We've reached the third and final installment of the climbing wall for the treehouse at my parents house. So far I have done the rock climbing wall, the ladder wall, and now I'm doing the gate at the top of the wall so the kids can get into the treehouse, but not fall off the treehouse..

I'm currently working on the tree house playground for my kids at my parents house for my kids. I already completed the rock climbing wall, and now putting in a climbing ladder on the other side of the wall!

Let's talk about Valentine's Day gifts for school staff members, classmates, and/or teachers. My daughter is in the special education program at our school so she has a lot of staff members that she interacts with. For Valentine's Day, to show our appreciation, I like to make sure that I cover as many of her adults as possible, which ends up being about 17 adults. On top of that she has 19 classmates that need Valentines. So around 36 people total. I like to give something that is meaningful, but also not super expensive. So I'm going to show you today what I'm using as both teacher and staff gifts as well as little things that we've put together classmates in the past.

It's been a little while since I did any tile mat designs since we've been in Argentina and I couldn't take it with me. Now that we're back and settled I figured it was time to unleash my creativity again and churn out a whole new set of holiday themed designs. Before we left for Argentina, I was leaning heavily into floral designs on my tile mats that covered the whole mat. I brought that back for Valentine's Day with hearts with a design that covers most of the mat as well as a few more simplistic designs.

My parents revamped their backyard while we were gone and had the bones of a huge play structure built for my kids as part of it. The whole thing is a blank slate for me to be able to add all of the fun things and I am SO excited. They already have the swings underneath, which is great, but the builders also made a huge wall for me that I'm putting a climbing wall on one side of and a ladder on the other. Today, I'm starting the climbing wall!
