Chalkboard Mania!

Hannah's playroom (aka our dining room) has gotten a do-over recently.  I put her slide/climber outside since it is getting nicer out, put her mud pie maker outside too, and brought in an old IKEA entertainment center for more toy storage.  On the entertainment center I put her new dollhouse, and some Little People and a farm playset.  This gets them off the floor, and at toddler height.  I already had the furniture, so it didn't cost anything extra.


The next thing I did was sell her easel that I had just bought but didn't realize how much room it would take up and hung up a handmade chalkboard instead.  I used velcro easy off tabs to hang it, and it was hung in a matter of seconds.  I put my grandmother's woven stool under it for Hannah to use when playing.  The chalkboard itself is handmade by Aaron and I.  The white trim matches the trim in our house so it seriously looks like it belongs there!


Enjoy!

A few teasers...all the others are for my husband!

buy the same damn thing for less

In my quest to keep my toddler entertained, I came across this deal/mistake/awesomeness.

First go here and check out the family member prices for the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond:  http://www.smv.org/join.html

A 12 month family membership is $95.

Second, go to the Virginia Aviation Museum of Virginia (located at the Richmond airport): http://www.vam.smv.org/membership.html

The same 12 month membership is only $65.

It doesn’t matter where you buy the membership from, it will still be good at both the Science Museum and the Aviation Museum.  The only difference is that the Science Museum will give you IMAX DOME passes and special member’s only parking.  I’d rather pay the $65 and forgo the movie passes, but that’s just me.

You can thank me later for your awesome savings!
