So I would never really consider myself a "spiritual person." Sure I have my own religious beliefs, but I am also one to not talk religion. I can probably say that I somewhat believed in "signs" from up above, but never actually had one appear right in front of my face, until now.

My husband and I always say that my sister Susie is our daughter's guardian angel. At times my daughter reminds me of my sister with her blue eyes and auburn hair. I know if my sister was here on earth she would be the best damn Aunt there was. So thankfully, my daughter will always have Susie for her guardian angel, still the best damn angel there is.

So here is my story...

Nursery Wall Art

Since we are not finding out the sex of the baby we decided it was best to go with something gender neutral for the nursery. Most of you know I love pandas! This was the perfect opportunity to incorporate pandas into the mix. I did not want to go black and white theme and base it just on the pandas, so I thought why not make it jungle themed/ABC themed. That way I am not limited to just buying panda items. My goal is to keep the nursery colors fairly light and pastel-like. That is just always how I envisioned our child's nursery to be.

I thought it would be cute to add giraffe's into the jungle gender neutral nursery. I am so excited to share with you today my creation!

We got my husband's adorable wooden cradle from when he was a baby. I love it! Its so old fashioned and different from today's style.

Since its old and custom made its a little difficult to find sheets for it. So it just made sense for me to make my own.

So its official, we are going to be parents!!!

We are due October 17th, 2015!

easter2We made the announcement on Easter weekend to all our family and close friends. Everyone was really excited for us. It was super hard to keep it a secret until 12 weeks but we did it! We told a few of our close friends very early on and we told our parents after our 8 week appointment.

Give someone the gift of recipes:

I cook alot, people are always asking me can I have that recipe? As I cannot claim the ownership for a majority of my recipes (thank you pinterest) I thought it would be nice to share a few simple yet delicious recipes as a gift. It was super easy, I just printed the recipes, laminated them, then purchase a few small kitchen utensils and attached them to the recipe cards.  I chose to laminate them because after all they are in the kitchen and things can get a little messy when cooking.

Christmas Napkin Rings

We had a large crowd of family and friends visit us for Christmas this year. I spent alot of time pre-planning the foods we were going to have and less time on holiday projects this year. This was a fun and inexpensive project AND best of all these can be reused for years to come!
