for good measure.

Ever since our first was born I wanted a large measuring stick to track how tall he grew. I didn't want one of those giraffes that measure kids' heights or any of those other animal/cartoon pieces {not that it's wrong if thats what you have}. But I wanted something more simple and vintage looking. I must have missed the PB catalog where they created a measuring "stick" to look like a vintage 6 inch ruler. I was visiting one of my favorite blogs for inspiration and saw that she had found a blog in which they made one modeled after PB's design.

I instantly fell in love, and so did my hubby who happened to be walking by the computer as I was drooling over it. That weekend I set out to make my own, so our now 3 boys could begin tracking their heights over the years.

It hangs here in the kids' hallway, between their bathroom and their bedroom.











We added the first measurements the other day. Their initials and the date.





I love it and the best part was it was so simple! {and yes you got a sneak peak of both the living room and the boys bedroom, I'll be sharing one of those with you tomorrow!}.

Thank you Jennifer for sharing your project and encouraging me to make one myself!
