Tracking baby's growth

This striped 1st birthday party is so adorable! 

See those photos in the back? It's the birthday boy photographed on his monthly "birthday" in a cute onesie indicating how many months old he is! I've seen several friends of mine document their little ones every month for the first year, but I have yet to see this onesie idea and I love it!

Wine crates for storage and shelving

I mentioned in a previous post that I bought some wine crates for only $3-5 each. They were used as part of the decor for my baby shower, but now I'm trying to figure out a way to repurpose them as storage or organization for the office/studio. They're currently stacked and being used as a sort of side table for our printer, but it's probably not safe to leave it like that long-term. One slip of a crate and the whole thing will come tumbling down! 


I did some searching and found some great ideas for shelving and storage. Now I just need to find time to get this done before baby comes!

This one isn't shelving/storage but it's so pretty!!!

sneak peak: my bebe shower!

It's been a whirlwind of a month! From finishing planning my baby shower (yes, I wanted to plan the details myself - I couldn't help it!) to getting the nursery ready, I've barely had time to relax! 


Here's a sneak peek at some photos from my baby shower just a couple of weeks ago. More details to come! 

My dream office desk

We recently remodeled two rooms downstairs, turning one into an office and one into a spare bedroom. I've got a great little corner of the office set up with my desk and some shelving (sorry, no photos yet), but sometimes I can't help but peruse the 'net for my dream office desk and accessories. Here's some of my favorite finds:

Okay, I actually already own the black Ikea frame... I have yet to put it up in the office though because I just can't figure out where to best place it! =P
