Happy 100th Post! Jumping man on a trampoline tattoo

This is officially my 100th post on this blog!  I have worked crazy (obsessively) hard and have had tons of fun in the process!  One hundred posts may not be a lot in the grand blogging scheme, but it’s an important milestone and I’m surprisingly excited about it!    So I am here today to celebrate my 100 posts, even if I’m the only one who cares or ever even reads this!

And since I’m celebrating, I’m sharing a simple and fun idea to keep your kids (or you) occupied.  We have had so much fun with these jumping man on a trampoline tattoos all week!   I’m not going to lie, I looked down at mine all day and smiled as he jumped!   (I’m not sure if this is the original source, but it’s where I got the idea).

We moved in October 2012, and I started this blog as a fun way to document turning our house into a home.  (That and when we moved we didn’t bother getting cable TV, so I needed another way to pass the time after the kids were in bed).  I have been pretty distracted by all these projects and I haven’t actually done a whole lot of work on our house yet – as you’ll see from the decorating category – but there is still a ton of work to be done!  Who knew blogging would be so addictive and would make you try so many different things!?
