Spring Centerpiece

I've been wanting to do something using pages from a book since this past Christmas when I saw a wreath made from torn book pages. I had a little extra time while my baby was napping so I decided to give it a whirl.
The original plan was to make an Easter egg wreath by covering plastic Easter eggs with torn book pages....after gluing pages on about 6 eggs, I decided to head in a different direction....one that didn't require me gluing around 25 eggs... =)
The final decision? I made a beautiful spring centerpiece. My table has been sort of neglected ever since the death of the beautiful flowers we received when my son was born. And lately my dining room table has had a mixture of sorted mail and half finished scrap booking pages scattered all over. This centerpiece is a welcome addition to our spring decor.
I had the pedestal bowl and nestled the book-page-covered eggs among moss covered rocks (from the dollar store).



The squirrel is from Home Goods. My mom bought it for me while we were there because I said it reminds me of my baby boy =). He likes to keeps his hands up by his face and look ALL over with his cute little eyes...just like my spring squirrel!



We are expecting beautiful weather this week so Hans and I will be outside a lot. However, I do have some things on the agenda this week.
Last year we grew wheat grass in a clear glass jar. It was so simple and beautiful and grew really fast! I plan on picking up some wheat grass seeds sometime this week. Also, I need to make Hans' Easter basket for his First Easter!!!

10 Minutes to a room you'll love

I'm wondering what my husband will think when he asks me "What did you do today?" and my answer won't involve shopping! Wait, I take that back, it DID involve shopping....shopping from my house (Nester Style)! The Nesting Place has been having a series on how to re-vamp rooms in your house in just 10 minutes. She encourages you to find things around your room and just add some changes here and there. I was inspired and decided to rise and shine early Saturday morning (with the help of some snow blowers outside) and apply these strategies to our ever so desperate bedroom.  I have really neglected decorating our bedroom until about 10 minutes ago so please don't judge the before pictures!  Keep in mind that I'm NOT finished yet and I may just end up going shopping OUTSIDE of the house for a few things. However, this 10 minute make-over has made our room just a bit more cozy!! Step 1 : Make the Bed  *Before* *After* Step 2: Personalize it.  Create a tables...

Lately...

Hans is 4 months old today! I haven't yet taken his "official" 4 month photo's but I still wanted to share a couple of pictures I took this week. Hans loves to sit in his high chair now. He likes to play with some toys on there but mainly he just loves to gnaw on the table... Hans can now roll over from tummy to back and from back to tummy. He does it ALL of the time. Here he is after rolling onto his tummy. Such a cutie! I will be sure to post his 4 month pictures soon, along with his 4 month "update".
