Birthstone Inspiration: October

Pin It Now!

For as long as I can remember, I've loved having a stone assigned to my birth month. Mine is aquamarine, and I'm currently in a loving-all-things-turquoise-and-aqua phase. 

If you have an October birthday, you have two choices: opal or pink tourmaline. I'm going with pink tourmaline for this post. I know some girls think it's cool NOT to like pink. BUT, I've always loved pink, and I WISH it looked good on me. Most pinks just don't do well with my skin tone. :( 

Pink reminds me of all things girly, and I went crazy with it when my third child was finally a girl! It's a sweet, fun, happy color if you ask me. ;)

It's kind of hard to think pink in October because of all things pumpkin, but here we go . . .

I hope you enjoy these October gift ideas. It's so fun to give and receive gifts in a color theme!

Harry Potter Room Ideas

Pin It Now!

I can't believe it's been 20 years since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published. I actually watched the movie first when it came out on TV.

I decided to see what all the fuss was about since there was a lot of love/hate talk in the Christian community. Well, I thought the movie was fine, so I figured maybe the book was bad or something. I went to the library to find out for myself. I became hooked. :) The books and movies aren't perfect, but I fell in love with the story and the boy who lived.

My kids were toddler and baby age at the time. So, Harry Potter has just been a part of their childhood. My firstborn read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when he was 6 years old. I've read a couple aloud to my kids, and we've watched all the movies together, minus a couple of scenes or so. Anyway, from toys to games to costumes to birthday parties, my kids have done it all!

I love how Pottery Barn is celebrating 20 years with all of their AMAZING Harry Potter decor and room ideas. The whimsy in me is imagining receiving a mystery inheritance so I can buy a cabin in the woods and design it as a Harry Potter haven. I could rent it out to all the Harry Potter lovers out there. How fun would that be?!

Well, I probably won't be getting that cabin anytime soon, so I'll just enjoy looking and dreaming for now. If you or your loved ones are fans, consider making their dream room come true with these classy room ideas for boys and girls. The Common Room and Pride Lounge would be great for lofts or basements, I think. Christmas is just around the corner, too. :)

Just click the photos to view each room. Happy Shopping!
