The Stockings Are Hung


We are moved in and settled enough that we pulled out our box of Christmas decorations a couple nights ago. It is amazing how much more like home it feels now that the stockings are hung. We don't have a tree because, well, we moved in only a week ago today, but I'm ok with not having one this year. Seems like an awful lot of work considering Christmas is next week. We have our stockings out, the nativity up, and various decorations around the house that help it to still feel like we've fully decorated. And we used our lights from our tree to decorate our front porch. So we're in and ready for the holiday. It was my goal to be settled enough that we could really enjoy Christmas. Mission accomplished. XO Meg

Photos of the Baby's Room

Image
I've finally taken photos of the baby's room to share with you. And while I sometimes feel like this room will never be "done" (whatever that even means), I decided that it's time to just show it as it is - a work in progress for a little one soon to arrive. (click on the photos to see them larger if you like) I made the flag banner by hand, as well as the painted artwork hanging on the wall. On the shelf is a green piggy bank from grandma, a piece of art that I made, and some vintage blocks. I had the photo frames already thrifted and repainted. I made these fabric hangings just by stretching vintage inspired fabrics that I love over embroidery hoops. Just to add some color to the side of the room with the closet. This is probably my favorite part of the room. There is no overhead lighting in our house so I put together a group of Chinese lanterns and we hung them from the ceiling. The large white one actually lights and is connected to the light switch on a dim

6 Months Pregnant

Image
I am 6 months pregnant this week and it hardly seems real. It's hard for me to believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I'm so grateful to still be feeling well. This belly is definitely sticking out and the baby loves to kick and squirm at both 11pm and 5am. I had an older man at Home Depot trying to guess my due date this weekend which was both cute and funny. He's certainly hoping for a June 4th baby which is his birthday. We'll be lucky to see this baby before July 4th, really! Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of posting pregnant photos on here of myself, but I know there are a few of you who are out of state and wondering. We go back to the doctor on Friday and will have a chance to see this little one's face. If there's a great photo to share, I'll let you know. XO, Meg

Round 1 is on the way!

Image
I ordered round 1 of my cloth diaper stash this weekend because they were on a crazy good deal and had gender neutral colors (which are hard to come by)! I'll be ordering from two different sites to have a little variety but I'm excited to have some on the way. Yes, I realize how ridiculous this sounds, but after doing as much research on them as I have, I'm just happy to have some finally on the way. 12 diapers for $60 including tax and shipping = yes please!! In case you don't know, that's a crazy good deal for cloth diapers. The average person spends about $15/cloth diaper. Woohoo for good deals! XO, Meg
