I love this. I have just the right amount of room between my sons crib and the wall to do this.

I own Craft, Inc. and like it, although I've never actually jumped in and started a crafting business or any business for that matter. I thought I might want to work from home while being a stay-at-home mom, but now that baby is here I realize how silly that thought was. It is hard enough completing one online college course each semester with baby. Even if he is napping or occupying himself, he is still my top priority and my brain cannot seem to focus enough on any other task. I guess I'll get better at this as time goes on (my little one is now 6 months old and things are easier than they were at one or two months). No one prepared me for the "mommy brain" thing either. You know, you go into another room and then forget why you went in there. I cannot go to the grocery store without a list anymore either or I will even forget the one thing I really was going after anyway. And when I leave the store and get into the parking lot, trying to remember where I parked is a challenge. This is all very weird to me, the one who normally has these things together and reminds everyone else of things. Kudos to those moms out there who have it together and applause to those moms who can actually run businesses out of there homes with kids underfoot.

Thanks for this. My husband is half Korean on his mother's side. I am interested in learning more about Korean food especially since we recently had a baby. I want him to learn about his Korean heritage and grow up eating some Korean food.

I have only started to really like Korean food and Japanese food in the last few years. Lately I have been enjoying a simple snack of boiled tofu (just to warm it up a bit) topped with a little sesame oil and sesame seeds with a side of kimchee. Simple but delicious. This sauce would work well if I didn't have kimchee.

I love Skip Hop stuff. We already have the whale spout cover, turquoise toy organizer and the stacking duck cups as well as a Skip Hop diaper bag and some other goodies.

Now if my last two weeks would hurry up so I can finally meet my sweet baby and start using this stuff!

Fabulous idea!

I love those. I want to make some :)

We have exposed beams in our living room, but a previous homeowner painted them white. I so wish they were natural again, but I'm not gonna get up there and do it :(

Oh wow, I just noticed you are in Tuscaloosa. I live in Madison, AL. I lived in Tuscaloosa for about 4 years while in college. I really like the color combo of turquoise and orange, but that is just too close to orange and blue for my husband...we are definitely a crimson and white household :)

Cute room. Love the green wall color and the dandelion and the crisp white linens. And what a cute baby boy!

Cool, I'll check it out. As an Alabama girl I need to increase my southern cookery skills. I have found that I can make a mean Chinese cashew chicken, but I can't make good fried chicken :)
