Red, White, and Blue...

I saw this on Pinterest this morning...

and it's so perfect for a backyard fourth.. 

I'm definitely making this.. 

via The Crafty Crow...

via Chica and Jo...

Maybe add a layer of greek yogurt...

or two.. 

just for color! 

Nursery Decor...

So the first time around.. 

when we were doing our nursery... 

we were filling it will just the necessities.. 

and not too much fun decor.. 

it was stressful enough to just figure out 

what this new baby would need.. 

but now 

we are on to baby two.. 

another boy, 

so we have all the essentials and more.. 

this time I am getting into some decor.. 

I'm so excited.. 

we (I) decided on a beachy theme..

for their shared room..  

Of course I went right to Etsy.. 

and discovered The Shabby Chic Cottage.. 

I ordered beadboard stars

and the ever magical starfish wands.. 

I love the stuff.. 

and she even let me custom order the beadboard stars

for a beachy color vibe... 

I put corks into the vase instead of sand.. 

for now.. 

two little boys.. 

well, you know.. 

Can't wait to get the rest of the stuff together... 

and share the details.. 

Some Glam Glitter..

I saw this glitter on 

Oh Happy Day!

and I'm in love. 

My Holidays are in dire need 

of edible star glitter..
