Attention Mom's of Little Boys!

{ahem - sister, this means you Ü}

Not only have I found some adorable stuff for little boys out in blogland today, I also discovered a fantastic month-long special of things for boys going on RIGHT NOW!!!! {i know - you're so impressed ;) )

on to the goods . . .

ever wonder what to do with all those empty cans of baby puffs? {and if you don't have any, i'm sure you know plenty of moms who have little babies on these and can snag the can for yourself when they're done! just don't tell them why, otherwise they'll keep it for themselves. lol Ü}

and for the most exciting part *don't you just hate that i saved it for last? whatever - i know you scrolled down here first . . . * :

 

For THE ENTIRE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, Made is teaming up with Made by Rae (the two Made-Maids) and together we're going to:

To "moms of boys" out there, we've heard your woes! There just isn't enough info shared amongst us about BOYS. There aren't enough clothing ideas, enough tutorials, enough fresh ideas. Well ladies (and little gents), we're going to stock your Tonka Trucks full of info!

Throughout the month you'll find:
* TONS of Boy tutorials
* Boy clothing ideas
* TWELVE guest bloggers! (this part REALLY excites me)
* Boy crafts
* Boy bags
* Baby Boy stuff
* Boy giveaways
* Boy design tips

Boy, that's a lot! And remember....it's happening on TWO blogs!
Not a lick of girly glitter here for the whole month. It's gonna be hard. But I think we can do it.

You won't believe all of the cute boy stuff that has already been published on those TWO {not one, but TWO} blogs over the past three days! If you've got a little boy running around the house, you won't want to miss this!

Home Decor and Remodels via Centsational Girl

Centsational girl is an awesome crafty fairy! She needs to sprinkle some crafty dust on me.

are you ready for this? seriously? ok, maybe just a sneaky peak of her fabulousness . . . 

anyways - not that my bedroom will probably ever look as amazing as hers, but it's always good to have some awesome inspiration

I'm not a huge fan of the fabric covered headboard, but you never know

http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/09/feminine-french-inspired-fabric-covered-headboard/

I need to make these pillows!

I want to put this in my laundry room{hall}!  i think it's the cutest drying rack ever:

http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/07/diy-laundry-room-drying-rack/

i want to refurbish something so bad. i almost convinced handyman hubby {ooh, i think we'll just call him the handyman from now on Ü, every crafty girl needs to have a handyman hubby behind her, right? no? ok, well it do. lol} to keep an ugly green burlap chair my family was throwing out and let me re-upholster it. but alas, no. it was sadly taken to DI. poor chair. it would have made a good first-timer . . .

http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/08/ottoman-deconstructed-re-tufted/

*gasp!* want. need! must have!!! the prettiest master bath ever!

http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/10/grand-tour-master-bath/

http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/04/diy-chair-recovered-cinderella-story/

oh my heavens! this needs to be done to every oak banister in creation!

http://www.centsationalgirl.com/2009/07/the-staircase-reveal-part-one/

oh, and we'll need to know what color she painted the walls too . . . i am drooling. seriously. how is it that the most favorite thing of the day (the whole staircase redo) happens to be the most expensive? arg!
