This home is quite different from what I’m usually drawn to, but it’s beautiful.

Less lovely: lies writers tell themselves.

Why we should memorize. (I’m filing the ‘poem lines for a penny’ trick away to use for Eleanor and August in a few years.)

I like white walls. Really, I do! Just maybe not when they’re in my house. Victoria is pulling them off well.

It’s a coffee table. It’s a dollhouse. It’s both! And it’s a brilliant solution for small spaces with kids.

I am so glad they’re continuing to paint the Oak Park L! What few murals they have really make a difference!

Hi Nicole! I’ve read your blog for a while now and I’ve never commented before- hope you don’t mind! ;) I just wanted to encourage you to start the “poem lines for a penny” idea now. At least with Eleanor anyway. Our oldest daughter is 5 but she had the Lord’s Prayer memorized by just a few months before her 3rd birthday, all the U.S. presidents memorized at 3, and has memorized several other scripture verses since then. She’s just a normal kid, but they are so capable! It’s amazing how easy they can memorize something, we just go over whatever it is we are trying to have her memorize, briefly and almost daily until she picks it up.

You’re right, I should probably start now. If Eleanor can memorize a song, surely she can recite a little poem too.

I think my husband will be jealous those Gabba shoes don’t come in his size!

I’m loving Victoria’s space too;) I like that you are fearless with color, why change? You have a great gift and it’s so you.

Thanks. The grass is always greener, I suppose. Or whiter, in this case.
