The nursery reveal and a few final bump shots.

Posted in My Home Decor by

Very thrilled to finally share with you all my little boy’s nursery!  I absolutely could not wait to get started on the nursery as soon as we found out we were expecting!! I was so thrilled when we found out we were having a little boy, because it meant I could finally get to work!! My mom found the cutest sign on Pinterest that said “Shh, no wake zone” that truly inspired it all! Caleb and I are very into all things beach and boating so the nautical theme just seemed too perfect for our little man!

I’m so very thankful for my dear friend Kate Blauert over at Kate Blauert Photography for capturing these precious images of Tommy’s nursery and a few last bump shots of me as well.  I was quite pregnant and even in early labor during this time. I wasn’t sure I was quite up to getting my picture taken, but Kate was so sweet and encouraging through the entire shoot and managed to still make me feel pretty.  I’m so thankful I have these last few bump shots to always remember that time as well!

I have so much to update this blog about, but between managing/buying, my husband’s ACL reconstruction surgery, a national pageant and the Christmas madness I’ve been a bit busy.  I’m making lots of plans and looking so forward to getting on a much more regular posting schedule soon! But until then, let me leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from around our house during the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas!  Now, usually my husband calls me his very own Mrs. Claus, but this year I had to keep things low key and surprising enough, I still loved the way everything turned out!

     Since Caleb was a little “under the weather” this Christmas we had to keep it easy with the Christmas tree.   First we settled on a much smaller tree than normal. We still managed to love how it’s tiny glow warmed our living room for the season

     After searching through Home Goods and coming up short on finding the right size runner for my little coffee table, I was quite thrilled with how a little burlap and ribbon created just the what I had in mind.
