Madame P's Profile

Yes, your children's art framed, a reading nook, pillows for chairs and the floor, cozy lighting...Ikea of course has great options for combined storage/seating. When you say this is your only room, is it where you all sleep and eat, too? Looking at Apt Therapy's small spaces series can be really inspiring!

Love the bookshelf. This is perfect for little ones.

Snap trap in a bag. That way you don't have to deal with seeing the dead mouse on your counter. We had an infestation. They liked to hang out in our dishwasher. UGH. Just keep things clean, clean, clean, and keep the traps out. They'll go away after a while.

And don't invite more friends than you have dishes.

Great party! I love everything, especially the tiny ice cream servings in non-disposable cups.

I never lost a sock. Until I had a baby. Now he has a spot in his drawer with partnerless socks, all bright. We also have socks that he's outgrown in three month increments. Can't wait to try these.

She probably felt so special!

Beautiful room, would love to see it in 6 months ;)

A friend recently had to explain to the dry cleaner that the stain on the curtains he brought in was poop that had flown across the room.

I wonder how the book binding will react.

I haven't read the article, but I don't understand family meetings. 1. No one at work likes meetings, they are rarely productive, and people rarely are in a position to take responsibility for something (always tasked to ask), 2. What about just having conversations over dinner and breakfast?
