DIY Birth Stats Signs

A couple years ago, my friend Ashley was the first of my close friends to have a baby. I was SO excited for her! Once the baby was born, I wanted to give Ashley something personal, but I wasn't quite sure what. I was already stalking her Pinterest feed (way back before Pinterest came up with the Smart Feed that no longer shows what your friends are pinning in your own feed) of adorable things she wanted for her baby, and I saw a sweet little newborn birth stats sign. I decided to try making her something similar.

When she had baby number two, I made her one for him also. (And honestly, I meant to share this tutorial back then, but no biggie, because now I can show you the one I made for my baby too!) Birth stats signs are super easy to make using PicMonkey, and I'm going to show you how!

Hot Air Balloon Nursery

Alright, alright, I know I've been slacking! Cade is almost four months old (Ahhhh! Where has the time gone?!), and I haven't shown you his nursery yet! It was mostly finished before he was born, other than hanging curtains and a couple of finishing touches, but I've been a busy momma and haven't had the time to take photos. Well, I go back to work next week (noooooo!), so I figured I better take photos now before I really don't have time!

Eleven Affordable Grey Cribs

I'm so close to showing you Cade's nursery!!! It was mostly finished before he was born, but there were a few things that needed finishing up! For now, I thought I would share nursery furniture to drool over! I wasn't loving any of the too traditional wood looks but didn't really want white. Of course that limited our choices quite a bit. I love grey and felt it was perfect for a little boy's room, yet also versatile enough to be used for a girl's room later on if necessary. We were also hoping not to spend a fortune on nursery furniture, so we looked for some budget friendly options. The cribs shown here are all less than $600, with the one we ended up purchasing only being $300!

How to save money on curtain panels

Curtains are one of those things that can really help complete a room and tie everything together, yet they are always last on my shopping list because they are so darn expensive! Especially when you are purchasing them purely for decor and not for function. Do I really need all that fabric when I'm never planning on actually closing the curtains?? Well, when I was working on Cade's nursery, I came up with a solution!
