Cute Curious George 2nd Birthday Party
Curious George was Carli’s favorite!! We knew we had to make her 2nd Birthday Theme Curious George. I wasn’t loving the idea of throwing a Yellow/Red/Brown themed birthday party! But I came up with a cute idea to make this a girly and cute Curious George Party! In the original movie, there is a scene where George grabs a bunch of balloons and is flying high over central park. I made this the theme of the party, George, flying away with his bunch of balloons! The cake was a simple Costco cake, ordered from the Bakery, with a clean edge, simple plain white frosting was requested. Then – at home,…
Polka Dot Big Girl Room
Carli was such a trooper while her room became more and more torn apart, as we made it through the home addition construction process! The new construction was being built right off of her room and the sliding door had to be removed and patched up with boards. Her playroom/nursery was always a mess and looked a little scary! Once the addition is was done and we could move into our new bedroom, I was able to redecorate and give Carli a bright and playful big girl room that she deserveCarli was in a bubbly phase where she would say that “Rainbow” was her favorite color! I felt that a…
Muted Rainbow Nursery
This is for sure my favorite room in the whole house. I am on love with how it turned out. I wanted a relaxing and atheistically pleasing room where I could enjoy the view while sit up at night rocking my little baby to sleep. I ordered a sample of these Rainbow Decals from Urban Walls for $5. I tried out a few paint samples, and Cabbage Rose by Sherwin Williams was exactly the mauve pink color I was looking for and matched the decals. I decided I wanted to do one wall with the decals and that I wanted the decals to be on a white wall. I am…
Batch Bake Baby Food
With my first baby, Carli, I fell in love with making babyfood purees. Something is so aesthetically pleasing about getting a perfectly smooth baby food! With the Ninja Baby Bullet its super easy to make small portions of baby food. I used it all the time for whipping up quick banana purees when the baby is just starting to eat solids. I’d use it to mix up baby oatmeal as well. We almost always cook dinner at home and always have a bunch of fresh fruits and veggies. So it was always easy and affordable to feed our babies homemade purees with the Baby Bullet. Once I had my second…
Spring Blooms Maternity Session
This Maternity Session was booked with my good friend, Nicole, who is an amazing photographer and I am always blown away with the outcome of our photo sessions with her. The lighting, the location and the overall look came together perfectly for this meadow-like maternity photo shoot. As usual – I scanned Pinterest for inspiration for my maternity photo session. I came across so many of these airy, dreamlike- almost ethereal maternity photos and I couldn’t get my mind off of them. Nicole delivered these beautiful shots and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Trying to plan for a Maternity Shoot? Find inspiration I always find inspiration from…
Atlantis Bahamas with BABIES
We just got home from our family vacation to the Bahamas! Flying from San Diego, through JFK to Atlantis, with two kids to meet up with family for a week long summer getaway – we had a few hiccups along the way and well… well into the trip too. Overall we are so grateful and went home with nothing but love for the Bahamian culture and a feeling of being stuck in the island vibe that I don’t want to get out of. My husband and I have quite the track record for having something major go wrong during a vacation. As much as I plan and we research, we…
