newborn gift

Technically, this gift is more for the mom than the baby but still so very sweet.
An original Simple October large zippered pouch (not available in shop.....yet. if you are interested in purchasing one, just send me a message, I'm more than happy to work with you.)
But......I digress.
This adorable zippered pouch is fantastic for short trips when you only want to take a couple diapers and wipes with you but you don't want the entire diaper bag. Everything you need fits nicely into the pouch, then toss it into your purse or carry it by itself.

Or maybe mom needs it for her stuff. Because moms need things too, you know?! It could carry an extra shirt (for when baby spits up right after you arrive at your destination), and is large enough to hold so much more.

I also included a couple matching burp cloths, wipes, and powder. I just couldn't leave the bag empty.

 

Wordless Wednesday / juice box happiness

 

Feeling so blessed to have these two.

(second) home

Yesterday's post was fun. I love a good before and after.
How about you?
So, moving on to our second home.
Law school student means apartment living.
As an adult, this has been my first experience living in an apartment. It hasn't been awful but I will be so happy when we are living in a house with a yard again.
Two boys and only a porch of our own can be difficult at times. Yikes!

Alright, here we go......photo are from moving in, to unpacking, and a few from right before we moved out.

Living room

For some reason this is the last photo I can find of the living room here. It was taken before I painted the walls too. I think I might have misplaced some photos. Oops!  

 

Dining room

 

 

 

Again, these are the only photos I could find after painting the walls and trim. So weird that I can't find other ones. I thought I took more than this. Oh, well!

Boy's room

This is the most before photo I have of their room. I put their room together the fastest so they could have a space that was a little normal/familiar. This move was really hard on them. 

 



 

 

While living here, their room went through several changes due to painting the walls, changing to toddler beds, and then to twin beds.

That's it! I am seriously disappointed in myself for not taking more photos. Hmm....

Our current home photos are coming soon, so be sure to check back here. 





(first) home

We have been feeling slightly under the weather over here. Really feeling more blah than sick, it still stinks though. Since I've just been hanging around the house, I thought I would share some fun photos of our homes. From the first home David and I shared, to now.
Sound like fun?
Great! Grab a cup of coffee and hang out for a bit.
Maybe you will get a good chuckle out of our homes different styles and the changes that have occurred.
I have. *wink

Our first home.......
Photos are from the day we moved in to a couple months before we moved out.

 Nursery

 

 

 

This room went through the most dramatic transformation. One of my amazing brothers covered the wall of mirrors and my mom and one of my sisters did the painting before the boys were born. They were a huge help getting our nursery ready for babies. Thanks guys!

 



 

 

 

 

 

I guess I'll have to make this a three part series.

Next home coming soon!

 

 

 *Fun fact about my blog:

 I already passed the total number of posts from previous years and we are only in October.

Silly, but I'm pretty excited about it. :o)
