Birthday Wishes

Every year we try to do small things to make our children's birthday. I LOVE the window we have at the top of the stairs (on our second story) its perfect for decorating! A little ribbon, a birthday sign and some construction paper... And you have a great thing for a little girl to wake up to on her birthday! :) Each year its different but always a suprise. It's always great to have a early birthday wish especially when she's having to get up and ready for school really early!

What do you do for your kids special day?

Fall is coming...

 I LOVE FALL! I love the leaves falling from the trees. I love the cooler weather which makes my infatuation with scarves ok. I love pumpkins and tea and soup. I love everything about fall! I am so eager to begin wearing my fall wardrobe and making more fall (cool weather) food. I CANNOT wait to decorate my house too! Call me a bit obsessed but I loev decorating the house! Most big holidays merit a big home overhaul... Every year its a bit different... Some years I go a little crazier than others but I think with my urge to decorate... Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to be huge here! Which reminds me CHRISTMAS is headed our way quick! EEECK!!!

I will post pictures of the activities and decorations I do... Some with my daughters and some just me :). Hopefully for some who have lost their fall inspiration I will stir up a couple of ideas!

Her 1st day....

I'm sure our house is a lot like everyone else's the first day of school is scary! We try to make it a litte less nerve racking for our daughter by doing little things... a note in her lunch, a new outfit and lots of love and kisses! One thing that I have done in the past and have ready for this year is a sign for her as she walks down the stairs for breakfast... Also we take a picture under the sign to mark this new adeventure! It makes her feel special and excited to get to school :)
