Headboards and a Meltdown {sigh}

Photo taken before said meltdown


Soph was supposed to go to preschool today
for class pictures...
it didn't happen.
Instead, she had a giant meltdown
all because she wasn't sharing and had to go to time out.

Who knew this would send her into a tailspin!?!
I should have sensed her mood
when I painted her fingernails
and she demanded turqoise on one hand, 
purple on the other.

After the meltdown...
 there was smeared mascara,
disheveled hair, glitter about, a crooked mirror, two kids in the corner...
    you get the picture!

Even still, I love being a mom.

The fact that I haven't had sugar or white flour
in four days, 
doesn't help the scenerio.

On a brighter note:
Let's talk about my headboard {or lack thereof}.
I'm the claustraphobic type,
I despise clutter,
for this reason,
I don't have a "bedroom set",
 and for fear I'd drop a bunch of ca$h
only to get sick of it a few months later.
I love the peacock blue shutters
I saw at between you & me,
here are a few others I like.


(inspiration photos added later)

and iron headboards are always great, (but I already have two).
I may get really brave and make an awesome fabric one
for my fall break project,
but since I'm spending fall break in New York
I don't see how that will work.
Hmm, any suggestions? Or should I just leave it?

  1. She is just a DOLL BABY! So cute! Believe me, I have two girls, I KNOW about melt downs...you should have seen the 3 of us getting ready for the first night of dance. I turned into scary, witchy mom with one crying child and one yelling teen. It was ugly! ;-) Happens to all of us!

  2. Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments!
    I have'nt had a headboard for 3 years & I finally found an old door(big enuf to fit my king size bed) for $25..not alot money & easy to change when I get tired of it..I like the shutter idea too! What about hanging fabric behind the bed to make it look like a head board!! I'm your newest follower!

  3. I LOVE a fabric headboard! If you want to I say go for it! Maybe a neutral color?

    I was laughing about how you said that you should have sensed her mood based on her finger nail polish color choices!
