<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyone who know me knows that I love to make cards. It's fun, and a nice way to turn a hobby into something that others can enjoy. I like to get my boys involved sometimes too. It can be a fun activity for them, and we end up with something special to give someone.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Little Brother and I made this card together for one of his cousins. I printed the little cars and let him color them while I put the rest of the card together. Then I cut out the cars and put them on the "4" with foam tape. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I found the instructions for making the number and was inspired by <a href="https://cardsandbookmarks.com/2013/01/20/create-it-with-paper-birthday-card/" target="_blank">this card here</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The thing I really like about this card is that there are no special stamping supplies needed. You could even write or print the "Happy Birthday" sentiment if you don't have a stamp, and the cars were printed from this <a href="https://www.dafont.com/city-icons.font" target="_blank">"City Icons" font</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This picture collage would make a super cute gift anytime, but it'd be especially great for Valentine's Day! We made it for the boys' grandma on her birthday last year. As you can see, there was some sillyness with the picture taking, but that made it even cuter in my opinion!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For the past several years, I've tried to take a picture of the boys for Valentine's Day and we send it to family. It's a fun way to remind them that we love them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is this year's picture. The actual picture took less than five minutes.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Big Brother has been in school for several years now, but this will be the first year that both boys will be celebrating Valentine's Day at school. We've done a few cute Valentine's over the years, and I thought I'd share some of our favorites!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This "I Am Wheelie Glad We're Friends" Valentine is one I made in 2015 in Big Brother's 2nd year of preschool. You can find the free printable I designed <a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2015/02/fast-and-easy-toy-car-valentine.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Big Brother added stickers, we wrote his name on them, and they were good to go! I like how they can be attached to the Hotwheels package without taking the cars out of it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some time back I was reading part of 1 Corinthians 13 (verses 4-7) and was inspire anew. I'm sure most of you have read it. It's the love chapter after all. It really hit me, though, that we could (and should) use this chapter as guide for how to show people love...how we can live out love. I started to put it into my own words and words my boys could understand and soon came up with this:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The more I thought about it, the more it sounded like something that should be on the wall. A "family rules" kind of a thing. So I put together a simple file to have printed on a canvas, and here it is up in the kitchen!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I first started blogging, one of the first things I found and tried on another blog was <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2013/01/14-days-of-valentines-for-500.html">14 Days of Valentines</a>. It's a cute and easy way to celebrate Valentine's Day, AND it can also be fairly inexpensive too! I haven't done it in several years but decided to go for it again this year and started last Friday on February 1st with some simple (and sometimes silly) Valentines for my husband. It's not too late though! You can throw some of these together quickly and get started right away!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I made this one myself, and it's not hard to put together. You could even hand write the note. Just fold a piece of paper in half, write your note, and attach it to the candy. You could also attach two of the same kinds of candy if you're not crazy about Twix. I got this idea on <a href="https://www.skiptomylou.org/printable-valentine-cards/" target="_blank">this roundup</a>, and that's what they did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a throwback to some cards the boys made all the way back in 2016. It doesn't seem like that would be that long ago, but the boys have changed so, so much since then! So keeping that in mind, these cards were made by a 1.5 and 6 year old. Big Brother's hand just barely fit on the paper for the monkey. I remember thinking that that was probably the last year he'd be doing any kind of a hand print card!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So since I was talking about the monkey card, let's take a closer look at that one first. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You'll need the following:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">card stock (white and red)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Brown and tan/beige card stock or paper</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">markers (green, red, and black)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">brown paint</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We started by painting Big Brother's hand and "stamping" the white card stock (approx 4.75 x 6.75 inches) with it. Then we added the monkey face, ears and tail made from the brown and tan/beige card stock. Color/draw in the mouth and nose with your black marker. I let Big Brother help glue them onto the paper. Then I drew the vines with my green marker and wrote the "I ♥ Hangin' With You!" phrase. I drew a heart on the vine and let Big Brother color that and the other heart with red marker. We fastened the monkey piece to a folded piece of red card stock. Our red piece measured 10x7, so that it would fold into a 5x7 size. That was it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We also made this "I ♥ U" card. This one is great for little ones who can't do much more than scribble. Little Brother was a few months away from being 2 when we made this, but he was able to do it! You could do all kind of different letter, words and shapes, so this doesn't have to be just a Valentine's day project.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You'll need the following supplies:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">card stock (white and red)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">crayons, markers, and/or paint</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">masking tape</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cute out the shapes from the masking tape and place them on the white card stock (approx 4.75 x 6.75 inches). Let you child color or paint all over the paper. If necessary, wait for the art to dry and then remove the masking tape. Fasten the white card stock onto the folded red card stock. Our red piece measured 10x7, so that it would fold into a 5x7 size. Your card is finished!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every year our family likes to reflect on what we are thankful for. I think it's a good way to get the boys to think about all we have and how much we are blessed. We usually do a <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673177196567/" target="_blank">Thanksgiving Paper Chain</a>, but this year, I wanted to do something different...something bigger.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I decided I wanted a big tree to add leaves onto, and then I went in search of inspiration and ideas. I found <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673187627540/" target="_blank">this tree</a>, decided I could make something similar, and set to work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I used 30 inch wide craft paper and drew a tree with pencil using the tree mentioned above as an example. I painted over the pencil drawing and then filled in the bark with the paintbrush. It took me a few hours, but it really wasn't too difficult!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Big Brother has needed somewhere to put little keepsakes for sometime now. They've been piling up in his dresser drawer. When I bought too much cork for another project, I realized I could use the extra cork to make him some bulletin boards. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I started out by looking for some extra frames around the house. These frames have been around since early in our marriage and have been used for several different projects over the years. <a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2012/10/2-types-of-artwork-for-free.html" target="_blank">P</a><a href="http://takingtimetocreate.blogspot.com/2012/10/2-types-of-artwork-for-free.html" target="_blank">ictures of Big Brother I painted</a>, <a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2014/05/nursery-tour-corner-nursery-in-master.html" target="_blank">Nursery</a> art, and <a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2016/12/things-that-go-toddler-bedroom.html" target="_blank">Toddler Bedroom</a> art were the most recent uses for them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is before we moved into the house. As you can see, it needed a little sprucing up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first thing we did was take down all the curtains. It just blocked too much of the light. Since the room isn't super bright, I didn't want to go with anything too heavy, so I found some fairly lightweight, white curtains and skipped any type of shade on the individual windows. Then I painted the seat and made pillows with leftover fabric from our <a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2017/03/farmhouse-table-build.html" target="_blank">dining room chairs</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Blue and White Themed Window Seat" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVtv7dW3Gygufd_16kNixW76jxGd-mFAvPlmJnMPJFPvBp0TLHDZJ0qBxNKhvzKMK5zCOAZlFeL14Tna_dmqJ4tc0AW7NKBzxcJFME_OvDCz2kAaaASqPGPKi51gGCTL80vlMxD49Z_q4S/s640/Window+Seat.JPG" title="Window Seat" width="426" /><span id="goog_2115419146"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_2115419147"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the changes in the whole room helped a lot with the transformation of the window seat. We have new floors, the walls have been painted a nice grey, and all the dark brown crown moulding is now a nice crisp white. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a quick and easy project that makes a big difference in feeling like the room is complete.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The estimated assembly time was 8-10 hours for 2 people, and we decided that's 2 people who know how to build and work with their hands.

This year we stayed home and hung out at our house for 4th of July. I didn't want to make a big production of it like we did for <a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2017/07/3-year-old-thomas-train-birthday-party.html" target="_blank">Little Brother's birthday party</a>, but I still wanted the day to be special. So I planned a few little activities to do around the house, and we had a few people over to just hang out and relax. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite activity of the day was making these cute DIY flag t-shirts. I <a href="http://www.keepingitsimplecrafts.com/2014/06/4th-of-july-shirt-idea-flag-shirts.html" target="_blank">found the idea</a> at the last minute the day before 4th of July, but we were able to whip them together easily on Independence Day morning after breakfast. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I prepped our t-shirts the night before by taping off the star area and as much of the stripes as I could. I then made stars from the masking tape with my star paper punch. I think star stickers would work great too.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After breakfast, I had the boys paint the blue section of their shirts. Then while the paint dried, I got dressed, and they watched some cartoons. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the blue paint dried, I removed the tape along the edges of the blue section (I left the star tape in place for now). I then place tape <i>over </i>the edges of the blue area to keep the red paint off the blue. I also needed to add a little tape to my stripes so it would reach all the way to the edge of the blue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the boys painted their red stripes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once they were done painting, I let the paint dry for just a few minutes before I removed the tape. Once the tape was removed, I hung the shirts up outside to finish drying. It was nice and warm, so it didn't take long at all for them to dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few tips: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let the tape go over the edge of the t-shirts to hold them in place on the table. I think this was helpful, so the boys couldn't accidentally slide the shirts around while painting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure there aren't any "puddles" or blobs of paint before you let the shirts sit to dry. They'll dry a lot faster if the paint is spread out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leave the star tape or stickers on even while they're doing the red. This way if they accidentally get red in the blue area, it still won't get on the red stars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have fun!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We played "monkey in the middle" for a while.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we ate dinner and lit a few firecrackers in the backyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After dinner we drove a little ways to a spot where we could see all the fireworks in the Denver metro area. It was fun to try and figure out what area each display was coming from and nice that they weren't too loud for the kids since we were a little further away from them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It was a great day and I hope yours was just as fantastic!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Like a lot of little boys, Little Brother loves just about anything that "goes", so naturally he loves trains and Thomas the Tank Engine. Since I knew we were going to "<a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2017/07/a-day-out-with-thomas.html" target="_blank">A Day Out With Thomas</a>", I thought a Thomas the Train birthday party would be the perfect choice for him...and it was!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing our guests saw was Thomas on the Track on our front sidewalk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I found the idea for the <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673186569564/" target="_blank">"3 YR OLD CROSSING" sign</a> and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673186569483/" target="_blank">duct tape tracks</a> both on Pinterest. The tracks take a lot more duct tape than you might think (that's why we have 2 different colors), so it might be a good idea to measure before you buy your tape!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I thought about making a big Thomas or cardboard train <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673186569433/" target="_blank">like this one</a>, but then I found the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065KZEZU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Thomas tent</a> on Amazon. MUCH easier!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then there was the "Birthday Crossing" sign on the front door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This idea came from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673186569446/" target="_blank">this pin</a>, but I decided to change it to "Birthday Crossing".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We had a little table set up by the front door for arrivals...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">...and departures (party favors).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I got the "Arrivals" and "Departures" idea from <a href="http://littlemisskate.ca/crafts/thomas-the-train-party-ideas/" target="_blank">this party</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I found the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SW913JI/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">engineer hats</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CF9WA24/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">bandanas</a>, and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VZ6D3CU/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">treat bags</a> all on Amazon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inside the bags were Thomas the Train <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CIMU3KE/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">stickers</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00725YFM0/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">party favors</a>, and dollar store bubbles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then there was the cake and snacks table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm bummed that I didn't get a better picture of the cake and snacks table!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Up at the top you can just barely see the flag bunting I made. I also made the clouds that were hanging in front of the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00767ONWG/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Thomas backdrop</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On the table and pulled by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J49UTWW/ref=od_aui_detailpages01?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Thomas</a>, we had snacks in "cars" that were disposable foil pans. The train was sitting on a "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008G0WQW6/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">track</a>" table runner that I found on Amazon. We had produce cars (fruits and veggies), a lumber car (pretzel sticks), a coal car (olives), and a cotton car (kettle corn).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Attached to the front of the table is a bunting sign I made that reads "All Aboard".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here's <a href="http://catchmyparty.com/parties/thomas-and-friends-birthday-party-2" target="_blank">the inspiration</a> for the cake and snacks table.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love a good photo booth!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The backdrop is just plastic table covers from the dollar store that I layered, attached to the wall, and then cut in to strips almost to the top. Then I added the bunting and signs that I had made.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Recently, we went to "A Day Out With Thomas" at the Colorado Railroad Museum. I actually chose Thomas as Little Brother's birthday party theme with this event in mind since I already had the tickets. Little Brother loves Thomas even more since his birthday, so it was great planning!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There were several activities to do and trains and cars to explore before our departure time. If you love trains, this is the place to go! They even had a scavenger hunt of sorts with a prize at the end. The Railroad Museum allows you to bring a picnic lunch, so the boys did that while we picked up some barbecue from a food truck. Then we headed to find seats for our ride with Thomas!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When we first looked at our home, we could easily tell that the former owner was crazy about roses. They were all over the backyard and there was even a fenced in area that looked to be mostly roses. I love flower and roses, so I loved the idea of all the roses. When Spring started to arrive, we soon discovered that the former owner wasn't just into roses. Since March we've had one surprise after another. All kinds of flowers have "shown up" and I LOVE it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We started summer off with a bang this year with a camping trip over Memorial Day weekend, <a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-big-three.html" target="_blank">Little Brother's birthday</a>, his Thomas the Train birthday party, planting a garden, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BU1tfSphB-t/?taken-by=takingtimeinthecity" target="_blank">summer baseball</a>, Sports Camp at church, a fifth lost tooth, swimming a couple times, a couple parties, a wedding, and STEAM camp at the library. Then this weekend Jeremy and my dad put the boys' new backyard playset together, and we went to "<a href="http://takingtimeinthecity.blogspot.com/2017/07/a-day-out-with-thomas.html" target="_blank">A Day Out with Thomas</a>" with some friends. Whew! It's been a whirlwind, but now we're having a nice relaxing week with no major plans and time to just take it easy. Here are some pictures from the last month:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year there were so many graduates that we know and love, so I wanted to make something special for them. Thankfully, I'm back to making cards now that I have a dedicated space for it. I didn't realize how much I missed being able to sit down and make something beautiful out of paper! It's a nice escape for me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This card was inspired by a card I found on <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/" target="_blank">Splitcoaststampers</a>. You can see the original <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2526174?&cat=12511" target="_blank">here</a>. I used the "Great Grads" Stampin' Up set and made my own glitter paper with glitter embossing powder. It's a simple card, and I love the sparkle!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For a long time, I've dreamed of having a huge table. I wanted something that our whole family could fit around at holidays and birthdays. Big tables are pricey though! Then we came across the idea of building a table. The cost was considerably less and we were able to find detailed instructions via Pinterest. Jeremy was willing to tackle the project, so we decided to do it. This is the result! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We moved in early December and have quickly discovered our new hobby...our new house! We knew coming into it that it needed a lot of updating, but we fell in love with the house nonetheless. It has the perfect layout for us and is in a fantastic neighborhood. We started work on Day 1 and haven't slowed down much since then. Here's a little of what we've accomplished so far! Be sure to keep scrolling for the before pictures too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This was the first room we tackled, since we knew the boys would be spending a lot of time in there. I took before pictures right after we closed on the house and then the demo started! The half wall/bar was the first thing to go. We're not finished with the desk area, but it's a huge improvement!</span></div>

It seems we have a project or 2 going most of the time. I've even painted more since I took these pictures just a couple days ago! We're enjoying it and look forward to sharing more transformations and projects.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I got this idea from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/97249673182318001/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> and decided to make my own. I simply found transportation fonts, created pictures (jpegs) in Photoshop that I could print at Costco, and then framed them. It was relatively inexpensive and easy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I created pictures for each letter of Little Brother's name with a road font and cars driving on the road from the other transportation fonts I used for the "things that go" wall art. Super cute!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">***If you're viewing this post and the page says "Taking Time in the City" at the top, you may have followed an old link I was unable to redirect. Follow me on my new website: </span><a href="http://ourboylife.com/" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">ourboylife.com</a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> ***</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sharing our laundry and vanity area last week got me thinking about a couple other things we've done around our house to maximize space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first area is our oldest's bedroom:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aWqoYzVKxFesV1o4YJbTAO6Hvi1wLLkC8NElmLVfc5yJ7JfpQ1A_2VY17jmSusEfEtlZsEieQ5Xi5DLoLqqlsGYHMTYzWSG4ujpI2GYAoICCGp8sCBgF4dA0XIAwsaRQoXKXnv-6Rw80/s1600/Loft+Bed+in+Small+Bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aWqoYzVKxFesV1o4YJbTAO6Hvi1wLLkC8NElmLVfc5yJ7JfpQ1A_2VY17jmSusEfEtlZsEieQ5Xi5DLoLqqlsGYHMTYzWSG4ujpI2GYAoICCGp8sCBgF4dA0XIAwsaRQoXKXnv-6Rw80/s640/Loft+Bed+in+Small+Bedroom.jpg" width="426" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We knew moving into the house that it was a small space, so from the beginning we made use of the vertical space by purchasing a loft bed and lots of storage for toys to go underneath.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TgWLzjLpgXByb0whlqgy9JH5Db62NEnd7cYB_jv8uPBUl_lmoCEW-d3SMoyuSWRbb_H8CQ1IxznEfZ5742GBAoqbuE2zLDBJPHSpx5FX2895D5oagbCuIZAG8qKdszyjo-rJDlswEfl4/s1600/Stuffed+Animal+Storage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2TgWLzjLpgXByb0whlqgy9JH5Db62NEnd7cYB_jv8uPBUl_lmoCEW-d3SMoyuSWRbb_H8CQ1IxznEfZ5742GBAoqbuE2zLDBJPHSpx5FX2895D5oagbCuIZAG8qKdszyjo-rJDlswEfl4/s640/Stuffed+Animal+Storage.jpg" width="426" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We moved this stuffed animal storage from our apartment, and it's a great use of space! I think the footprint is only 1 foot by 2 feet, but since it's so tall, we can fit lots and lots of animal friends in our "zoo". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another idea that we've found really useful is hanging hooks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1XOYNuP_zaA6HUm__XSJBdn9ivkdXXcbbjfN_PB3ocZM8x2ATDWIGFUgD29BjqborahU7PYxOQg7w0TuFgwU1PpGV5UYeax6cUfdm_VOGYXDLhi1tsV2Miby2d-n3DS6yddQ18qdOcBFN/s1600/Small+Space+Storage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1XOYNuP_zaA6HUm__XSJBdn9ivkdXXcbbjfN_PB3ocZM8x2ATDWIGFUgD29BjqborahU7PYxOQg7w0TuFgwU1PpGV5UYeax6cUfdm_VOGYXDLhi1tsV2Miby2d-n3DS6yddQ18qdOcBFN/s640/Small+Space+Storage.jpg" width="426" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There wasn't a good space to hang them on a wall by the front door, but we've found that the side of this wardrobe we use for a coat closet works great!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Make use of your vertical space wherever you can! Our master closet and laundry closet have as many shelves in them as we could fit. That gives us more storage and keeps it better organized since we use bins on the shelves. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hope these little tips help!</span></div>
