This frame used to have a mirror in it.
It was a floor mirror up in the girls’ room.
Till Meg took a nap.
Or rather, didn’t take a nap.
And shattered the mirror.
So, it sat around for a while.
Till we redid the pantry
and had some left over MDF
and the chalk board paint out.
And now it has the house rules and the family routine.
I saw the family routine on Pinterest and thought it pretty much sums up what I want to tell my kids each day before they leave the house:
make good choices, be nice, stick up for yourself, enjoy school, play hard, be an example, eat all your lunch, come home happy, be a good friend, don’t be sassy…
in other words:
Be Awesome
I picked up the antique looking glass bird plant terrarium at Hobby Lobby.
My mother-in-law had an old bird’s nest in her garage from when her kids were little.
Early 80s.
And I made the pom poms out of yarn using Pinterest.
Kinda unsure about them.
Hope you’re having a good week.
Adeline’s home sick.
Bleh.

Love your rules!!
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the pom-poms. I made some at Christmas time as a makeshift craft for a daughter who thinks we should do crafts every day. I didn't feel like mine looked quite right, but maybe because it was a makeshift craft. Yours look very puffy and fluffy, as they should. I was originally thinking of doing them right and making them into Christmas ornaments. Is that lame?
I thought I made a comment here already...must have imagined it...I LOVE the chalkboard! Super great idea. You should google John Greene...he is a cool author and one of his sayings is "don't forget to be awesome"...which is obviously great advice.
