Family Photos

It's that time of year where it's time to find a family photo for the Christmas cards. We had a couple of options from when my family was all here in August when Julian was only 6 weeks old, but decided to try to be a little more updated than that for cards. So Dustin and I set up my DSLR camera on the dresser in our bedroom with the tripod and the remote, we all snuggled up on the bed, and started snapping some photos. We had so much fun and within about ten minutes, we had tons of photos to choose from. I loaded them on my computer, did some editing to black and white, and ordered our Christmas cards - all within about an hour from start to finish. I ordered them from Shutterfly and a few days later they arrived. I had most of them addressed and ready to be sent out on December 1. I love to see photos of friends and family each year and look forward to sending out ours each year. Hardly seems like a year ago since we sent out cards that were from "Dustin, Megan, and Baby Brothers." Here are the photos from our cards plus a couple of extras that didn't make it onto the cards. 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
