I bought a little triangle picture frame hanging thing thing that I nailed to the back of the board. It just hangs on a nail now. Check your local hardware store in the hanging aisle.

hey Jessica, Thanks for your question. I hate to just refer you to the class listing, but there is a lot of information there on the actual deliverables that the course offers. (http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/phone-photography.php) This is a big class with many instructors all in one place so you're paying for different insight, challenges and app reviews from a large variety of folks without needing to search for it. I think some people like to take classes for inspiration as well as motivation to actually take photos or get projects completed. Having the class format and a sense of accountability helps them do this. That said, e-courses are not for everyone and if you haven't loved them before or already have many ideas and free resources (and yes! there are a lot out there!) then this might not be a great fit for you. :) Hope that helps a bit to clarify. I recommend getting in touch with Big Picture for further explanation and customer service.

We are going to give ourselves some time to adjust to actually having a baby and then cloth diaper as close to exclusively as we can. I do plan on writing about it down the line, but I feel like I need to have at least a few months of actually having a baby in diapers under my belt before I offer any insight! Basically though, the inspiration is how easy the whole process appears to be and the major cost savings/reduced environmental impact.

that is wonderful! congrats! :)

fixed! thanks so much for the heads up.

Really excellent point. Usually it's just the old ladies at the cut counter at Joann's or women in my bar method class, but I will be very careful. Thank you!!

beautiful birth stories! thanks for sharing. :)

Thank you! I am, yes, tonight actually.

pottery barn. :)

It's just a soft shell one from j.crew. I bought it two Christmases ago.

I read blogs exclusively through flipboard on my iPad. right now it's connected to google reader, but I heard that flipboard is "saving" the feeds so when reader goes it will still work. That's the plan for now.

thank you so much! here is a link.. they are cutting boards, but I stuck a hook on the back for hanging. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AHeirloom?ref=pr_shop_more

for light things, like canvases and most frames, I just pound a nail in. Shelves and heavy items, I find studs. :)

Thank you. I don't have a good general one. If you are looking to get into quilting, I always recommend Denise Schymdt Quilts. It's my fave.

We do get earthquakes. Our big furniture is anchored to the wall because of this. There is nothing hanging over the baby's crib and it's pulled away from the wall so the art can't fall in. This installation weighs about a pound and is over Paul and I so I am not too concerned. ;)

:) I hear you. I have none of those things. And no plan but to roll with it. This book is amazing for learning to roll.

Not sure... Didn't come with a tag.

I had my right arm up in the air and the phone pointed down at my feet to snap that shot. :)

Such a good point, and probably helping a lot. I also think I am just happier this year than I was last year and, of course, that makes a big difference too. ;)
