Just go to Alaska!!

The FCC requires each home to have a quiet area, it's a great idea for when a child needs some quiet time away from the group for a variety of reasons.  I have been trying to come up with a cute idea for my quiet area and have been coming up empty.  I am addicted to www.pinterest.com and I was ecstatic when I found an idea pinned by madeintheshadeinsecondgrade.blogspot.com.  Having the opportunity to live in Alaska for four years was an amazing experience and I miss it every single day, so bringing a little bit of the beautiful state to The Owls Nest just seemed like the perfect idea.  I bought a green bathroom rug from Target, printed off some pictures from Alaska, and made a sign that says "Alaska: A place to chill".  I'm going to add a basket of books, stuffed animals, and quiet activities for a child to do when they are in Alaska!
