Baby Fever

I have been looking for "stylish blogs/people" who happen to have a great "wish-list" for all things baby.

Ever tried to google "hot- must-have baby items" 

Doesn't always render chic and make life easier items than what was around 3 years ago when lil' bit was born.

Well, today I found it... Effortless Style!!

I have kinda blog stalked her all day long, shh dont tell...

check out her style board of all things baby... 

go see everything else fab she is up to...

Might be trying some new DIY projects this next week compliments of some of her great tutorials!

Age 2.75 years

I have been meaning to do this post for quite some time! It seems when u start planning things life hits the fast forward button!!

I had originally planned to not do shirts this fall, but who am I kidding!! I missed it!!

Here are quite a few phone pics of us since our trip to Disney in August.

Proud of her new hot pink shoes!

Going to visit Grammy at work!

Please ignore the obscene cable cord... Ugh how I loathe that thing!

Going with a friend to the hospital to meet a baby brother!! (not ours.. Just yet)

Completely hamming!! She is obsessed with her Barbie sunglasses!

Let's be real, this baby girl is a complete ham!

And continuing to grown WAY too quickly!!

Her favorite phrases and sayings:

"mommy, do you want to hold my little baby fingers?"

"Will, wuke, or Lilly and Luke you are being bad! I need to put you in time out!"

"oh daddy, you really are my prince charming!"

"no, I big girl, I do it myself!!"

singing abc's and saying "mommy, join me!" so stinking funny!

Did I mention her hair has grown halfway down her back??

(again, my digital baby book so I can remember)

And we are officially wearing size 4t and some 4/5s she is soooo tall that if the cut is not skinny the pants will fall right off her. 

Oh, and she just started wearing a size 7.5/8 shoe.

Almost complete den.

 Wanted to share a few highlights of the den I have been working on with a super fun couple!

orange paisley cut velvet fabric on vintage wingbacks

a grey-washed console table. complete with funky lamps

wallpapered bookcases (with fabric)

a distressed tray

and of course a good monogram!!

Just a few highlights of what we have been working on. 

Must say, this room has got to be one of my most fun projects to date!!

It's Real... It Happened!

We joined the minivan club!

Now enjoy my two  favorite minivan videos!

Watch the dad life more than once. you will die!!

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we ventured about an hour away from home to go and pick our own pumpkins. 

This place is very kid friendly and had alot for us to do!

We rode a tractor out to the pumpkin patch!

This little horse was the sweetest thing. When we would stop rubbing his snout he would paw at the fence for us to keep going. Adoreable! 

Her recent obsession with horses was just increased! haha

Den Design Board-client

Do you remember the post on the completely bare den?

Well here is one of the sample boards I shared with the couple.

It is crazy how you think you are going one direction and you end up going the complete opposite!

I go this weekend to do the final install of all the accessories.

Can NO WAIT to share with you guys!

A Nursery For Addison-Design Board

A friend is having a little girl and trying to figure out how to use existing paint and custom drapes and incorporate these into a nursery she loves.

These fabric options allow you to make these drapes work for the room.

For the rug bring a real punch of color to the room!

{a 4 x 6 of this Dash and Albert is only $104.00!!}

Be back soon with some accessories!!

Crafts Fair

We had one 2 weeks ago and look what I found for the nursery!



I just LoVE it!!

Well I am headed in this super cute fabric shop!!



Happy tuesday!

It's A ....

I have been really bad about sharing baby content on the blog lately.

Mainly because I have been soooo busy as of late.

So without further adeau.....

(via pinterest)

I have started to make my way through all the pink and pack away. 

(i secretly thought we would FOR SURE be having another girl so it was excitement and shock when we discovered it 's a boy!)

I found this banner on pinterest. I think I need to make it for when our little fella gets here!

We have started on the nursery and I hope to share some of it with you either today or tomorrow.

stay tuned for that!

I also have a pint-sized diva requesting a "once upon a time" party.

So we have started planning for that as well.

Hope we all start the week off on a good leg. 

Happy Monday all!!

Humbled Again

Here I am, flirting the fine line of wanting what I do not need, and being sad/and happy something was taken from me.

All women dream of the day her prince charming will bow on one knee and vow his undying love to her and present the most beautiful sparking stone she has ever seen. It is her "symbol" to the world she is taken, and a "symbol" of his commitment to give her the finest of the world.

Well 4 LONG weeks ago my engagement ring went missing. At first, the blame was placed on our two year old. Then the denial it was missing, now that we have cleaned out every drawer, moved major appliances and even cleaned out the garage there are two assumptions. One, the ring was accidentally thrown away or the dog carried it into the yard. Or, two, someone broke in and stole it. 

Unfortunately for me, the nightmare doesn't end there. I called our insurance company to find out my husband forgot to add the jewelry rider to our policy. 

I wait a week and looked more.

I call back a second time and the lady mentions mysterious disappearance and loss. We proceed to file a claim only to discover our policy doesn't cover mysterious disappearance and the only hope of filing something is to file a stolen report with the police department and at that point, the policy then states the maximum amount awarded is $1,500.00 That doesn't even touch the original appraisal.

So, here I sit having the most pathetic pitty party I have ever had. 

To be completely honest, weary is the best word to describe it. 

I wonder why did it have to go missing, but then I keep telling myself this is happening for a reason.

I feel the lord is trying to teach me something here. 

Best I can figure right now is he is "stripping" me of my worldly possessions and showing me the covenant Casey and I made with God is all that matters and the worldly representation is nothing but for show. 

Right now I don't understand it...but I know I will... and when the lord reveals this lesson to me; you bet your bottom dollar I will be back to share.
