Thanksgiving Bunting

There is an almost overwhelming variety of pumpkins, gourds and faux leaves available everywhere this time of year — grocery stores, farmers’ markets, country farms and craft stores make it pretty easy to buy everything you need to celebrate Thanksgiving. That’s why I wanted something I could make myself — something that looked festive but not overly turkey-cliché. I found it with this sweet little Thanksgiving bunting.

The Ultimate Cardboard Box Fort

When twins Ava and Bella asked if  they could someday build a fort out of boxes, they had no idea that their parents would take this challenge on and build the fort most kids only dream of.

Photographers Michael and Melissa of M2 Photography, often share photos of their personal life including their daughters and pug. We’ve enjoyed seeing updates on Instagram and Facebook as they tick off items on their family summer bucket list – this fort being one of them. What a creative way to spend time together as a family. And Melissa’s advice for those interested in building their own fort, start saving your boxes now!

Cleaning up the toys! | Toy Storage Ideas

After months of stepping on dollhouse furniture and lego pieces, my feet could no longer stand it! (no pun intended). Something had to be done. Our basement, which functions as our family/rec room and playroom, was a total disaster of toys. The cheap toy bins we had originally thought would be great for keeping things organized and tidy (back when it was just baby toys for one kid), just didn’t cut it anymore.
