This Blog and Infographic will review tonic reflexes, their significance if the reflex persists beyond the typical age range, and the possible impact on a child’s functioning and role performance. Last but not least, this blog will suggest therapeutic interventions that are known to help inhibit the activation of tonic reflexes and advance postural control as a foundation for optimal functioning.

DIY Primitive Pottery Firing: Today, ceramics are all around you. The bowls and plates that food is served on, the inside of electronics that I am typing with and you are reading on, and toilets where the contents of those bowls and plates are returned. But have you ever t…

Happy Farmhouse Friday to you! Thanks to all of you who left sweet and understanding comments about rotten attitude yesterday. When I went back and reread my post later, my attitude seemed even more silly. It's a sunny, beautiful day today, and my outlook is so much better. I've always know gray, dreary days affected my mood - I just wish I could stay home on those days, so I'm not out finding fault with everyone I cross paths with! :) Okay...back

Ok, I confess... I have a little bit of a "thing" for primitive kitchen collectibles. Wooden bowls, stoneware crocks full of rolling pins an...

It's an extra special Head Over Heels post! Why? Well, I was super excited to share it and I feel bad that I didn't get posts written for our Guest Room and Master Bedroom project as promised. But I am sure you will forgive me after you see all the pretty images in this post :) Get ready, it is time for Bachman's 2012 Spring Idea House! This Spring's house is a "Relaxing Renewal" celebrating spring energy and renewal. As expected, the house was incredibly inspiring so it had to be in this week's Head Over Heels spotlight. I think by now you know the drill with the Idea House but just in case: Bachman's is a Floral and Gift Garden here in Minneapolis, and their Idea House was their original founder's house built in the 1920's. The company now uses the house for their seasonal Idea House creating entirely new rooms for each of the four seasons. Everything about each room is different for each season's idea house, right down to the paint on the walls. When you enter the house you get a brochure that lists all the details for each room including the paint color and 'ideas'. The cool part? Everything in each room is for sale! We'll start in the Dining Room, I will list all the Ideas at the end of each room. I tried to keep this post a little more simplified than the ones in the past, hope you still enjoy it! Dining Room Hand-carved Hungarian dough bowls hung as wall art and planters Napkins and metal flower clips used as chair decor Envelopes as guest place cards Craft tags as wine charms Striped wallpaper made from tree wrap Window valance made from table runner and clip-on tablecloth weights Hanging glass bottles with jewels added to lampshade to create a chandelier Kitchen  Newspaper as wallpaper and cupboard decor Swinging restroom doors used for wall decor and organization Bin scoops as wall shelves Wire baskets and plants as window valances Lighting added to permanent vine ball to create chandelier Radiator turned into shelving unit Wicker baskets with decorative forks as utensil storage Table runner used as a window valance Planted mason jar mugs and seed packet party favors Wood drawer turned into wall shelf Living Room Statement wall piece made from vintage ceiling tins and medallions with mirrors Coffee table made from a roof vent cover and mirror on a laundry basket base Side table made from salvaged wood Milk can as container/ vase Salvaged buckets and pails used as planters Decorative tin panels, fabric and lights added to built-in cabinets Sunroom Church pew used as a table bench Tall, frosted glass vase turned into a table lamp Twine balls used as curtain finials Crates used as rustic vase holders Oversized metal paperclip used as a napkin ring Lower Level Bathroom Metal bin drawer used as toilet paper holder Collage of vintage-inspired mirrors Iron grate and table runner used as window treatments Twine holders as towel racks Front Porch House numbers cut out of sheet moss Metal sink used as a potting bench Clothespins as plant markers Egg shells as seed pots Toothpicks and page flags as plant markers Artwork made from seed packets and springs Vintage theater seats decorated with burlap letters to spell "GROW" Seed pots turned into light shades Suncatchers made from marbles and wood planks Permanent moss orbs and discs as ceiling art Lawyer's cabinet used as storage unit Stairwell Wall decor made from framed birch poles, permanent stems and canvases Curtain panels made from oversized shutters Vase mobile made from bundled birch Radiator drip pans and doorknob plates used as wall art with coat hooks Master Bedroom Headboard made from a wall painting and garden trellis Salvaged tin nightstands Writing desk made from sawhorse legs and salvaged wood with postcards under glass Window frame as standing mirror Vases and book pages turned into floor lamps Fireplace screen and vintage photos as wall art Floral pins as drapery tiebacks Vase trio as pencil holder Jewelry organizer made from wall frames and iron twigs Ceiling light fixture made from garden orb and permanent floral stems Boy's "Jungle" Bedroom "Grass Hut" bed loft made from scrapped wood and thatching Light string made from coconuts Bamboo pieces cut into dresser handles Bamboo made wall canopy with permanent green plant accents Permanent green plants and stems as window valances Monkey-shaped vinyl decals applied to boards as hanging decoration Tree stump and grass mat as a table and chairs Floor lamp and table lamp made from coco basket liners, bamboo & tree rounds Turtles with magnets as tic-tac-toe wall game "Grass Path" floor rug to bed made from grass mat Tiki torches with tissue paper flames Girl's "Garden" Bedroom Window valances and light shade made from garden fence Storage bin labels made from floral candle rings and stenciled fabric Hardware cabinet as nightstand Garden gate with metal flowers as headboards Quilt hoops as wall frames and bulletin board Children's chairs used as wall shelves Baby bathtub used for toy storage Spools used as drawer pulls Magnet boards made from cabinet doors Upstairs Bath Wine bottle holder as towel rack Keys hung as shower curtain embellishments Wall case trio used as toothbrush holder Permanent greens fashioned as window valance Wine bottles filled with colored water and permanent floral stems placed in window & toilet tank Wicker vase and wall hooks used for toilet paper storage Inspiration Den Barn door hung on wall slides to hide TV Hand-painted window drapes made with decorative paint roller Wall shelves made of books Wheelbarrow cart as coffee table Windmill base turned into floor lamp Windowpanes turned into decorative bulletin board Decorative papier-mache globes Hand painted table lamp and shade Wire baskets as DVD & magazine storage Coin purses as wall mounted storage pockets Lamp shade frame embellished with keys Lastly, take a look at these cute ideas in the hallways. Bachman's did have them listed in the brochure, but I thought they were so clever! I loved the antique clock in the laundry chute and the lantern near the backdoor entrance along with rustic hooks. Too many great decorating ideas right?!? Which ones were you Head Over Heels for? I thought they came up with a lot of fun window valance ideas, but my favorites were the collage of vintage mirrors in the lower level bath and the chandeliers made from the lampshades with hanging glass bottles. What did you love?!?! What are you inspired to add in your own home? The Idea House will be open until April 15th, if you are local make sure you stop by! It's hard to miss the big pink house :) If you want more inspiration, here are the links to past Idea Houses: Holiday 2011, Fall 2011, Summer 2011, Spring 2011, and Holiday 2010.  ************************ PLEASE NOTE: In case you didn't read the top of the post, I just want to reiterate that this IS NOT OUR HOUSE and I am not employed or affiliated with Bachman's in any way (which means I did not decorate the rooms shown). I am a HUGE fan of the Ideas House and love sharing it as long as they allow people take photographs when they visit. It seems some people have been confused about that and I would NEVER want to take credit for something I did not work on. There, I feel better now :) Hope you found some inspiration, thanks for stopping by! Linking this post up over at Southern Hospitality!

Bien plus connue outre-atlantique qu'en France, Tasha Tudor (1915-2008) était une célèbre auteure et illustratrice de livres pour enfants. Considérant ne pas être née à la bonne époque, elle a vécu très longtemps dans une jolie maison isolée entourée d'un jardin enchanteur, sans eau ni électricité et en quasi autarcie, cultivant fruits et légumes, et cousant elle-même ses vêtements, dans un univers que n'aurait pas renié la famille Ingalls. Ce faisant, c'est tout un univers enchanteur et bucolique qu'elle nous proposait de découvrir et qu'elle a partagé souvent au gré des ouvrages qui lui ont été consacrés. Un univers où elle a vécu heureuse ainsi, sans aucun doute, que tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de pouvoir lui rendre visite.
