This little piggy...

I just had to share my cute find.... Jason and I have been avoiding making spontaneous "oh this is cute!" purchases in order to try and budget our money a little better, but I just couldn't pass this up!


A blue and green argyle piggy bank. So cute!

I also want to say thank you to my friend Lauren- she sent me some burping cloths and bath toys!  It was so sweet!  And I absolutely love this one burping cloth...

Super hero dinosaurs!

Enjoying Spring (break!)

Flipping through the photos of my spring break I had to laugh at how... girly?... I look.

From photos of my (almost) pink daffodils that were sadly found strewn across my lawn...

Apparently whatever child or animal cut down my
daffodils didn't realize how much it would hurt a
pregnant woman.... I cried over these! :P

To photos of Easter egg dyeing...


To the various craft projects I've been doing to keep myself busy (and get things ready for Floodling!)


Finished products:

Artwork for the nursery wall... these need to be framed still!

 Changing pad covers!  One in use and one waiting! 
I plan on making one more but need more fabric.

And for good measure, a photo of Rico eyeing the measuring tape, which was apparently very offensive to him!


I've had a good break so far though now it's time to really start cleaning.  I always plan to get that done on my breaks but I generally put it off as long as I can.  I did vacuum, sweep, dust, wash windows, etc. the other day, but the house itself is a mess (as can be imagined after the above craft projects).

Oh, did I mention that amid all of the above craftiness, this arrived?? Thank you to my Grandma Paulen and Jason's mom!


I'm so excited about our stroller.  I still want the car seat stroller frame (so we can plop the infant car seat on top and go) but this one does accomodate infants too.


So, happy Easter and happy crafting!!

Look what I found!



I definitely don't want the room to be overdone with argyle like this, but overall I really like it!  I was searching "golf nursery" and this was the first thing I came across!  I'm almost tempted to say that is the exact same fabric I'm looking at!

I'm glad to actually see it... I am a very visual person but have a hard time imagining what things would look like in real life. I really think I'm leaning towards this theme, especially because it doesn't have to be "over the top" with golf accessories to get the overall golf idea.  My mom picked up some fat quarters of the argyle print material that I showed in an earlier post.  I'd like to at least do a quilt, maybe a "diaper stacker" (the bag hanging off the changing table... it holds diapers) or changing table pad cover.... then compliment with accessories in greens and blues.  I'm thinking we'll leave the walls the color they are, a kind of dark tan (the same color in the background of my profile pic and all my belly pics)...

What do you think?

And do you think these leaves would go?  I know I posted them before... are they too girly?  I love the idea of a painted mural, but love that this would be much cheaper, and peels right off (for when he's ready to choose his own bedroom theme)!  There are tons of wall stickers like this, so I can keep searching for something else... I kind of thought golf is outdoors so this would kind of tie in.


Just found this.....but it still feels a little girly....
