A few weekends ago J and I transformed Ben’s nursery into a big boy room, complete with the transformation of his crib to a toddler bed. The print is from ETSY, fire hydrant was a garage sale find, and the blue rattle was J’s when he was a baby. These prints are from ETSY as well and the frames were .25 cents each from a garage sale which I spray painted them in a high gloss blue. Can you tell I’m into Owls lately? So excited for his new room that he couldn’t even take the time to wipe his lunch of his face.

Owl See You Soon Baby {An Owl Themed Baby Shower}
Yesterday I hosted an adorable owl themed baby shower for my friend Mrs. Bojangles and her sweet hubby. When I first started planning the shower I knew I didn’t want to do a traditional blue, balloon and bears shower since that’s not my kinda thing or hers. So I let this little guy be my inspiration and went from there. They couple chose not to share the name until after he was born which fit into the themed perfectly. Lot’s of delicious food including 2 different kinds of chili and a toppings bar. All the guests enjoyed a competitive game of match the celebrity baby to their parents. Any guesses as to…

Thursday Thoughts

I will warn you that they are super addictive so get them out of your house as soon as possible. I’m addicted to HyVee’s Santa Fe mix. Which is why I don’t buy it that often. I saw this on another blog and it reminded me of my meat-free friends. For some reason, this is how I felt when I finished A Million Little Pieces and I read it at…

Yo Gaba Gaba Live
When I heard Yo Gaba Gaba Live was coming to St. Louis I knew we had to get tickets since Ben is obsessed with the show. More than obsessed actually. We fit as many things we could into our day in St. Louis including our trip to the City Museum. After the museum we headed over to the arena for the show and despite playing his little heart out earlier, Ben was ready to see his favorite characters. His face was like this the whole time and his eyes were glued to the stage. The adult’s favorite part was definitely Biz Markie. Fun Fact: Did you know DJ Lance is originally from…
