Baby Updates and Simmons Kids Slumber Time Bassinet Review

April 28, 2018 Leave a Comment

Hi. It has been so long since I’ve done my “regular blogging.”  Needless to say, I have been very busy getting to know my new best friend and future office assistant.  Thaxton is growing, growing, growing.  He is now 5 months old and weighs 16 pounds!  He also recently started eating baby cereal and is now on his way to eating his fruits and vegetables.

He is a happy baby…he only cries when he is sleepy or not feeling well, and is just a pure joy to be around.  (I often call him “Mr. Happy” or “Mr. Smiley” among other fun nicknames.)  I honestly don’t think we could ask for anything better in a baby!  And of course, he is super cute and beautiful. (Although his dad and I may be a little biased there.)

The only road bump we’ve hit along the way is that Thaxton is one of many babies to be diagnosed with torticollis and plagiocephaly, and so he has to wear a helmet for a few months.  (I will try to post more on that later.)  But other than that, the past 5 or 6 months have been just amazing!  I get a lot less sleep, and I feel I am always on my feet….but it’s all truly amazing!

As I get back in to blogging, one of the things I want to start adding to my site is reviews of some of my favorite baby products and some baby tips and tricks that I’m using.  This is extremely hard, because I have SO MANY IDEAS and SO LITTLE TIME! [Read more…]

Our Forest Friends Nursery Reveal

September 14, 2017 Leave a Comment

In the past few years, we have done several home makeover and DIY projects.  We’ve done a little painting outside, put up new light fixtures, painted furniture, gotten new appliances, and bought all new furniture in our living room, but I don’t think anything has been quite as exciting or as fun as putting together our new baby nursery!  After deliberating over a few themes and color schemes, I finally decided on the Forest Friends theme from Sweet Jojo Designs.

I LOVE this brand.  I first attracted to the overall look and colors of this set, and when I saw all the different types of accessories that were available, I was SOLD!  I’ve seen plenty of bedding sets with just your basic sheet, comforter, mobile, and diaper stacker.  If I wanted any other pieces, I’d just have to look around for something that sort of matches, but all of the Sweet Jojo Designs collections have EVERYTHING you could possibly need to decorate your nursery, including matching wall art and wall decals.

Apart from the great designs, the collection is also very high quality, and each nursery collection has a matching toddler and child bedding set, so when baby Thaxon gets big enough for his toddler bed, I’ll just have to get a new bedding set, and we can continue using the rest of his decor!

Our Nursery Furniture – Preview and Products

July 10, 2017 1 Comment

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. The opinions are my own.

As many of you know, I’m getting ready to welcome a new little one into the world.  HE is scheduled to arrive on November 17, and I’m currently in the process of getting the nursery decorated.  Today I’m sharing the nursery furniture that has been purchased.

Chest and Changing Table

First we have the South Shore Fundy Tide Changing Table and 4-Drawer Chest.  I purchased these on Amazon.  The set is available on other websites, but Amazon had the best pricing.

This is a great looking set. The color is espresso, but I think there are other colors available. It was very important to me to find a changing table with drawers, because I like to have things stored so that they are hidden.  The South Shore Fundy Tide Changing table has two drawers, plus a shelf for storing items.  And another great thing about this item is that we can still use it in the baby’s room long after a changing table is no longer needed.  I figure I could use for toys, extra clothes, art supplies, or anything else in his room, and then I just have to remove the changing pad, and there is a place to display items.   [Read more…]

Cabin Curtains for my Kitchen

June 20, 2012 2 Comments

Before I get to today’s scheduled post, I thought some of my “regulars” might have been wondering what happened to this week’s giveaway.  Yes, there will be one, but it will posted tomorrow per the sponsor’s request.  (And here’s a hint: Groceries!)

One thing I’ve worked on in our house the last few months, is making the kitchen a little more thematic and color coordinated.  At some point last year in one of my posts, I said that our kitchen was  having a bit of an identity crisis.  So I’ve done different things to make red the primary color, using apples, red checks and plaids.  Now I’ve been shopping for things like curtains and curtain blinds.

 

For my windows I chose: Casey’s Cabin Window Valance by JoJo Designs Red

And I have to confess, and I know I may get some strange looks or laughs for this, but they are actually nursery curtains!  I was searching for plaid curtains when I found these, and then afterward I found all the other nursery accessories! (lol)

 But I decided to go with these anyway.  I liked the different  colors and patterns, and it seemed perfect for a country style kitchen!

What do you think?  Oh, and in case you’re interested in this nursery theme.  Here’s a picture of the crib and all the accessories!
