Nursery Tour: Orange and Robots

3 Comments Uncategorized
My nursery (from when I was a baby) was made with love by my mom and my dad. It was a a Care Bear nursery. My dad did wood burnings and paintings of all of the carebears for the walls. My bedding was handmade. The curtains were handmade. My dad even surprised my mom with a beautiful rocking chair that had roses wood-burned all up the back of it. My mom put so much into my room and it was something I always looked forward to doing when I had my children. 
Our first painting job as husband and wife… crazy.
Painting the baby’s room
B put together X’s crib (with very little help)

I knew I wanted bright colors and robots for the theme for X’s room as soon as I found out that he was a boy. I spent forever looking for orange crib sheets (found some for $70, but decided to make them for a lot cheaper instead) and robot decor. In the end I made most everything in his room just because if I did find something it wasn’t baby appropriate or it was too expensive. 
Anyways…enough chatter, on with the pictures!

Outfit Post: Crayola Inspired

2 Comments Uncategorized

I loved this outfit… Well, until I saw the photos afterwards. But, it made me HAPPY with all the bright colors.

Things I realized too late with this outfit: 1. Impossible to nurse in…I had to unzip completely before feeding my son. 2. My new nursing-enhanced, breast friends were too large in the dress and hid away the lovely red belt. 3. Someone might have mentioned that it looked like a Crayola box threw up on me.

But, I sure did feel adorable.

Outfit details:
Dress- H&M
Tights- Mustard!!!! From Target
Shoes- red maryjanes from Kmart
Jacket- Green trench from Old Navy
Purse- White (and $3 on clearance!) at Payless
Bracelet- Made by me! Tutorial coming soon.

I hope you had a fabulous weekend and are ready for an awesome Valentine’s Day week.
