Modern Western Theme Nursery

admin — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 21:04:51 +0000

I’m not sure why this nursery took so long to come together. You would think being quarantined and jobless I would have nothing but time, but having a vision and only being able to purchase/ order online was a little more challenging than I had expected. Plus, this room acts as our guest room as well as the home to our Peloton (small quarters here in LA) so there were a lot of things to consider. My husband and I butt heads on a lot of the details of this room but at least we both agreed on the theme. We wanted to go with a subtle western theme with mixed woods and pops of greenery. I didn’t want a theme too loud and offensive to any guest that may be staying in there and felt like we achieved the look we were going for. The photos above his crib was the first purchase and it took a while to find the right look (Thank goodness for Etsy!) We sent the print offs to Framebridge who matted and framed them for us and shipped back ready to hang. We started building around these colors and it all slowly came together! […]

Motherhood: What Being A Mother Is All About

admin — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 02:14:45 +0000

What is motherhood? I came across a quote I really enjoyed. That “being a mother is not about what you gave up to have a child, but what you gained from having one“. It’s crazy how having a baby will flip your world upside down yet in an instant that baby will too become your entire world in the best way possible. My husband and I used to be quite the wannabe “foodies”. We would try new restaurants each weekend and indulge in all the chef’s specials and delicious wine list. Today, in this day in age, it’s the last thing I want to do. After a long work week consisting of us coming home in the evening while frantically cooking/ eating dinner as a family with very little play time left over, the weekend is what we look forward to the most. All I want is to do is find fun activities and things to do to make my baby girl happy! But of course a date night, with good food once every few months is necessary for our sanity. Like I said, being home with baby A brings me all the joy in the world. When we moved in to our new home, I wanted to make […]

Transition Baby To Nursery: Part II

admin — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 12:00:55 +0000

Transitioning baby to nursery Part II … Did you guys read my previous post on transitioning baby to nursery?! I wanted to share another piece to our personal success of moving her in to her big girl room now that she is 8 months old and moving more than ever. Adaline since birth was ready to rock and roll. She’s all over the place in the crib, rolling around and making moves. The problem was, she kept hitting her lil’ noggin or would get one of those chunky thighs stuck in between the bars. This would keep me up all night and of course would create a very cranky baby the next day with insufficient sleep. I did some extensive research on alternatives to crib bumpers as I have read some unfortunate stories and risks which lead me to discover Go Mama Go. They had such amazing reviews on their vertical crib liners and of course decided to try it out! Obsessed. I kid you not, this child rolls all around the crib and now that she is sitting up will just flat out fall in to the bars. These vertical pads have been so convenient and have prevented many tears from […]

5 Months of Life UPDATE

admin — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 11:00:54 +0000

Like most moms, I of course committed to taking monthly photos of my baby girl for a number of reasons. (A) I love taking photos of her. I’m surprised my phone hasn’t exploded from baby photo overload. (B) I love celebrating her little milestones and watching her grow. Each month, I look back and think of everything she has achieved, learned and accomplished. This month … her two front teeth! And (C) something most moms probably won’t outwardly admit … it’s another month that both mommy and baby have survived … I need documentation! Seriously though, it’s tough stuff being a mom and I’m sure it’s even more difficult being a baby! I have a whole new appreciation for all mom’s and I completely get why making mom friends is so important. You have to, NEED to talk about babies and share and take in any tips and suggestions another mom may have. You never know what will help and impact baby. Now that baby girl is 5 months old, I have started to seriously re-evaluate her surroundings and our living set up. She isn’t crawling yet but since I’m back to work, time is limited and I wanted to prep for her soon […]
