Animal print doesnt have to be big and in your face. Subtle touches of zebra, leopord or giraffe add a fun graphic element to a basic color scheme. And since I am being lazy, here are some of my favo...
As a follow up to my registry post, there are a few things that I already knew I didnt need, or that I registered for and never used: Bassinet or Cradle Before she slept in the crib, H slept in the n...
One of the biggest requests I get from friends and followers is for a baby registry list. I have helped quite a few friends register, and I think it really helps to have someone walk you through what...
I saw a picture post on Facebook today that made me think. Memorial Day is a time to relax and spend time with family and friends. But more than that, its a time to thank those that have served our c...
Before we decided to try for a baby, I called my insurance company to get a basic idea of how much it was all going to cost me. Not that it mattered, but I am a planner and I wanted to know what to e...
Another color combo inspired by Pinterest. This one features a master bedroom, but the color and pattern mixing are just lovely. Perfect for a boy, girl or baby surprise. Source: bhg.com via Kimberly...
I am currently writing this post at 7:30 on a Friday night. From my office. At work. Yep, I am still here. You may wonder why I am writing a future blog post to publish instead of going home. Well, I...
Etsy is a great source for handmade crafts, and graphics you can print yourself. I recently hosted a shower and I got the inviation design from Pickle Doodle Design. For $15 you get a custom designed...
I had some left over white onesies from a project I did last month, and I thought it would be cute to dress one up for baby H. I used old-school puff paint to create this necklace for her and I think...
what?!? you can eat this monthly sticker thing? 7 months in and I am just now figuring it out! Weight: at 6 months and a week you were 14 lbs 9 oz, pretty sure you probably weigh 16 lbs right now, al...
The monthly onesies are nothing new, but I did have a couple people ask me where I got them when I used them at the shower I hosted a few weeks ago. For those of you not in the know, they are actuall...
H and I at dinner on Saturday. She never smiles in public. As you probably know by now, I am not the most sentimental person on earth. So I didnt write a mushy Mothers Day post. My Mom, MIL and Grand...
The Husbands grandmother was from Kentucky, so his family has some ties to the Derby, and we went again this year. This was our second time to go, and I was much more prepared with a fabulous dress a...
Another Pinterest idea I have been using lately are these baby wish cards. They are a free printable I found on pinterest, and they are available in 4 different colors: Source: laurenmakes.wordpress....
A few weeks ago I helped host a baby shower for one of my besties. She is expecting a little girl this month, and I am so excited for H to have a little friend and I see lots of mommy/daughter trips ...
The Derby was so much fun and we are on our way to the airport to go home and see the babe. My mom watched her while we were gone and she may have brought the stomach flu with her to Mimis house. Ya,...
H is officially past the 6 month mark, and I have been back at work for 4 months. I have only had one work-related-mommy-breakdown, so I think I am doing pretty good. Over the weekend I visited a fri...
As you can see, someone is enjoying her food. We started H on solids a few days before she turned 6 months and she absolutely loves it. She had been staring at our grown up food for some time, and st...
I see ikat fabric everywhere on Pinterest, and thought it would be fun to try to and paint it. I made this sign using some canvas and paint I already had on hand, so the cost was basically free. I tu...
My Derby hat it finished! Its actually not a hat, its a fascinator. You know, because I am Princess Kate and all. The hat was made by an amazing local etsy seller, Sandra. She took a small ivory fasc...
I debated whether or not to write this post, but I guess that is the beauty of having your own blog. You can write whatever you want. Within reason. Several friends have asked me this question lately...
H is lucky enough to have great grand parents on my Moms side of the family. When she was a month old, they came to visit her and we got a 4 generation picture - my grandma, my mom, me and H. It wa...
Call me crazy, but I have decided to try my hand at painting again. I miss being creative, and I miss my spending money! Ha! So for now, I am going to offer only one design, the block LOVE picture ...
this picture looks like one of those pictures you get when you ask your kid to smile and they give you a fake smile Weight:Not sure, we go to the Dr this week, but she sure feels heavy! Sleeping:Stil...
The Husband and I are going to the Kentucky Derby again this year (woo hoo!) and I am in full on fashion mode planning our outfits. The first time we went, I had no idea what to expect. I wore a na...
****I have a couple of friends that are about to have their baby, and they have been asking about an updated list, so I added to my original post to reflect what I actually used at the hospital.*****...
Hope your Sunday is filled with family, friends, food and an egg hunt!
Pinterest is a great inspiration starter for my blog posts. Since most of the friends I follow are around my age, they are in super baby mode, so I see lots of cool baby pins. I have even seen some...
Someone is ready for the pool! I think we are going to try it out this weekend for the first time. Wish us luck!
image from here It feels like Summer here in Texas already, ugh! We barely had a Spring at all, which means it is officially pool time! I plan on getting H a swim diaper instead of using disposable...
