I'm a big fan of her fabrics. We have a galley kitchen so all of our meals take place in our dining room. I reupholstered our dining room chairs in amy butler's laminated fabric. Cleaning up after my 6 year old daughter and 44 year old husband has never been so easy.

a possible answer to the reason behind your betta's death. i think it was a fatal accident rather than a suicide. bettas are jumpers and have been told not to fill their bowls with water so close to the top to prevent the fish from getting carried away in their exuberance. apparently, they need more surface area to swim back and forth rather than vertical space.
glamorous home, btw.

Yep. My daughter has had our old ipod (an original!) in her room since she was 3 months old. She sleeps to "Bubbling Creek." which my husband downloaded off of itunes. It's connected to a speaker and there is no problem with sound quality. It has worked like a charm for the past 5 years. Of course, she's gone without it when we've forgotten it during travels but prefers to fall asleep to her "U-zic."

Those shoes are plastic dress-up shoes. My 5 year old has the same ones. I thought it was a pretty clever display of them since 3 -5 year old girls are usually always in the middle of costume changes.

um, i meant the fabric on the pillow and shelving. it's also available laminated from fabric.com

I don't think any of the rooms are dorm rooms. I clicked on the link to the blog when I recognized John and Sherry's room. The post was about finding inspiration to decorate a dorm room...like using a daybed as John and Sherry have done. I don't believe the blogger was trying to pass any of the photos off as dorm rooms.

that's my girl!!!!

we also had a long journey to achieve parenthood. Our precious baby girl will be 5 in june and i can tell you that the blessings don't stop and neither will your gratitude for all that they bring. Happy celebrating!!!

how about a gray color to cover the siding and a bright yellow door?

Since she was 2, our 4 (and almost 3/4!) year old daughter has carted Monkey around with her everywhere. If you know Ella, you know Monkey. Monkey has traveled to Disneyworld, Paris and everywhere in between. He even "wrote" a wishlist to Santa and received his "tiny little monkey clothes" but is still waiting for an ipod. We think of him as a member of our family. He is so well-loved that he is getting a little worn around the edges. Since he is a small bla bla sock monkey, i ordered a body double (an exact replica) as a replacement, if necessary, about 6 months ago . Ella likes Monkey's "brother" but he is not Monkey and therefore, relegated to hang out with all her other stuffed toys.
