In Print {Today's Parent}

Not long after moving into our new house last year, I posted about the spice rack bookshelves that we hung in Leah's room... A few weeks ago I was contacted by Erin at Today's Parent Magazine, asking me if they could feature the project in their September issue... Of course, I said "Yes"... And last week, the magazine arrived in the mail! After all these years of blogging, I've never actually seen one of my photos in print... And boy, was it exciting! Leah was really thrilled, to see her room and her favourite books on the pages of a magazine!

Inspired by a {Yellow Button Studio} Giveaway

About two weeks ago, I happened upon 'Yellow Button Studio' while browsing around Etsy... I've been looking for a print to hang in the girl's bathroom since we moved last May... And I was thrilled when I found THIS print in Jessie's shop... You see, not only will it look great with the pale blue & white of the bathroom, it's something we often say to the girls... And it's true... I do love them all, to the moon and back! I was excited to order it and in my communications with Jessie, she wondered about sponsoring a giveaway! How could I say no? I love the sentiments and the hand crafted look of Jessie's prints... And thus, a giveaway was born!

To enter the giveaway: Visit 'Yellow Button Studio' and come back here... Leave the name of your favourite print along with your email address for chance to win an 8x10 or 8.5x11 print of your choice from 'Yellow Button Studio'... Spread the word on Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter, and post the link in the comments... One winner will be randomly chosen on Friday evening... I'll be contacting the winner by email, so please be sure to leave a valid email address! Thanks to Jessie and have fun browsing her beautiful shop!

Weekend Project {Spice Rack Bookshelves}

Back in May, I featured some child friendly bookshelves... Everything's been on a bit of a budget here these days, so I was thrilled to try out an idea for Spice Rack bookshelves in Leah's room... I purchased the spice racks from 'Ikea' for an amazing $7 a piece, painted them with acrylic paint in a lovely shade of lilac, put them together and then my handy husband hung them up in Leah's room to feature some of her favourite books! Why not try them out this weekend for yourself?

The Girl's Rooms...

It's been almost three months since we've been in our new house... And we're nearly settled... Just a few days ago, we put the finishing touches on Leah's new room, after moving her out of the nursery (which is now waiting patiently, as we all are, for baby to arrive)...

The artwork with Leah's name on it was a DIY project using frames from Ikea and scrapbooking paper.

The vintage hankie bunting in Leah's room was a custom order from 'Periwinkle Jazz'

The butterfly mobile in Leah's room was a custom order from 'Baby Jives'

The Matryoshka Doll on the shelf in Leah's room is from 'Ravenhill'

The butterfly mobile in Brennah's room was a custom order from 'Almost Sunday'

The heart name prints in both girl's rooms were also custom orders from 'Almost Sunday'

The bunting in Brennah's room was a custom order from 'Jump Up and Down'
