I don't normally like doing big events for kid parties because it's a lot of work and they likely won't remember it anyway... but this time was different. Since moving to our new house in March, many friends and family hadn't been to see our house yet, so, I figured, let's have a big party! I scoured Pinterest for ideas on what to do and settled on a few things I must do: TriceratossFeed the TrexWatermelon DinoVolcano Smash Cake Here is how it all turned out! Thanks for following along!

I quickly drew up a simple plan and...

We badly needed some storage on the one side and I've always wanted a nice framed chalkboard so one weekend in July, I made this happen. I found this great frame at the restore and it was already painted white. I found some pegboard at Home Depot and painted 3 coats of chalkboard paint on it. I used finishing nails to tack it inside the frame and voilà! For the floating shelves I followed this great tutorial online, but changed the measurements to...
