there? Do you get a huge plump black office chair? Or something a little less "Trump-ish?" What about color schemes? I am so trying to lighten up our house by infusing some lighter, airier colors. I think the winter/fall has lasted a bit too long and I am ready for things to be springy and cheerful.

Anyone have any great office ideas? Link up your blog posts in the comments so I can check them out!!
