When I had a baby girl seven years ago, my least favorite color was pink. Though I wouldn’t consider myself a tomboy by any means, I had never been drawn to overly girly things. So naturally, I dressed my daughter in blues and stripes and, well, plenty of skirts – just not pink ones. If…
Truth be told, I’ve got a thing for redheaded babies. That precious bright head of hair and ivory skin, forget about it. And as they get older, they tend to develop the sweetest little freckles, which I have always sort of coveted. I think I’ve only ever done one birth announcement for a baby that was a…
Finding the perfect gift for a baby girl or her soon-to-be modern mama can sometimes be a chore. I tend to want to give something meaningful, adorable, and non-disposable (sure, diapers are great as an add-on, but not the entire gift!). I love all the options available today that just weren’t there when I had…
Many of the items I sell in my shop are templates that I don’t change up that much from order to order, but occasionally I get a client asking me to customize something to fit their needs. I recently had a new mommy ask me to modify my “Introducing” birth announcement to work for her twin…
I think it’s a cruel joke that society expects us to deliver birth announcements when we’ve just had a baby. As if I don’t have enough to do? Why not throw a party at my house, too and invite the neighborhood!?
You might remember a while back when I shared some stylish ways to babyproof your house and, more specifically, your stair railings. That’s what led me to create a railing guard from poster-sized sheets of plexiglass that I purchased at Hobby Lobby for $6 each, some frosted glass spray and some clear zip ties.
I can hardly believe it, but Graham is already 5 weeks old. Anyone who’s had a child knows how quickly time flies when all you want it to do is stand still (and then there are the days when you are in the midst of potty training or sleep training and you wish that the days and weeks would scoot on by a little quicker…).
If you were around earlier this year, you may remember when I started selling the “Capture the Little Moments” scrapbook & journal for 2014. I designed it as an easy way to keep up with documenting life throughout the year. I’ve been using it throughout 2014 and guess what? It’s working! I am actually keeping up with printing photos and journaling our goings-ons during each month.
You guys, I finally finished up Graham’s nursery and got around to taking pictures of it. Luckily I finished before he graduated college (ok, he’s only 3 weeks old, so I’m sort of exaggerating). It was a really long process, and especially difficult because I was simultaneously working on a shared bedroom for our older two kids and I was all prego and tired. But praise Jesus, I finished (though there are always little things popping up that cause me to think, “Hey, I should do that in the nursery!”). Sometimes Pinterest is more of a hindrance than a help…
In my quest to find artwork for baby #3’s nursery, I kept coming across this “Bind My Wandering Heart to Thee” wooden art on Pinterest: { inspiration picture via ontobaby.com } I loved that it is both a bible verse and fits the arrow/tribal theme I’ve got going in the nursery. I figured it would…
