Our Christmas Wreath

I am finally getting around to posting our Christmas 'wreath'! I have been terribly slow doing anything these days so, explains the late post! I asked my hubby to pick up some cedar boughs so I could get creative...here is what I came up with. Simple and pretty!



Essentially, this project cost $6.00 total. I had the NOEL sign from Home Sense last year. The Ribbon was re-used from my Spring Monogram Wreath. The cedar was the only think we spent money on! Josh saw a beautiful square wreathm but they wanted $40.00 so I said NOPE to that! I could make one, but time is a tickin'! So we went Simple and pretty!

Hope you are all enjoying the last few days before Christmas! It goes so fast!
Love,

Our Bloggy CHristmas Card

Hello everyone!! Hope you are all well :) We have been busy with Holiday stuff, Maternity and baby stuff and preparing the house for our little one. We have had to go for multiple scans as I have a large amout on amniotic fluid so we are keeping an eye on that. The lil man is BIG! At 32 weeks the Doc said he weighs 5lbs 8oz. WOWZA! So I have had to take it really easy and I try and help Josh-Daddy where and when I can. My feet DO NOT fit in anything but UGGS...and I had to borrow those from my sweet niece! Anyhow...I will be updating soon with the nursery pics. I want to get to IKEA for frames but I honestly don't know that I can do it...Hope to though!

Here is a little Christmas greeting from our little man to you...



I would like to thank a few blogs and blog mommas who have kept me inspired and allowed to to enjoy the ride of being pregnant with them! Thanks to Our Little Beehive and Bon Temps Beignet!!! You ladies have been so fun to follow and experience all this with! THANKS!

Nursery Beginnings...

One of the exciting things we get to do is our little man's nursery! I have been collecting inspiration pictures for quite some time. I always knew I wanted to paint the walls blue, but finding the perfect blue might have been a HUGE task. But guess what? It was quite simple!! I had numerous swatches of aqua/robin egg from over the past couple of years. The only place we hadn't looked was Benjamin Moore. We headed there on Sunday to take a look and found some very lovely blues. We narrowed it down to two different blues and Josh picked the winner. I am so glad we went with his pick! Its called Blue Seafoam. Hopefully this translates well on your screens:



We bought our crib, though it is not set up just yet. We have yet to get the mattress and bedding. The crib is the white JennyLind by DaVinci. It is by far my favorite crib design!

I have a vintage white dresser I refinished that I will reuse for a change table. Maybe change out the hardware? Uncertain to that just yet! I love what is on there already.

Remember this? It will be painted and put in baby's room to hold various baby needs :)

And of course some inspiration! I am not a theme lover for nurseries so I will likely take a bit from all my inspiration pictures.

Hope this gives you a bit of an idea as to my little man's soon to be first bedroom! It's so fun planning and executing it. Now...to continue the execution...

Cloffice aka Closet Office

We have been trying to come up with creative ways to combine my guest/craft room (the Dolly Room) with my DHs office/collectible room. Why? Well to make a nursery of course! Let me tell you, this has been the chore of a lifetime. It is so hard to combine these two types of spaces that Josh and I both agree on (yes, there have been hormonal tears!). Josh does however, like the idea of a 'cloffice' to use the space most efficiently. But the Dolly room is pretty girlie as it stands (But, he has his Garage right? RIGHT?!) As so many of us do, I have turned to Pinterest to find inspiration and ideas. Though I would share some with you.

Have any of you turned a closet into a workspace? Is it functional? Any great advice? We realized we need to but the "infrastructure" to be able to put stuff away and give it a new home. I will let you know how this goes! Its in the planning stages so...hopefully we will have someting in the near future!

Baby Shower!

My wonderful and talented friend Jenn over at Clean and Scentsible hosted a super fun and adorable baby shower for yours truly last weekend. I have to say, I was overwhelmed with the thought and love put into it. As this is our first baby we had nothing baby related prior to this shower and I am floored by the adorableness of 'all things tiny or baby'. Who knew baby boy clothes were so darn cute?! I just wanted to link you over to Jenn's blog so you can oooh and ahhh at her creativity and see how lucky I am to have a friend like her! Everyone involved did an amazing job! Thanks ladies! xoxo Click here to go to the baby shower blog post!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
