Before and After: Mini Rocking Chair

My first ever Facebook Marketplace purchase – a total success. I bought this adorable little rocking chair for poor little Owen who has no toys anywhere and hardly gets a lick of attention {Opposite day}. Since Owen thinks he’s a big boy who can hold his own bottle and thinks he can do a better [...]

Space Invader Strikes Again

My four month old found a corner of the house that he hadn’t “peed on” yet. I think this pretty much covers it now, my house has been fully mommy-fied.

Sweet Little Feet

In LOVE with this gift from Face to Face Framing! Brigitte so generously sent this frame with a picture of my little bugger from Nicole Hoxie Photography. I almost boobed a little when I got it because I already forget how tiny those little feet were. These little feet can hardly stay still now…

New Mom: What I Know Now

I wasn’t going to continue the series, but I couldn’t help thinking back to all of the advice I’ve received from comments on the blog, and how dead-on they were. I thought I’d share my thoughts… What you said — and you were RIGHT: Pampers for boys – Huggies for girls. I used the Huggies [...]

Okay, not really much you can do about all the baby junk, but here’s how I’m keeping it in check: Luckily I remembered this cute “grass” drying [...]

Baby on The Way

I couldn’t stomach writing any posts here until I had some news… I have been QUITE distracted with a loooong week of failed expectations and emotions. HELLO! My poor husband has seen enough tears to store for emergency preparedness and has said all the right things and hopefully found an outlet of his own seeing [...]

The Baby Room Reveal

He may not have a name yet, and he may not actually be spending any time in this room for months, but, well, it’s all ready! So much of this room was a collaboration of friends and family, and over 90% of it is used or handmade. I don’t know if there has ever been [...]
