We bought some of these aprons for the Princesses for Christmas. I absolutely love seeing them in their cute aprons, helping me in the kitchen. And we do spend a lot of time in the kitchen!
Flirty Aprons is having a 30% OFF Little Girls Aprons plus Free Shipping Sale, now through March 7th (tomorrow)! They have a good selection to fit you and your child’s style, so go check them out!
Our home was built in the mid-late 70’s. Besides the outside structure, many of the inside features were still a throwback to the 70’s. One specifically I hope you can all imagine, is the shag carpet on the WALLS of our basement stairwell. Though they may have had the right idea – talk about sound control. Many of the prominent walls are also covered in wall paper (as well as the inside of every cupboard, and random patches in the bathroom….).
My favorite feature though, is the glass mirrored wall in our family room.
The picture doesn’t quite do it justice. It is actually a black mirror with tan veins running through it. When we first moved in, I wanted this wall to go. It has since grown on me as Mark and I have debated what we could do with it.
Mark’s parents have been living in Japan for the past 5 years. We were lucky enough to visit them one year for Christmas. Since then, Mark and I have looked for ways to incorporate some Japanese style into our home. This wall gave us the inspiration. We’ll start with a simple buffet table in the center.
On Saturday we headed to the thrift store to see if we could find any winter gear for the kids. We’ve got quite a bit of snow, and wanted to go sledding.
We didn’t find any of the gear we needed (snow pants and boots), but we did walk away with this desk! I’ve been wanting an old school desk for the girls to do homework on, but never had the luck of coming across one. I saw this, and knew I was going to leave with it, and redo it. That was when it was covered in snow. Once I brushed the snow off I found a chalkboard top, and already repainted seat. It was ready to go right inside.
As you can see, the Princesses really enjoy working at it, and playing around it. I’ve been struggling to get Princess C to do any of the preschool books we bought lately, but now she looks forward to it. Having a special space for her has made all the difference!

One of my favorite Home Decor places to browse online is One Kings Lane. Periodically they have a really good sale on something I want, like when I bought cute blue organizing boxes for Prince L’s room. Or the more recent purchase for Mark’s Christmas present (yeah my husband reads my blog, so I can’t tell you what it is).
It’s that time! Black Friday. Are you out shopping or are you still curled up in bed recovering from turkey, potatoes and pie? Either way, take a moment to check out Blurb, and save your memories from this year in a beautiful book.
This sale only lasts through 11:59 pm, local time, on Monday 11/26. Only one coupon per user. Cannot be used with any other offers, or on previous orders.
