I got the idea from <a href="http://mermag.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-turns-five-and-hosts.html">mer mag</a>'s blog and pretty much tried to emulate her brilliant party, from the invites to the take home cereal boxes. Kid's were asked to come in their PJ's and enjoy gobs of cereal goodness while enjoying morning cartoons and coloring. It was a grand ol' time and Sage really enjoyed it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf0pBMTKKokz7QF_fhDjiUb11h4tgozkM_CsNvxhmkMOdydky3DU2XH_ECRuviPSX1z0Ww1F44KOgBU6BhyCguV63SnHU6t1tqOD4uMFDhyQwdl3OihLb_YNeOnCb8SbY8zYgxOEHZaWA/s1600/pic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf0pBMTKKokz7QF_fhDjiUb11h4tgozkM_CsNvxhmkMOdydky3DU2XH_ECRuviPSX1z0Ww1F44KOgBU6BhyCguV63SnHU6t1tqOD4uMFDhyQwdl3OihLb_YNeOnCb8SbY8zYgxOEHZaWA/s1600/pic2.jpg" /></a></div><br />

If you are like me any constantly putting images from the web on your desktop or in folders but then really bad at going back and viewing them, this is for you. You can organize photos you have collected onto separate boards so everything is nice and tidy, but the best feature is that you have a button for your tool bar that you click when you are on a site and you want to pin a picture to your board. You click the button it shows you all the images on that page and lets you select which one to pin and what board to pin it on. This is the perfect solution for all my creative friends who can't get enough blogger eye candy! Go sign up today, it is free but there is a little waiting list to get invited. In the mean time peruse and feel free to look at <a href="http://pinterest.com/vanessa_herrema/">my pinterests</a>.<br />

I don't really have a green thumb naturally but every year I pick up a few new tricks and manage to help my plants survive little longer then the year before. This spring we had a packet of extra sweet basil seeds lying around and some seed starter soil, so Lyla and I got creative about what we could use to plant the seeds in. We made little greenhouses that have worked amazingly. Using a rinsed out yogurt cup we just punctured the bottom then filled it with soil and planted our seeds, then I rinsed out a baby food jar and stuck that on top and put it in the windowsill - within a few days all of our seeds were budding. Can't wait to make some pesto with these guys!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Happy Holidays and all that. I hope your first few days of 2011 have been blessed. We are currently walking in a winter wonderland in West Michigan - It is Beautiful!!! I took this photo today and I feel like it is a perfect start to my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2010/12/one-little-word-2011.html">one little word</a> for 2011 - <i>Dream</i>. I know that 2011 is going to be very busy, tiring, and full of new experiences as a family but Aaron and I feel like for our family the one little word we want to have as a theme for this year is to remember to <i>Dream</i>. We want to continue to look ahead expectantly and sometimes just sit in the moment but either way just continue dreaming. <i>Dream</i> for our kids, <i>Dream</i> for ourselves, <i>Dream</i> for our loved ones and really grasp the <i>Dreams</i> that our heavenly father has for us as well. What would be your one little word for 2011? <br />

Becky Higgins has a great new website including a digital book making program where you can build a Project Life album and have it made into a beautifully printed 12x12 book. It's lemon squeezy! I like the idea of starting my book at the beginning of a new school year. If you don't know about Project Life go <a href="http://beckyhiggins.ziblio.com/">here</a> to find out more about it. So that's what I did with my Labor Day, that and homework. What about you?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I think it's actually a passion that was passed down to me by my Mom and Dad. My Dad was always cooking some exotic cuisine and my Mom loved trying new and different recipes . Some of my favorite childhood memories where making apricot jam from the fruit we picked in our backyard and making homemade pumpkin seeds after carving our jack-o-lanterns in the fall. When I began thinking about how I want my children to have a creative, lively childhood full of fond memories - teaching them to make food from scratch possibly even from a home garden was one of the things I felt would inspire a wondrous childhood. We have yet to make a home garden (maybe next spring) but for now we have begun to play with our food! I'm hoping to make this a regular part of my blog - nothing weekly or anything (I'm too unorganized for that). But just something I feature at least once a month - hopefully more.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 171px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-7MXDxMxyVC4Az0hwPd27jTtSYG72K2uDOXhUy91EOx15cFlkEYsb9OmJ3EqJcqMR86QnfMqouN5afoC7ur9syvZyVTdEdkzp7d6eMgaTvdf-Po8jvGhwbfkF7f00FMlSWSSukPsXmc/s400/playing+with+food+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488017310432559314" /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijd_dhgE-4AbA_0hC3evL0JeaE30nYPdKpdqNKaUMmOWZZlCcw_ArRwdWmEcOvbZ-0HMnlttLMLd-HdPJ16fbuKwMT6GVRT4txnf51I_7EzaY_lPIxPRhUTy__1xqH_YQRCpLnpt1u_mA/s400/peas.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488020340532560130" /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">When I started looking for fun recipes to make with Lyla I came across <a href="http://thetoddlercafe.blogspot.com/">this ladys blog</a>. She has a book published called toddler cafe which looks like a lot of fun and these minty pea pops are from her book but she has also graciously put the recipe on her blog <a href="http://thetoddlercafe.blogspot.com/2009/06/sneak-peek-at-stones-soup-corner.html">click here</a> to see it. Now I don't know about your two year old but mine isn't the best pea eater. I usually have to hide them in mac n' cheese or other pasta dishes but to no avail - she usually eats around the little green intruders. So I was a little uncertain about how these pops would be accepted. I also have a personal experience with pea popsicles in China (both peas and corn are seen as dessert foods in China), and let me tell you they where disgusting. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Right from the get go I thought we might be in trouble when I told Lyla to put the cup of peas into the food processor she said "Mamma these are not tasty." I convinced her we were going to make them tasty and she hesitantly poured them into the processor. Lyla totally enjoyed making these pops and they were a success - she love love loved them! I even tried one and thought they were pretty great. </div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvAJLOBCw9UZ7mvl9peQP6FhOv6aAxtkYRCBduj4-d4mZfUwSdQjxkRBjXvWAodpVsfM_q2y2UZhroGB6orx34e5yWnn01P4TkT8xDMk2q8JABDKmiOL2tZ8MdcUGeV-7XLfH-vW1yXJI/s400/pic01.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486155523173994530" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block;

She has recently begun to build up quite a bow collection and I am always finding them around the house and trying to keep them in one place (pretty unsuccessfully) So I decided to make my own bow holder. I saw one of these on etsy and said I can DIY that.

Recently Aaron and I decided to switch up the rooms in our house so that we can put both girls in the same room, once sage is ready to move out of our room. The big switch up is going to take place while I am in California with the girls in July because Aaron said he will have a much easier time doing it while we are all away and he has no distractions. He said my only task is picking out paint colors, how can you argue with that deal! So I used my much loved app for this task and discovered a new very cool feature. You can upload an image and it will identify the main color scheme from the image and give you a working pallet. SO COOL!</div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJxNJgEL16_X3aOkZy8YXNqSQhaIbhdh2y1WiLToUzOCN7zHrSb0vZ0XGcRQ3vUOqhFBl-Sj_xlZSJesOYEBYHscaVa8SvKBMVLiT3ESW-muf7KeYtnccJSy9dbP7lJTOoRzZ4C0YDATE/s400/Screen+shot+2010-06-09+at+2.21.18+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481585254886635106" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I loved this photo by <a href="http://thompsonfamily.typepad.com/thompson_familylife/">Danielle Thompson</a> and the colors that came out of it are brilliant and just what I was looking for in my new work space at home! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWIvroYTGXF87abU0Kq0LMdtYALH2c9T5Cnx-4gXvUdpw6hQCRDWr7vlR2UFwSLwFQeTOdEhhUoNgAmO2Zk__rsqs5MZGOcsWpD52hJAIeTUvcF3F2_IcpIw_avs0QCC72CHA9uO9V2_M/s400/paint.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481585261105251154" /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I will post before and after pictures of the rooms.

I, myself have a limited budget to spend on clothes and am needing some transition wear as I don't quite fit in my old clothes and my maternity clothes are thankfully too big and too hot (seeing as I was mostly pregnant in the winter). So I think I just may need to go thrifting and score a new look. I saw <a href="http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/">this girls blog</a> on the <a href="http://blog.craftzine.com/archive/2010/06/new_dress_a_day.html">craftzine blog</a>, one of my favorites, and I was so inspired by her ambitious endeavor. For a whole year she is repurposing second hand clothing and making it her entire wardrobe. Not only is she super creative but she seems to have gotten even more creative with her remakes since she first began, not just that but she is giving herself a budget of a dollar a day - nice! <a href="http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/">Go check her out</a> - you'll want to look all the way to day 1! Below are some of my favorites she has done to date.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcscKHqROwOdbO4fjktFBRg3L9AnVD856EwBEzfW8qmHjES7X1d90bkx3jqATH-4zGgHaKXn40nECZt-VSBOiwY5HZmHT5lvKIXrcGJ-8spZZftq9PB_a9VPPVQ64MSpTav4-IClHzxWk/s400/dress+a+day1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480495476621543346" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJHvoBISCL986IepHfJ6TQP1QbNF6_zi_hQ9DLYJh0JP_98SYBnqqR8aOiJp1s1aav-Ky-WiwyPiabUrDmpu5CAHdmlG1O0E7j6VVn9aftmq2j-SlGAugAhCLAFJCiOoE2u8Sr3-SfZqo/s400/dress+a+day2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480494134671499218" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyfrQiNEWAUBa8UjBm19351DPHO3eMrACQ9FyYVXwMuzILoI1eBmeJAR5LCgojfe3Po7zNyjY_iPPjMaUM0_IdWOZABQ-cQER8Er6flT3WFmnbaZFF0IFIzaTfEoeksSyJ79MZN7anyec/s400/dress+a+day3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480433872284527042" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrJ2WDm78bwhs2grrTBEU_iOT1Y2XZ0b3eUrZWnjoffWkDL6IkLMFjCgXj6EAjNEkfBQEfhm03ne5Ah9LLv-3K34rWi8qyisMDkcrii67D2gihLBEQPBos0jPPx84ar9e7O_GGYg92SD0/s400/dress+a+day4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480433856687168226" /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I saw <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jfuchsmusgrave">these bags</a> and thought they were AMAZING!
