Artful Addition

One of my favorite places to look/dream/buy artwork from is Minted.com, check out

Avery's gallery wall to see some of the darling prints from Minted I've used. I'm been slowing adding a touch of orange into our living room and wanted to add some artwork in that colorway. I had some Minted credit, and found the perfect artwork on there for my living room. Art is always a happy addition to a blank wall. Hop over here to see my favorite Grey Paint Colors, I've used around my home. 

The print, I ordered is called

Meander by Betty Hatchett, in the 16x16 print size. I love that when you order artwork from Minted, you have the option to have it framed and choose what type of frame you want to use. For the artwork, I choose a white premium wood frame. 

The pretty print, is such a happy update to my living room and just the right amount of orange I've been looking for to inject more color in my living room though artwork. 

Have you ordered any artwork from Minted?

Etsy Valentine Card Roundup for Kids

Can you believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner? I get excited for Valentines when it relates to kids. My youngest Avery attends two preschools, one for Speech & Language and a regular Private Preschool so he has two sets of preschool friends and two parties he'll be attending this year, spoiled right! But that also means more work for me, lol.  I'm really excited for Valentines celebrations this year, since Avery's speech and comprehension has improved dramatically over the year, I find with each new 'holiday' totally using that words very loosely, its a chance to add new words and concepts into his vocabulary, which is a good thing. 

This year we'll be mailing Valentines cards out to family along with passing out cards to his friends at preschool and teachers. 

My go to source for Valentine's cards for kids is Etsy, here's my roundup from last year. Etsy has a great selection of cards ranging from print-at-home, semi custom and custom Valentines cards for kids. Check out these darling cards from Etsy, the ones below are a mixture of print at home and having them mailed to you.
