I use the Camera + app but I might try this new one! That first kitchen image…..swoon:)
Emily, I so appreciate your Sat post. Thoughtful, fresh, a real gift to us, your readers. Thank you!
Cheryl, thanks so much! Glad you enjoy it :)
I have seriously downgraded birthdays around here and it’s something I am deeply deeply proud of :)
I LOVE that kitchen before & after! Thanks for sharing!
The birthday party article confused me though – the author advocates simplifying parties but condemns the moms who offer to simplify the gift buying process for everyone else. $17 is not an insane suggestion, and a desk and e-reader seem like useful items for 7 year-olds. I would much rather chip in to buy a pricier gift a child really wants rather than give something random they won’t use or enjoy. Doesn’t a random gift just add to the pile of kids’ stuff? How does that de-emphasize consumerism?? The trouble with asking parents to participate in a group gift is even if you say “no obligation” people will feel bad saying no, so I see how feelings could get hurt. I fully support low-key parties, but this doesn’t seem like a good example of an “insane” party idea – just one that needs to be handled with care and tact. :)
I loved seeing Grace’s makeover on Design Sponge!
