One minor drawback to using a nonconventional color scheme (gray, Tiffany blue, orange, green, black & white) for the nursery is that some of the items that I might have purchased ready-made aren’t available in a coordinating color. One of these items is the changing pad cover. The closest I could find was white, and I just don’t like {…Continue Reading}
I finally have the quilt finished for baby #2’s nursery! I’m really happy with how it’s turned out; I was a bit hesitant about the polka dot border but I do like it now that it’s all bound and quilted. I had a pretty good debate on how to quilt the border, but I decided {…Continue Reading}
I got around to painting the nursery last week – I’m really glad I got it done because just afterward my right hip started acting up. I’m not sure if it’s sciatic pain from the baby sitting on it, or if my hips are over-relaxing from the hormones. Either way, it’s not fun and causes intermittent {…Continue Reading}
Sorry it’s been two weeks since my last post! Crazy heat, third trimester fatigue, and summer life have just caught up with us around here. I’ve been making decent progress on prepping the nursery, so there will be some posts coming up about that. I haven’t been completely unproductive. I made this fish pillow for {…Continue Reading}
After bath, I always put lotion all over Arden. Recently she’s become enamored of the process and gets lotion in her little hands and rubs it on her legs. I got to be the lucky recipient of some of her attentions tonight as she rubbed lotion all over my 27 week belly… … and my {…Continue Reading}
My Dad and I tackled a big project in our house last week – shelving in the basement. Our home was built in 1918 or thereabouts, and this room was the coal room, so pardon the dark and dreary appearance. The mask is because he’s crazy allergic to dust, mold, and dog dander and the basement {…Continue Reading}
We had Arden’s second visit to the dentist this week. I’m not sure what’s going on with the goofy look on my face, but she did awesome! She did super with the hygienist; she really didn’t want to let the Dr. look in her mouth, but she went ahead and did it. She’s got all {…Continue Reading}
I have the top of the quilt mostly done – just need to add the borders and then we’re on to quilting! I really love how this turned out. It’s not real obvious in the photo, but the center square of each block is gathered. It’s such a little detail in a simple design, but {…Continue Reading}
Arden helped me bake Daddy’s favorite cookies for Father’s Day – gingersnaps! We didn’t get to spend very much time together on Sunday since Dave was heading to the airport for a business trip, but we had breakfast at Tim Horton’s on the way and I think he got a couple of cookies. The rest {…Continue Reading}
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Even before having a child, I looked for ways to save money on health and wellness products, but since the birth of my daughter it’s become even more important. One easy way for us to do {…Continue Reading}
