Oh, Happy Birthday Honest to Nod! I'm so glad to have found your blog so early on, it's been such an inspiration!
Favorite post... SO hard to choose! I love the whole Try This - FIC -feature, the projects are simple and colorful and so inspiring... I always feel like trying them out right here and there!

I love seeing how you did the fun wallscapes in the catalogs, the string and the umbrellas.

Happy Birthday Honest to Nod!
It's so difficult to choose...I'm a fan of all your "craft and activities".
But I have to say, I was touched by "Baby's first year in 52 photos"... My son (named Eliott ;) is turning one this summer and we have so many pictures of him...I think make this book for grandparents could be a brillant idea!

I loved the DIY on fabric covered plastic cup lights by Taylor Made. So adorable! So doable! So fantastic all around! Happy Birthday Honest to Nod!

Happy Birthday!!! My favorite post brought me some new ideas for decorating my daughter's room:) We are moving from the "little girl" room to "I'm almost a teenager and soon off to college" look! We chose turquoise, red, and yellow with zebra print bedding. It looks fabulous, but we are still in need of accents - the "Not Just for Boys" post helped give us ideas for wall and shelving accents. Love it:)

My favorite was the Easter Terrarium post. This was such a cute idea and I love terrariums.

I liked "Baby Steps to Building a Nursery..." an activity that's absorbed a lot of our time and money the past few months!

Graphic Stencil Wall Tutorial
As a “design challenge” person, this quick and easy to read tutorial was an excellent read for me. I understood the directions from start to finish and feel inspired to start on my space! The adorable animated pictures at the end bring joy and warmth to the blog entry. Thanks for doing an awesome job!

Happy Birthday! This is a crazy great blog!!
My kids would say the finger paint printmaking is the family favorite, but I just LOVE the images...so well styled and beautiful.
Looking forward to the next year(s)! Thanks
