DIY Book Storage Crate

 DIY Book Crate- Use a wooden crate to store kids books!

I can't believe Cade is already three months old and I still haven't shared his nursery! Ahhh! Where has the time gone?! I forgive myself, because I've been enjoying every little second with my little man. A lot of things have gotten brushed aside for a bit, and I've really surprised myself by being okay with that! It's funny how things change :)

Well, I finally got around to taking some pictures of the nursery, so I have a few projects to show you before I post the nursery reveal! Today, I'm sharing this cute little wooden crate I painted to store his books!

So remember wayyyy back at the beginning of last year when I told you we were building a laundry room? And then... we never finished it! Well, it's finally almost done! WOOHOO!

Industrial Faux Aged Metal Box- Monthly DIY Challenge

How to get a faux aged metal look with metallic craft paint #monthlydiychallenge

Happy February! It's time for the best part of the month! February's Monthly DIY Challenge is metallic paint. I gotta tell ya, I had a lot of trouble coming up with an idea for this one at first. But then we finally started working on our laundry/pantry project again (phew!), and it reminded me of my love for that old industrial look, and I was suddenly re-inspired! I decided to make a faux aged metal wooden storage box that will probably end up sitting on one of the pantry shelves. I love it so much, I may make one for recipes too!

DIY Valentine's Day Yarn Trees

Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that I would love to decorate for, but I just don't have many decor items accumulated for it yet! I have a few little cute signs, but not much else. I love all of the sweet decorations I see everywhere and would love to start being able to decorate every year. I decided to make some Valentine's Day crafts to help add some festiveness to our home. With a newborn, I needed something quick and easy to make. So I made these cute little yarn trees that could easily be interchangeable for any holiday!

Breastfeeding Must Haves

*This post may contain affiliate links. See my full disclosure policy.

I can't even pretend to be a breastfeeding expert. I truly thought my background in postpartum nursing would provide me with all the knowledge I needed for breastfeeding. It certainly did make it much easier in the beginning, but I still had a lot to learn!!! Breastfeeding is truly tougher than it looks, and I give major props to all the breastfeeding mommas out there! Today I'm telling you about thirteen helpful breastfeeding products. Some come from my postpartum nurse knowledge, some from recommendations I received from friends, and some from research I did to solve problems I was having. I hope something here might help you out! Good luck on your journey to nourish your baby!
