Gifts For The Hostesses With The Mostesses

I struggled with finding hostess gifts for my baby shower. When I buy a gift, I always try to find something that I would love to get. Sometimes this is really easy and sometimes it's kind of hard. I finally decided on these cute pouches from 31 Gifts. I'm pleased with how they came out (for the most part) and think they are so cute! I plan on filling them with notecards I picked up from Paper Source, someBath & Body Works lotion and of course a thank you card.

Adios, Craft Room!

This is my second favorite room in the house and I am sad to say it has been dismantled and moved down the street. With Simply Sassy being as busy as we have been, it just made sense to move our stuff into a larger space and out of the house. Also, now that our guest bedroom is a nursery, we needed another room for overnight guests. So, here is the room now (we've stripped the bed and still need to paint it black, but you get the idea):

Nursery Closet

Poor baby doesn't have any clothes!

Juuuuust kidding!

Everything is washed and all nice and organized thanks to these handy little dividers that I found on Etsy:

Speaking of Etsy, how cute are these burp cloths? I thought they were rather appropriate.

Scout & Dash

Since it's been awhile, here are Scout & Dash. Love these guys!

Moi

I haven't been taking weekly pictures, but occasionally I will if I think about it. Anyway, here I am at 30 weeks 2 days. Excuse the mess--I was in the laundry room. This was right before Mom and I left for Lubbock where we shopped, had lunch and got a massage. Such a fun day!

Nursery Update

Need to hang:

* This above his bed

* Curtains

* 3 black floating shelves above the changing table

Still need:

* Pillow for glider, changing table cover, and cushion for toy box (in the orange-ish reddish colored fabric)

Cake Love

I love cake. I've been craving cake for like a month now. I tried making banana cupcakes the other night and they came out looking like bran muffins or chocolate cupcakes. I burned them and they were awful!

Anyway, I'm talking about a different kind of cake. This is the Petunia Pickle Bottom kind and I am in love. Here is my Licorice Pudding Cake diaper bag (thanks, Mom!).

Baby Birds

I think these little birds are so cute! Their Mom built a nest up in the outdoor kitchen.

Nursery Progress

When we moved into our house, we left this room pretty much as is because it was our "future nursery." So, here was the room before:

And here it is as of tonight:

Because He Needs Shoes Like His Daddy

Mini Merrells.

Big Bend

I've been wanting to get this post up for awhile now (oh...since like April...) and finally have some free time. We took the trike on its first run to Big Bend along with 3 other couples. I had never been and it was beautiful (and lots of fun). Here are some pictures from the trip.

Because I'm hardcore (not)

My view for most of the trip :)
