I just went to the flagship store and it is absolutely gorgeous. I bought a bowl that I know I could have purchased online, but there is something special about seeing a buying a piece in person. I had a ton of fun at the store (took some great pictures) and my 7 year old nephew had a blast too!

My mom bought me one of these as a gift a few months ago and I love it. I water it once a week for five minutes and it looks great in our home.

A few years ago my sister had her friend who is a photographer come into their home in the wee hours of the morning when the light was filtering into the bedroom and take photographs of herself, husband and 3 year old son. The pictures are beautiful.

I should implement the clean as you go more often otherwise I wouldn't be in the argument that I am with my husband about the mess that I made cooking dinner last night.

Love this! Great idea about timing a cup of coffee and then a quick snooze. I'm definitely going to have to try that to keep my with my 18 month old.

Do as much prep work ahead of time. Thats always been my tried and true savior when hosting a holiday dinner or just a dinner party. Its a huge stress saver. A glass of wine or two doesn't hurt either. And I always like to remind myself this and it helps for wedding days too ;) Its not the end of the world if something doesn't end up perfect. Its just a day and everyone will have fun regardless.

This nursery is gorgeous and congratulations on your new baby!

@lindor44 Skye is 16 months and still licks the paint. I just keep a really close eye on him to make sure he doesn't get too much in his mouth. I would just really monitor your babe when he/she is painting. There are some eco paints out there too that are plant based. Maybe you should consider something like that for a younger baby.

My son Skye is the one who made this painting and I have to say the best thing about it is that I can tell that he's proud of it. He points to it everyday and we tell him you made that and he smiles. Whether its "art" or not it makes us happy and we like it. I think its awesome to let your kids be as creative as they like. It allows them to grow into being creative adults. Thirty years from now we will cherish his painting and hopefully many many more.

Great post! I would definitely say that my home reflects the way I dress.
