This is my photo wall in my house! It is made up of photos Sungazing photos has taken every 3 months of my kiddos' life! That is why there is a gap the bottom right corner. Glenn is only 9 months! I will post how I did the words tomorrow!
This is a blog about motherhood and the creativity that is involved with life. It is also a chance to laugh, share and enjoy the stories from other mothers.

photo wall
I am finally hanging the pictures I had professionally taken of the kiddos every 3 months for the first yr of life! There needs to be some words added in so here are the ones I am going to put.....
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?
I am going to use the idea of letters on the wall from the blog, This Thrifty House: http://thisthriftyhouse.blogspot.com/2010/09/iron-on-wall-art.html
I'll post pictures when it is finished!!!!! Hope to do it today but like most of you it depends on a 2 year old and a 9 month old and since it is Spring Break and hubby as well! ;)

another use for the kitchen table!
I keep seeing ideas for place mats that kids can draw on floating around the Internet and I love the idea. When I thought about adding it to the To Do list I kind of giggled because I knew I would not get it done. So I started thinking......we have a glass top table......we have window markers.......we can draw on our table! YAY!!! Well I think I love drawing on the table more than Gianna does! Our favorite thing to do is draw pictures together and work on 1 masterpiece!
It can smear when the ink is still wet but once it dries it does not wipe off unless wet. To clean just use a wipe or window cleaner. Whatever you normally use. Gianna is cleaning it off in this picture so we can start over! Have fun everyone!

■4 tbsp baking soda
■2 tbsp white vinegar

■2 tbsp corn starch (known as corn flour in the UK)
■Food colouring (liquid or gels)
■container to keep your paints in – I used a mini muffin tin, but you could use an ice-cube tray, small plastic cups, plastic egg carton etc.
