Fun Friday: Two of My Contributions Around the Web

Contribution to a Project at Abundant Life Children

A few months ago, I wrote a little bit about our family feeding habits when the girls were little. It's part of a series called the Global Voices Project started by Emily Plank at Abundant Life Children. Here's the link to see a little about how we've handling the learning curve from breast to table (and so great pictures of the girls, too!) I'm looking forward to participating in the future if Emily will have me!

Taming The Toy Tornado — Let’s Plan The Playroom

By Malissa McClintock, Contributing Writer

The playroom. Out of all the rooms in my house, I am fairly certain it is the room I like least. I wish that weren’t the case. I have always dreamed of having an amazing playroom for my children that we would spend countless hours in making memories I would always cherish. Instead, it’s a room they go to when I’m trying to get something accomplished and a room that I don’t enjoy being in because it’s always a mess.

To top it off, the playroom is in the space that should be the formal living room to our house — the room that you walk into through the front door.  We keep moving the playroom back and forth from the sun room to the living room, but nothing helps.  This year I’ve decided things are going to change and this plan is how I’m going to attack it.
