A child’s room is not complete without finding the perfect art to put on their walls. Combining bright colorful prints with inspiring sayings can be exactly what you are looking for! Look at these precious prints I found on Etsy. Both of these artist feature a wide variety to choose from and in fact I would suggest a combination of more then one to complete an adorable look. Besides, choosing just one would be really hard to do!

Baby Shower | Tea & Tupperware

This past weekend, I was shocked and surprised to the point of copious tears by my closest girlfriends. They threw me a stunningly beautiful shabby-chic tea as a sprinkle for my 3rd baby due in a few weeks. Believe me when I tell you that I did not expect any sort of celebration at all except for maybe a few flowers once we brought the baby home. I felt truly blessed.

But here’s the kicker, and why I wanted to share here on the blog. My friends didn’t buy gifts for the baby. (I’m having my 3rd boy and truly need nothing.) They didn’t buy pampering gifts of nighties and lotions and massages for me either. (With 3 boys, I’d likely be hard pressed to squeeze in pampering right away anyway.) What they DID bring was the best gift of all; Homecooked Meals.

My friends know me well. I despise cooking. I’d eat cereal every night for dinner if I didn’t have small mouths to feed. So, my friends brought me my favorite foods, in Tupperware and casserole dishes, with instructions and little treats for dessert, and snack paks for the kiddos. These treasures will keep me sane in the days we first get home with our new bundle. I thought it was the best idea ever. An afternoon of tea sandwiches and a trunkful of Tupperware to take home. What 2nd or 3rd… or 8th time mama wouldn’t love that!?

Is it a Royal Surprise?

Despite rumors, Kate Middleton has officially denied knowing the sex of her baby with Prince William. The Duchess of Cambridge, speaking at a St. Patrick’s Day ceremony, told onlookers that the couple doesn’t know what they are having and are hoping for different things. “I’d like to have a boy and William would like a girl” she told one person.

I’m here to reassure you, despite the snow squalls that have recently hit various sections of the country- that SPRING is just around the corner. And with spring comes thoughts of renewal and symbols (such as bunnies, baskets and eggs) representing renewal are everywhere this time of year. But when it comes to babies, these same symbols are ever-present. We don’t have to wait for spring to use bunnies, nests and eggs when decorating the baby’s nursery. These sweet little representations of new life are easily found and a perennial favorite among parents and designers alike. So hang in there through winter’s last hurrah and enjoy these sweet “spring like” nursery items in the meanwhile.
