This is delightful! If you remember, could you share your paint color? I am going to be doing a greyish nursery as well and I love this color. Beautiful mural as well!

Love this as well. My same thought-the growth chart is great. I love the color scheme so much, even though I usually don't like yellow.

I have a baby and we currently use these to decorate the room, but will use them as flashcards when she's older. They are also a floor puzzle on the backs. They are truly beautiful images and very hard cardboard.

My friend (not a mommy) and I make "craft dates" about every other weekend. Her partner and mine go into the "man cave" and my friend and I craft in the living room. Just one kiddo, and she is 6 months, so she plays in her walker, on the floor, by us, takes naps, goes and visits daddy, etc. It's definitely a slower process than when I was single and super crafty, but now I have noticed that I am very particular about what I want to craft and much more forgiving of myself when my Christmas tree skirt still sits in the craft closet just waiting to be completed.

We do an external hard drive as well and print photobooks every few months of the highlights. Also are going to back up onto a site. My parnter's parents house burned last year and they lost all photos-all those cute baby pics gone! Even the awesome bribe-worthy Milli Vanilli want to be pic is gone!

Read all the time, never posted, but that earlier comment makes me boil!! As an educator for 12 years and someone who's very good friend has their Master's in Montessori (but who left teaching after 3 years when he realized that there really is more than ONE way to do something), give me a break!
If I had extra money I'd buy them just to "decorate" with and then let my daughter "play" with them- no teaching, just playing. I forgot that Montessori owns the alphabet.
