I haven't ventured into the drawing on my ipad yet, what sketching/drawing apps for adults are out there that are your favorites?

We have the exact same layout in our bedroom, however our window behind the bed looks out onto a mudroom addition, so it really doesn't serve much purpose in the way of light (luckily we have a huge bank of windows on another wall). I really want to cut it out and reframe it so it's not there, but our budget and DIY skills are not up for removing part of an exterior plaster wall in an old house. I was planning to DIY a wood headboard to paint/wallpaper/cover that will sit in front of the window, it won't block all of the window, but it will help protect our heads from the hard sill that is right above sleeping heads, with a curtain on the window.

wow. airy, light, clean, and just about perfect.

This is one of the best nursery's I've seen on Oddeedoh! It's so sweet, and special because it was made by hand with love (and with a budget)! The stove is adorable, the rug is adorable, the closet doors, such a nice touch.... love it!

Jack's adventures should be turned into a book, I'm looking at this post with my two and a half year old, and it's got us both so excited! Such a lucky little boy Jack is, wonderful story and pictures!

Such serenity translated in the pictures. Beautiful. My parents both (separately) live off the grid (but with cell phone service, solar, and wells) and I admire the determination it takes to create such a peaceful, green life; Although with kids I'm not sure I would want to do it- I love taking my kids to the park, to play with other kids, for cultural and art activities, daily.
This way of life sounds like a dreamy way to decompress and perhaps should be a mandatory type of vacation for all city dwellers at some point in life (even if only for a month) to remember to slow down. I sure come out of visiting my parents moving at a slower, more centered pace, with an appreciation for simple pleasures and cadences.
