I have been looking and looking for a comforter that color. Our boys room is painted a similar blue but the curtains are black with different colored circles. I loved the orange in the fabric. I can not for the life of me find a comforter like this and I've looked at Wal-mart. How long has it been since you purchased it?

I had this same style seat growing up. Of course the vinyl pattern was different but this brought back memories all the same.

Our church VBS used the biggest balloons I have ever seen to decorate for the "circus" theme. It's a big sanctuary so it required a sort of grandness I suppose. The are amazing to look at.

I love these! The "Dump Out Toys and Laugh..." makes me feel bad for getting upset about toys dumped out. Poor babies, they just want to laugh and play and I just want a clean house. Clean isn't fun!

Also consider these tips when weeding through books you have. I recently got rid of a pile of picture books because of the low quality and story. They weren't interesting to my kids or where not ideal for story telling or reading. Also check out www.onthelap.org for ideas on expanding literacy for little ones at home.

I felt like saying "DUH" when I saw these. When my oldest was little I used to buy United Colors of Benetton diapers on eBay because they were so pretty. I never could figure out why diaper companies just didn't do this before. They don't have to cost a fortune, it should almost be standard in this day and age.

This is why I love your website so much!!! I am scouring your website for ideas to share with my readers on my new blog On The Lap. It's a blog dedicated to early literacy and sometimes you post something that you may not think of as being great for early literacy development, this one is obviously a great one. I can't wait to share this idea. Thank you so much for all your hard work. http://onthelap.blogspot.com/
