Teddy Ruxpin "Naptime Hero" - #ThrowbackThursday #TBT
*contains affiliate link
It's Throwback Thursday
Sponsored By:
Take a stroll down memory lane with us and join in!
This is Teddy Ruxpin. He is my naptime hero. When my daughter was a baby, the only way I could get her to nap in her room in her crib, was to plop Teddy Ruxpin on her dresser and let him tell her stories. He also came in handy at bedtime and sometimes even his stories and songs would even soothe her from a toddler tantrum. I made sure I always had some extra batteries for him. He helped save my sanity as a new mom! Did YOU have a Teddy Ruxpin?

Exclusive Interview - David Bromstad - HGTV Star
Lisa: Hi David and thanks for spending some time with all the Planet Weidknecht readers! I've got some great questions that go along with Decorating Around the Rules of Apartment Living. I just sold our big family house and am renting a small "empty nest" home until my boys graduate college. The last house was over 3300 square feet and the new house is just 1600 square feet. We're on a budget and trying to use many of our previous decor in the new house, but it is very cramped and crowded. We can't exactly add on rooms, so maybe you can offer some great organization tips?
David: This is a common problem when you downsize whether it is temporary or not. If you are able to, choose your favorite and most functional pieces in terms of furniture and seating and put the rest in storage. Its very difficult to use some of your old pieces from a bigger home. Choose the decor that fits the walls and space the best without trying to display everything because then it will appear even more crowded. If that still doesn't seem to work, try selling some pieces on the Internet or yard sale and purchase some furniture that will fit!
Lisa: The windows in the rental house came with blinds, but I'd love to spruce up the windows with some curtains or valances. How can I do that without damaging the walls?
David: Try asking your landlord to install a rod for curtains so that you aren't the one liable when touching the walls. Adding curtains can improve the value of a home so many landlords will be fine with it. And honestly, it's super easy and inexpensive to patch a few holes.
Lisa: The laundry room in the rental house is so small that it will only fit a washer and a dryer. It's between the garage and the house, so if someone opens the garage door to the house, I may end up with a knot on my head. The laundry room does have a wire shelf mounted above the washer and dryer connections, but I'd love suggestions on how I might be able to hang things from the wire shelf.
David: You can purchase an assortment of hooks that are large and sturdy to put through the wire shelving that will give you different ways to hang things! Depending on what you are trying to hang you can also use cable ties and large S hooks. If that doesn't work for you, make a small investment at your local closet or container store and see what's available to replace that old wire shelf. Spending $100 can save you some heartache. When you leave, you can put the wire shelf back up or ask your landlord if he wants to keep the more practical one and he can split the cost or hopefully cover it entirely.
Lisa: Most rental units are pretty bare with neutral walls and my new rental house is no exception. Most of my furniture is earth tones and I'd love your ideas on adding some pops of color throughout the house. Can you help a gal out?
David: There are many ways to spice up a room with neutral walls. COLOR! Adding a wall mural to your room is an inexpensive option and will not damage the walls when using the SmartStick® technology. You can even re-arrange the mural at any time so the possibilities are endless! Also, adding color with a throw or accent pillows and accessories is inexpensive and makes a huge impact!
Lisa: David, thank you so much for sharing your ideas!
Keep up with David and his designs on Twitter, Instagram, and on Facebook!

The Pitcher
“I never knew I had an arm until this guy called out, “Hey you want to try and get a ball in the hole, sonny?” I was only nine, but mom said, “come on, let’s play.” This Carney guy with no teeth and a fuming cigarette hands me five blue rubber balls and says if I throw three in the hole we win a prize. He’s grinning, because he took mom’s five bucks and figures a sucker is born every minute. That really got me, because we didn’t have any money after Fernando took off, and he only comes back to beat up mom and steal our money. So I really wanted to get mom back something, you know, for her five bucks.”
A boy with a golden arm but no money for lessons. A mother who wants to give her son his dream before she dies. A broken down World Series pitcher who cannot go on after the death of his wife. These are the elements of The Pitcher. A story of a man at the end of his dream and a boy whose dream is to make his high school baseball team. In the tradition of The Natural and The Field of Dreams, this is a mythic story about how a man and a boy meet in the crossroads of their life and find a way to go on. You will laugh and you will cry as The Pitcher and Ricky prepare for the ultimate try out of life.
