SMALL BEDROOM MAKEOVER: AIRPLANE INSPIRED ROOM FOR A PRE-TEEN BOY

Alternately titled:  Why our oldest son sleeps in a closet. By now most everyone has heard of ‘tiny houses’ – little living structures, usually on wheels, which make use of every square inch.  I’m totally a fan of the idea, but it just wouldn’t be a practical way of living for our family.  If a…

    Hi Angela. This segment of your blog made me so happy. I am the daughter of Jean Lee-Brown, your grandma’s lifelong friend. It was fun seeing the photos of Amy & Harold’s home. I was there one time many, many years ago. I miss the days when your grandparents were in Arizona. We were able to spend a great deal of time with them and got to know them very well. Amy and Harold, along with Norb and Helen, spent many holidays with us. I really miss those days! 
    You have a beautiful family. It will be fun stopping by your blog to see your family news. Please greet your parents for me! It has been fun spending time with them in the last few years.
