My Babies

My Babies.. trying to remember what it was like when they were first born is hard sometimes. 

Time flies by... and things get forgotten. 

Hopefully these pictures will help me to remember to enjoy every minute I have with them.

Of course it's Jungle themed!

Mission Nursery

Mission: Find art for the Nursery

Theme: Jungle

This mission proved to be quite difficult.  I needed something that went with my jungle theme, but was inexpensive.  I thought my mission would be a fail until... I found these little gems...  pre-painted, wood cut-out's of jungle animals!!  How perfect are they?!

I bought some cheap white frames (took out the glass) and found some paper that matched the room for the background.  Glued the animals onto the background paper and my project was completed.

Quick, easy, inexpensive, jungle themed...

Mission Accomplished.

Babies & Diaper Cakes

I'm 26 years old, and a mother of 1, well I guess 2 technically.  Although the second won't be seeing us for a few more months.  I'm at that phase of life where babies are everywhere!  My friends are having babies, I'm having babies, I'm noticing everyone else around me has babies.  It's a great phase of life to be in and being able to witness all this new life starting is amazing!

A few months ago I had to decorate a shower for a friend and her little boy.  I tried desperately to come up with a theme, I originally had thought Noah's Ark, but that just wasn't working out.  In trying to find ideas online I came across diaper cakes.  (For those that don't know, they are diapers wound tightly to look like a cake.)  The one that stood out the most was the jungle cakes.  My theme was decided:

I wish I had taken more pictures of the shower, but alas I did not have time.  You can just trust me that the jungle theme decor was beautiful and everything turned out cute.  I can show you this diaper cake that I was so proud of though:

After the shower was over I gave it to the new mommy.  It was a great way to incoporate my gift into the decor.
