This guy is 18 weeks old today. He's rolling around the living room and giggling like crazy. He loves to stand and wants anything and everything he can get his hands on. 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...

Thoughts on Santa

Ok, I realize that it's only September and that this is a post about Santa Clause. But the topic of Santa is on my mind a lot so I thought I would share our take on him. I know there are a lot of differing thoughts on the proper way to deal with Santa and kids. I understand that not everyone believes what we do and there are many ways that other families chose to do it. But we've chosen to enjoy his presence in our house because honestly I don't want Julian to grow up without the excitement of wondering, hoping, wishing, and joyfully awaiting his arrival.

I want Julian to enjoy that feeling for as long as possible! If Julian comes to me and asks if there is a Santa, my answer will be yes. Because the way I see it, there is! He is just as real as any other character: from a book, a story, a fable, a ...

Did You Know?

I've gotten asked quite a few times why we have chosen cloth diapering for our new little one so I thought I would share with you some of the reasons here. For us it is a combo of economical, financial, and preference. However, after doing some research, the answer for us was clear. Here are some facts that helped us decide to become a cloth diaper family: - Disposables leave behind an average of 2.7 tons of non-biodegradable waste (not to mention the waste produced by manufacturing them alone) per child. -With disposables, some estimate you spend an average of $2000 per child. Cloth compares at only an average of $150-$350 per child (with the added but minimal cost of electricity and water to launder them). -It's a little-known fact that cloth diaper children potty train earlier, and with less effort on their parent's part. This has mostly to do with the fact that when a cloth diaper is wet, they can feel the sensation. -Disposable diapers contain traces of Dioxin, an extr...
