How many times do I have to tell you?!?

I am so glad I am not the only one constantly saying the same thing to my kids. John W. Golden's children helped inspire to create art! I should put every one of them up in my boys room. The "Wipe Your Feet" poster should go up in the mudroom for my husband. Available in several sizes, These signs start at $28.47. Purchase them at John's ImageKind store or at his Etsy store.

They bagged me at hello

When I FINALLY got my sweet little MacBook, I knew I couldn't just put my new baby in just any ole bag! So I went to ACME MADE and bought myself a sweet ballistic green SLIM bag. It is perfection! Now imagine how looney I got when I saw the new Spring SLIM bags! I do believe I have just become a collector!
