Great Falls Montana's Portion

Great Falls is one of the main cities that is found along Montana's portion of the Lewis and Clark Trail. It was Lewis and Clark who were the first known white visitors to the area, which they happened upon while navigating the Missouri River. At Great Falls, the Missouri River drops some 500 feet, which results in a rumbling set of rapids and waterfalls. Hence the city's name. Lewis and Clark were forced to portage around the rapids and waterfalls at Great Falls during their famous Corps of Discovery expedition, and nearly a month passed until they moved on.
Like many other Montana cities, Great Falls didn't start to gain identifiable status until the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was during this time that Great Falls Montana became both an important railway stop and a thriving industrial center. The city's waterfalls were used to create hydroelectric power, which also helped it to grow into a major supply center. As Great Falls quickly became one of the larger cities in the state, visitors began arriving to get a glimpse of the falls for which the city is named. They also came to see the studio of artist Charles Marion Russell, who was born in St. Louis and moved to Great Falls when he was a teenager. Russell specialized in painting scenes of the American West. He also made bronze sculptures and was an accomplished author and storyteller. When Charles Marion Russell passed away in 1926, the local schools shut down so that the children could watch his funeral procession. If you want to view some of the works of one of the most cherished past residents of Great Falls, a visit to the C.M. Russell Museum is in order.
One of the top Great Falls attractions, the C.M. Russell Museum complex displays some 2,000 artifacts, pieces and art, and personal objects that relate to Russell's life and career. It also features a home that Russell built in 1900, the rustic log cabin studio that came three years later, and even some works of art that were created by other renowned western artists. Great Falls Montana prides itself on being a cultural city, and there are a few other museums here that you might also add to your Great Falls travel itinerary. They include the History Museum, which has more than 95,000 objects on display that revolve around central Montana history, and the Children's Museum of Montana, which features fascinating interactive experiences that any kid is bound to enjoy. To learn more about Lewis and Clark's 1804-1806 expedition and how it relates to Great Falls Montana, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center is the place to go.
Found on a bluff that offers picturesque views of the Missouri River, the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center offers exhibits that celebrate the spirit of adventure. There are also ranger programs that can be enjoyed here, and you can hike to nearby Giant Springs State Park, which is another historic Lewis and Clark Trail landmark. Should you really be interested in making the Lewis and Clark experience the focus of your Great Falls travel plans, you can visit the city in June, which is when the Interpretive Center puts on its annual festival. This event celebrates both the Corps of Discovery expedition and the area's Native American history and culture. Getting back to Giant Springs State Park, it too is among the top Great Falls attractions, partly because it is home to the shortest river in the world. At least that's what the Guinness Book of World Records once labeled the Roe River.
While there are plenty of hot springs in Montana that you can visit, the cooler springs at Giant Springs State Park also attract plenty of onlookers. People also come to the park to do some bird watching, to see the fish hatchery, and to enjoy the Rainbow Falls Overlook, which is easily reached from the park. Visiting Ulm Pishkun State Park is also among the top things to do in Great Falls. It is at this park where you can observe the cliffs that Native American hunters stampeded buffalo over for more than 1,000 years. From the cliffs at Ulm Pishkun State Park, views of the Rocky Mountains just to the west can also be enjoyed.
After engaging in a little Great Falls travel, you can head west to enjoy all that the highlands have to offer, or you might take a northerly route towards Glacier National Park. Head south instead, and you'll eventually find Yellowstone National Park. There's a lot to see and do in Montana, and the Great Falls attractions can definitely keep you busy for at least a few days before heading on. This is especially true if you show up for the State Fair, which is among the top events in Montana. The overall affordability of the Great Falls hotels helps to make it an attractive destination, and since one of the six major Montana airports can be found here, you can fly right in!

Children rooms

Today is the party hosted by Laura Bray at katydiddys! As I was madly taking photos of my two wee one's rooms, I realized that they weren't up to showroom quality. I mean, who wants to see Tinkerbell undies strewn across the floor, or Barbie shoes sprinkled on the carpet? I decided that since the unmade beds & dollhouse debris wouldn't make for impressive snapshots, I would take pictures of special things in my girls room instead: close up shots that make you THINK the atmosphere is tidy.

We moved into our house 5 months ago & you'd think that would be enough time to get settled in. But, it's not. I'm not sure what the problem is, but my girls' rooms don't have that warmth & "homey" feel to them. They've shared a room for the past 2 years, so this is the first time they've had their own rooms. Maybe I just need to give them (& their rooms) some time to find their own decor identity. Anyway, I hope to get some ideas from other participants in this blog party on how to make their rooms more cozy & girly & less cold & uninspired.

The picture at the top is how I store my oldest daughter's dress-up attire. The large puffy dresses get hung right on the wall above her bed! It's artwork, it's a dress, it's artwork, it's a dress.

I painted the hangers to make it "extra special". And look! It's a cupcake! This was one of my very first cupcake paintings, about 5 years ago--long before I realized that I loved them so! I think I copied it right from a catalogue.

My daughter's pink bed is one of my favorite pieces. My mom picked it up at a garage sale for 3 bucks. I wish I had a "before" shot. It came with a headboard & footboard--but it belonged to a bunk bed. It was nasty looking. I sanded it, painted it, distressed it, waxed it, added finials to the posts & adorable white wood embellishments to each end. It was a lot of work, but well worth it. It was a surprise for her 2nd birthday---a big girl bed!


And I LOVE using mismatched linens--both old vintage & new vintage-looking. My oldest has pinks & blues & my youngest has yellows & greens.
I found this drawer to an old desk in someones trash! I added vintage kitty wrapping paper & hotglued buttons to the outside & now it hangs above my daughter's desk & holds her precious keepsakes. Free stuff rocks.

Hanging under the drawer is a banner I made. I found some vintage "ABC" clipart online & copied them, punched holes in them, strung some ribbon through, & swagged it above her desk. It's not only decorative--but useful: she refers to it often when stumped on her alphabet.


A trip to a nearby pottery painting studio resulted in this adorable hanging sign.

Artwork is very important to me & my kid's get to put theirs just about anywhere. Zoey decorates her door with loads of paintings & drawings.



I love the wooden letters you see at craft stores. And the wacky odd sized letters are right up my alley. I painted them out in different colors & hung them with that tacky putty stuff.


I also gave each of my girls a painting when they were born. Pazely has this above her desk.
Another cool find was this piece. I was told it is for holding patterns?? I use it to hold my girls magazines & coloring books. It sits in our living/dining room right next to a baker's rack which is FILLED with their art & creative supplies.

This is weird, but everywhere we have ever lived I have always had an obsession with making the girls bathroom cute. I love bathrooms! They are tiny & make-over pretty quickly.


The shower curtain rings were purchased from the Target $2.50 bin. I added the vintage buttons.


Above the girls towel rod is this vintage hand mirror that used to belong to my grandmother. I hung it on the wall at kidlet height so the girls can see themselves---you know, for that final check before heading out to play.


I love being "hands-on" in my girls' rooms. Most of their things have been thrifted or handmade. A lot of inspiration comes from books or magazines. Better Homes & Gardens puts out really cool Special Publications about "quick & easy decorating" or "kids' rooms". I snatch these up when I see them because they give SO many great ideas.


Now that you got a peek at MY children's rooms, go check out Laura's blog post (dated July 11 2008) to see links in the comment section & find other great children's rooms!! Party on!

Ice Luxury Hotels, Sweden

If we said the Explora Hotel on Easter Island was the most isolated luxury hotels in the world, we were wrong.

The IceHotel is the latest, craziest name on the Luxury Hotel circuit and it's 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in Sweden.

It's the world's first ice hotel and it's exactly what it says on the packet - a hotel with over 80 individually designed rooms, a bar, reception, and even a church, all made entirely out of blocks of ice taken from the nearby Torne River.

Colder than ice
You'll be wondering what the weather's like inside this baby. Rest assured, it's pretty damn icy, between 17 and 28 degrees Fahrenheit all the time. You can't even warm yourself up in the bar, because all the glasses are made of ice too. No warmth for the wicked.

And how about snuggling up at bedtime? Thankfully, although the bed's made of ice, they've thoughtfully covered it in reindeer skin and provided a thermal sleeping bag to keep your bits from freezing off. Here's the hotel's advice on going to bed:

"Dress in warm thermal underwear, put on a hat and slip into the cozy sleeping bag. Share the whole surrealistic ice-night with someone special. Let it be a night to remember."

No doubt.

Warming up in the morning
Staff come to thaw you out in the morning with a mug of hot lingonberry juice, whatever that is, and then stuff you in a sauna until you can move again. You'll spend your day ice fishing, moose tracking, or skating about on dog and reindeer sled trips. And in the evening, you can come back and stay in one of the hotel's separate heated cabins. By all accounts, one night in the IceHotel is enough of an experience for anyone.

Whose idea was it anyway?
Trust the French to have come up with this crazy idea. The IceHotel was born when French artist Jannot Derid held an exhibition in an igloo near the village of Jukkasjarvi, Sweden, the location of the current IceHotel. The town's limited accommodation was packed out and some guests had to spend the night inside the igloo. They must have been the trendy crowd, because the idea caught on.

If you're in Paris, not Lapland, you can have a similar (shorter) experience at the Kube Hotel, which has an Ice Bar along the same lines.

Nice Prices
A night in the freezer will set you back anything between 1120 and 5200 Swedish Kronors (US$175 to US$815) per person sharing a double room, including breakfast. The hotel only exists between December and April - in summer, the whole jamboree is dismantled and thrown back into the river.

Hotels Onda Verde

Hotel Onda Verde

“The Mediterranean has the color of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don't always know if it is green or violet, you can't even say it's blue, because the next moment the changing reflection has taken on a tint of rose or gray.”

Brisbane Hotels

Other Brisbane hotels include the newer 212 Margaret Street Hotel, situated near the Brisbane Botanical Gardens and offering views of both the Brisbane River and downtown Brisbane skyline.
