I am very sentimental. This is not a secret, I shed the ocassional tear after watching the end of Disney movies and I get very emotional putting away the girl´s clothes cause I can mostly remember when and where each special piece has been worn. I also love looking back at pictures, especially birthday pics cause it is just such a special day for a little one being celebrated all alone and also having one surprise after another. 

We have had quite the birthday parties over the last few years. Each and everyone special on its own and I have loved decorating and planning them so much. Since our children are still young they probably won´t remember all of their birthdays and that is where my keep sake pouches come in handy.

I have thought up and down how and what to keep from their birthday parties and came up with some things I definitely want to keep every time.

What to put into your child´s birthday keep sake pouches

– the outfit they have worn

– cake topper with number or font

– little fondant figurines if possible to let them dry out before storing or any other cake 

– garlands or confetti

– cute themed accessories

– printed photos I took on their special day

– birthday garlands or a printed poster

– handmade birthday invitations

– a little something from their gift bags if there was a kid´s birthday party

Of course you can keep anything you like in your keep sake pouches. This is just to give you some ideas.

 

The pouches are simple document pouches but I find them to very practical for several areas in our home. I also have them in our playroom holding wooden puzzles, beads or small figurines. 

Mine are from SheIn and the size of a DINA4 sheet of paper. I get the pack of 3 for 5 Euro. They are made out of a soft fabric and breathable but you can get the standard colored plastic ones as well. Work great too. 

The golden sticker numbers will probably hold a bit better on the plastic document pouches but I haven´t had a problem yet so I am going to stick to the white fabric ones.

It was definitely time to do something with our boring hallway. I have thought about it for months and I came to the conclusion that just some color wasn´t enough. It had to be wallpaper and a mirror with a wow factor right at the entrance of to our hallway.

Color Theme

We had a blue runner in the hallway and the whole decor was also very blue and silver and gray and white but to be honest I do not like gray anymore. It is just too much in this house. This has to change so I was looking for a wallpaper with a beige background. I had several in my cart but decided on the greenery one. I has different kinds of palm trees on it and looks superior in the halln äü

  

 

What I have changed

In fact I have changed everything except the furniture. The statement piece besides the gorgeous wallpaper is the wooden mirror. It hits the eye right when you enter the room. The decor also matches perfectly and if you look closely I have used an old picutre we had in the old office before. 

It was a very quick process to paint the wall and add the wallpaper. All in all it might have taken half a day but the impact on this little room is huge. It makes me just so happy seeing it this way everyday I come home.

Don´t we all strive to take nice photos especially on the special days of the year!!! I personally like aesthetically pleasing picutures and I know not everyone agrees but in my opinion you do have much more joy with this kind of photos than having some trash or toys or anything else in the background you do not want to have. My meassurement of a great backdrop is do I want to frame this picture and have it sit on my sideboard ??!! A question you should ask yourself. If it is no a great homemade backdrop comes in handy and I am going to tell you how to get there.

Photoworthy Background for your Home Photos

For me personally it all starts with the balloon arch and then I go on from there. I make up my mind what colors I would like to have and then I go online and see what they offer. Most times I get a set but sometimes I buy the balloons individually. Totally depends.

So for this photo setup I went with a fringe curtain for the background and worked my way around it with a big balloon garland and some garlands. Since I had so much arch on the left I wanted to balance it out a little and got this flower string on the right. Cute and effective. You could also use this for kids pictures or some photos with your spouse.

The Valentine´s theme had to have bright red and whites and confetti balloons but there are no boundaries in terms of color combinations.

I have shared our art corner in our living room years ago and since we have moved everything into our playroom (reveal coming soon) we have added lots and lots of things to it. I have rearranged it several times but I think it finally looks good the way it is (might change my opinion in a little bit but for now it is all right, also this always depends on what art and crafts materials we have at the moment).

Art Cart Organization

We have the Ikea Rashult cart and it has the perfect size for all of our stuff. It has three stories and we have hanging container on one side to so it holds a lot of stuff.

The hanging container are also from Ikea but you can buy them on amazon or Temu as well. 

Organizing has always been my thing but to be honest it is hard with two small children but definitely manageable. So let´s start with the top storey. I have a little wooden divider (it can be also used for mail or clutches) and I have put all of our sticker and drawing books in there. We have a bunch and this ways we can finally see what we got. 

On the middle storey I have another divider to hold different kinds of papers/sheets. We also have felt sheets and foam rubber sheets here as well as sticker and a little basket for loose sticker and our googly eyes.

You can find all the small things on the lower level like washi tapes, erasers is cute shapes, stencils and anything else that could find a place in an art cart. 

I have got the golden letters on the hanging bins from amazon and it definitely helps to clean up faster and easier when you know where stuff goes.
