I’ve been MIA for awhile…for the best possible reason. I’ve been spending time with my sweet baby boy! It has been so much fun and I couldn’t love this kid any more. He recently turned 2 months and I made him a cover model to celebrate :) Since this is the only creative thing I have done in awhile this will have to hold you over. But I promise I will be back soon! I have some projects I did in his nursery to share and I am going to get back into posting recipes and other DIYs in the near future.

Nursery Inspiration
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may know that my husband and I are expecting our first child (a boy!). We are over the moon and I have just started feeling the strong urge to nest. I’ve been told this would happen but man, it is hitting hard. Everything from organizing, to cleaning, to purging, and the most fun (but also overwhelming) part…planning the nursery! I of course spent a bunch of time on Pinterest looking at nursery inspiration, and I have changed the direction I wanted to go a few times, but I have finally settled on a theme. If you can really call it a “theme” it is more just neutral colors with a bit of a woodland feel. I want to keep it very subtle and sophisticated and create a calming space for my baby to sleep in, and a space I like to spend time in. Here are the products that I have either already purchased or are on my wish list.
- Fisher-Price Convertible Crib
- Woodland Creatures Mobile
- Faux Deer Head
- Zaraza Rug
- Llama Bookends
- Faux Wood Removable Wallpaper
- Geometric Wood Lamp
- Southwest Cross-stitch Pillow
- Bear Throw Pillow
- Comfort Swivel Rocker
- Sherpa Plaid Quilt Set
What do you think of the direction? I will of course be sharing more as the nursery comes together so stay tuned!
