My Favorite Things - Gwen's Room

After giving you a little peek into Lily's room last week, I thought I should head into Gwen's room and continue to share a few of my favorite things. Gwen's room is by far my favorite room in the house. It's cute and eclectic, and full of old toys and nick-knacks that used to be mine when I was a little girl, plus some added extra vintage touches like a children's vanity built by Gwen's great-grandfather for her grandmother (Tanner's mom) when she was a little girl.

But one of my most favorite things in this room is a gold-painted wood star that hangs above Gwen's bed. When I was 7, my parent's drove my oldest brother to Utah to drop him off at the MTC in Provo. They spent a week there? I can't remember - I was 7. And when they returned I remember being so surprised to see that they had bought gifts for all us kids. For me, my mother had brought back what would later be called "The Prayer Star" by Gwen. It reads "Star Light . . . Star Bright . . . Help me remember my prayers tonight." It hung in my room until I moved out for University. Now it hangs in my daughter's room. I love it.

And, of course, I have to add a sleeping picture of Gwen, too.

Yeah . . . she is still sucking her thumb.

We're working on that.
