I have dreamed of living in a tree house ever since I first read The Swiss Family Robinson as a small child. I was convinced that there couldn’t possibly be anything cooler than living way up in the tree tops, with exotic pets and an island all around. Around the age of ten, we moved to a house with a charming little tree house perched within an apple tree in our front yard and I spent hours up there with stacks of books and mugs…
The leaves are changing, the air is crisp & I find myself craving cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin flavoured goodies — it must be autumn! This is my most favourite time of the year — the colours are fantastic, we get to pull on cozy sweaters & snuggle into soft scarves & mittens. It’s a short lived season — enjoy it while it lasts! Here are some inspirations for fall that warm my heart & hopefully yours as well!
guest post by Wendy (former Mom Spark writer) www.Wesnlani.com I love looking for fun and creative ways to display my children’s artwork, writing, and funny things they say. Suzanne posted about a collage that she created with her son’s artwork using Snapfish. I often use these items in my scrapbooks. Here are a few examples.

guest post by Judi @ Momma Muse Oh how cliché, I know.. but really, there is so much truth in this simple statement.We have always kept jars around the house to toss change into.

I even put in bills periodically – but usually it’s only when I have a…
guest post by Suzanne Winn I’m not one of those mothers that saves every piece of paper my child has drawn on. Because I work full time, Jaxon goes to an in-home childcare with a lady that we go to church with. She teaches a cirrucilum and he loves it there. He started there when he was about 4 months old. Once he was around one he started bringing papers home! Needless to say – We have a LOT of papers from this kid and…
What is a new use for a pencil eraser? How about using them to help level your picture frames! Here’s how: First, locate pencil erasers. It’s okay to use used erasers.(just make sure they are approximately the same size) Next, cut erasers off with scissors. Now you should have two eraser stubs.
I thought my husband had finally lost his marbles when he told me what he purchased at the going-out-of-business sale at our local “Linens and Things”. He had initially gone in to buy all the “slat wall” he could get his hands on, for our garage makeover (that is a whole other story!), but when he saw this beauty in the employee break room, he immediately plunked down his credit card. Can you believe eighty bucks for the whole thing? And with a little elbow…
