July 4th Craft – Handmade Rocket Garland

Fireworks, backyard barbeques and flag waving parades. Yep. It’s almost here and we’ve been doing a little July 4th decorating.  

july 4th rocket garland how to

Brenda of alphamom’s 4th of July Confetti Popper Rockets inspired me to make our own patriotic rocket garland. She has a great step-by-step tutorial, so if you are interested in doing this project, head to her blog.

It was an easy craft that the kids enjoyed. Our rockets however, do not include confetti or “pop” – too messy for this mom! They sure look fun in the window, but we hope to hang them outside if the weather dries up!

Annette Tatum’s New Little House Collection– Bohemian Inspired

Today I am thrilled to announce a new Simplified Bee sponsor, Annette Tatum’s Little House. Over fifteen years ago, Annette introduced her first collection of bedding with the goal of helping people create outstanding interiors inspired by their own personal layers. Little House was developed with the same philosophy of layering styles, but for baby and children’s rooms. The collection makes it easy create a one of a kind room by mixing and matching your favorite colors and patterns.

Annette also has some great advice for selecting bedding for a nursery or child’s room:

“When choosing bedding for your nursery or child I always advise to stay with themes and colors that will grow with your child. Heavily themed rooms tend to be dated more quickly and end up having to be re-done instead of added to. Think down the road and leave room for your child’s room to grow, and match your child’s personality and creative spirit. Purchase your furniture in neutral colors that fit any age. Add color in textiles that you can change easily as your child’s ideas and tastes change. Nothing too fussy. A well-lived in room is a sign of a happy child is my motto.”

For more of Annette’s ideas for blending fashion, lifestyle and personality into your home décor take a look at her book, The Well-Dressed Home.
I am a bohemian at heart quote
Little House recently released a beautiful, new line that I am excited to debut today. I asked Annette what she finds most exciting about the new collection,

“I am a bohemian at heart, so this collection was so fun designing. Lots of color and almost anything goes. I love that a more adult theme is now available for the nursery. Ikats. Suzanis are a welcome addition to the traditional ensembles we see for children. The great part is that the colors are even more vibrant because they are for the child and therefore more playful and adventurous.”
