Things I Love Thursday: Window Crayons!

On some Thursdays, I'll share something random that I'm really liking, enjoying, or appreciating. Just a little post to share a little snippet of life right now. I'd love to know if you also like these things, and what you're randomly into these days! I read about these on Elise's instagram or blog and figured...

Pinspiration: Father’s Day Craft

Last spring, I decided semi-last minute to do a craft for Father's Day. I found this on Pinterest : Pinterest             /        Original source "Heartfelt quotes" aren't really our thing, and they're definitely not my husband's thing.

Corner of my own stuff Bookshelf with kid/picture books and all my YA books Ugh, seriously, that paint color! * Important intermediate steps: Organize everything we bought...

Pinterest Pressure
