Where have you been all my life?

Why did I not purchase these little gems like two years ago?

The gift that keeps on giving(have I done this blog title before..feels familiar)

There is nothing like a large over sized box to keep your kids entertained for days!


So many uses.....try it upright



Try it on its side


Try it as a slide


And of course the king had to try it too


What actually came inside this box was an early birthday present that will be talked about and shown on a different day

Hey, I now know...

That if we had to...our kids could be carry-on's




Well...Lilly more than Drew

Holy Batman Swings

Because you use swings to fly like batman...says Drew and Lilly

Beautiuful doesn't really describe it

I was so shocked to hear that my gorgeous set up for our small group potluck a couple weeks ago was featured in Better Homes and Garden. The cover says it best, "How to have the best outdoor style that friends and neighbors will be jealous of. It's all about the furniture."



There is nothing like borrowing your parents 1970's table and chairs for a 2009 dinner with friends. Do you like the yellow lawn chair in the mix too?

Elissa Andre was creative editor over the design cover on this issue. Thank goodness I have connections to the editor and chief or I doubt this piece of beautifulness would ever get the recognition it deserves.

Clearance

We all know you buy the the necessities for the winter in the summer because they are on clearance. But I personally like how they become new and exciting toys to keep toddlers busy.




I guess in the heat we have been having, they could also be used has sun shades too.
