Baby shower gift from the kids

Baby shower gift. 
The theme is woodland creatures!
Inside the blanket is the baby book, topped with a frog wrapped in paper twine. 
This is what my kids gave their new little cousin!! 
 

Nana's love

Nursery at grandma's house for the new addition to the family! What a gorgeous room for my new nephew.  The love of a grandmother is something I hope every child has the chance to experience.

 

Pinning, pinning and more pinning!!!

Hosting two baby showers for my sister-in-law recently was both rewarding and exhausting! I decided I wanted to do something fun. Where did I find these amazing projects? Where else?!? Pinterest. Anyone else in LOVE with Pinterest?!? Finding new activities for the kids, crafts for me or DIY projects for the house is exhilarating. If you have a particular favorite 'pin' I'd love to hear about it.

Here are the two I chose! A new take on the old diaper cake which turned out even cuter than the photo and super sweet felt owls. The baby's room was done in woodland creatures with owls. These were meant to be used for a mobile but these were used on a wallpaper tree in the baby's room.

Making time....

...for yourself.

Have you ever had a day that is ridiculously overwhelming? Coloring whether with chalk, crayons or markers really makes a difference! Recently I had to take a step back.

I needed to remember what was really important. Deadlines, laundry, yard work, organization, cleaning are not near as important as taking time for yourself. Please leave a comment telling me what you did for yourself this week!!

 

What do you put in your baskets?

Easter Sunday = church, eggs & baskets

What kinds of items do you include in your baskets? Do you have your kids hunt them down? Is there more than one? Do your kids share a basket or get their own?

I'd love to hear about your Easter ritual!

 

 

Disney for breakfast

Fun Mickey treat for breakfast! I recently saw a Star Wars pancake mold as well. I'm going to have to try that out. What kind of pancakes do you make your kids?
