baby bedding choices

so, i know its not the most popular choice, but we want to be surprised with the gender of our 2nd baby. we were surprised with our first, so, hey, why not keep the trend going!

i’ve decided on black and white for the nursery… and if its a girl… a light blush pink accent… a boy… red!

now, finding black bedding is QUITE the challenge… good thing I’m on complete bedrest until delivery {due august 1st} and have plenty of time to scour every internet source!! 🙂

my favorite by far, so far is the ADORABLE handmade, custom made, Amanda set by Maddie Boo.

custom made by maddie boo . stunning!

it is perfect. i LOVE the large stripe bed skirt!! the bumper is … ahh! i adore it!

still on the hunt for something maybe a little less pricey… but, custom made, you can’t beat that! have you found any black and white baby bedding that i just have to know about?

more fun covers!

i’m so excited! we are adding some super cute spring/summer covers to our collection!

Here’s a sneak peak of a few! check our Etsy shop often for the new listings!

whats in a pen

i’ve had a lot of customers ask what pen is ideal for their baby book… i did some research and tried out some options and found one i love! its the WRITER from the ZIG memory books pens collection. it is double-tipped {0.5mm & 1.2mm} and writes super smooth and crisp. its acid free, archival, water & fade proof, and much more! you won’t be dissapointed!

&&&& we are excited to be able to offer them to our customers through our etsy shop as a supply for your book! get one in pure black or chocolate brown!

the purpose of a baby book

they are only little once. soon, you’ll miss those handprints on the wall and messes on the floor :: a wise older woman recently told me. its so easy to get overwhlemed with the daily responsiblities of life that we forget to savor the moments of our kids littleness. time flies. freakishly fast. and it seems to be accelerating with every passing year. the temptation of motherhood is to “survive” … just SURVIVE. but really? is that a noble goal for the grand task of mothering. seems to be the natural way of thinking, but so not worth it in the long run. make it your goal today to THRIVE. to survive, yes! but to joyfully do so. all this to say… i hope our baby book has helped you stop. remember. and treasure all of the little moments in your life that you’d easily forget, but never want to. enjoy life!
