Since our move from LBC to Tulsa in jan. '11. And now with our move from Tulsa to Boise happening Jan '13 I'm looking for inspiration. And I'm here, of course! I love your penchant for vintage. I love your eye for color. And the fact that you agree that turquoise makes everything better!! <br /><br />Total side note... I had those vintage wooden ornaments as a kid, and when I had my very first Christmas tree with my own children my parents gave me what was left of those wooden ornaments. Still my favorite today. What's even sweeter is that when my husband and I had our very first Christmas tree his Mom gave us a box of their old ornaments. Which contained all of the vintage wooden ornaments that my collection was missing so we now have a complete set!

As Branda said, it helps if they can do things together. During the school year, you throw in homework and it gets insane quickly. We have to put limits on it so that the kids get a balance between activities and free time. The summertime is when we try to a more rounded activity schedule. Time to learn new skills and goof off too!Regina https://www.blogger.com/profile/08064879676909934282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672978773876442967.post-59850958415463369872012-03-17T08:35:15.767-07:002012-03-17T08:35:15.767-07:00Oh yes...children and their activities that compli...Oh yes...children and their activities that complicate our lives!

Love the linen and the suitcases and buying Christmas ornaments in March. <br /><br />I don't like that many commitments either, luckily so far my kids are small and hey, I only have two. But only to think that I'll have to factor in one in preschool and one in elementary school starting August... ugh. <br /><br />Love,<br />Swenjahennymatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826592924373076850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672978773876442967.post-62940341232809914542012-03-14T12:18:19.024-07:002012-03-14T12:18:19.024-07:00great finds! those canning jar lids make me swoon...great finds! those canning jar lids make me swoon!<br /><br />my older son is only in 1st grade, so we're only doing activites one at a time, but i can see where it gets crazy. i think it's important to only pick something the child is truly interested in, because if they're not, it becomes a chore for them. <br /><br />can't wait to see the books!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457619877894443273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672978773876442967.post-43403874083436861652012-03-14T11:22:08.369-07:002012-03-14T11:22:08.369-07:00Oo, I big puffy heart your new tablecloth; but the...Oo, I big puffy heart your new tablecloth; but then you know how I feel about vintage linens.

They're in the same Irish dance class and will be in the same American Heritage Girl's group. And all of our other activities are with our homeschool friends so they all happen in one big group, too. We're still running around like fiends, but we only have to go once to each activity. <br /><br />I love the ties!brandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248628386224864982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672978773876442967.post-44542963012291105072012-03-14T08:46:51.038-07:002012-03-14T08:46:51.038-07:00love all your finds, g. great eye, lady. enjoy.....love all your finds, g. great eye, lady. enjoy...simply brookes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/08240757109123822974noreply@blogger.com
