Spring Cleaning & Organizing

It's that time of year again! Every Spring I get this overwhelming desire to clean and organize. This weekend I plan on tackling JD's very messy room. JD has managed to acquire so many toys in the last couple years that we honestly even have unopened toys stored away. So tonight I'll be stopping by IKEA and picking up a few much needed storage items! I'm really excited about using the VESSLA storage crates. These large crates are stackable (when used with lids) and they have casters, so they'll be easy for JD to wheel around his room. The RIBBA picture ledge is one of my personal favorites, they're perfect for frames and storing books, click here to see. The BYGEL hooks (placed at toddler height) will make it easy for JD to hang up his sweaters and backpack, instead of hanging them on the door... which drives me crazy. Have you started Spring cleaning yet?

 

Dinosaur Birthday Party Invitation

I'm so excited, JD's 3^rd birthday and dinosaur birthday party are less then a month away! I don't plan on posting too many party details until after his party (I want to keep an element of surprise), but I did want to share a few photos of the invitations. I love making invitations and feel that they should make the person receiving it feel excited and enthusiastic about attending the party! I started designing the invites a few months ago and once all the supplies came in, they were not only easy but so fun to create. Here's a sneak peek!
