Etsy: Seventytwostitches

Cute cute cute!

This crafty gal has some seriously adorable crochet items in her Etsy shop.

She even has some holiday goodies that I'm eyeing as well!

2 in 1 booster seat and backpack

I love multi-functional things! Especially something as useful as this. Ok, so it might not be that useful to me, but could you imagine if you were a family living in the city going from taxi to taxi? You can see more of them at this UK site here!

boosters

I am hoping that I can get Naomi in a booster seat before baby #3 comes in January! She is a petite little thing, so I am hoping that she starts packing on the pounds in the next 6 months! Any advice on boosters? The full seat or the seat with just the bottom? Differences? I am really liking these Clek seats.

Road Trippin' it?

I like this car organizer for the little ones.

MamaRoo

Mamas out there, thoughts on the MamaRoo?

We sure could use this in our house!

Makes me want some yummy tacos!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Here is a little party thrown by the talented Ashly to get you in the mood!

My little G needs this pillow, not to mention everything else on this site

I love pillows

And these are calling out to me for my babes' room.

I've been busy!

My daughter just turned 4 and wanted a Cinderella party. I really just wanted the party to resemble Cinderella instead of going out and buying all the Cinderella garb. Naomi loved it, which is really what matters anyways, right?! It was fun making princess hats and wands with ribbons and pom poms. The girls seemed to really be proud of their creations!

Birthday Bash

My little Grant the Man turned 2 on April Fools Day.

Today we BBQ-ed to celebrate.

Kind of a last minute throw-together circus party.

It was windy and pretty cold, but fun.

I'm tired.

I love my not-so-little boy.

Who knew bugs could be so cool?

Beckett told his mom that he wanted a bug birthday party. To say that she delivered would be a complete understatement. Leave it to Natalie to make a bug party something that I would want for my next 28th birthday party! It was one of the funnest kids birthday parties I've ever been to. Not only did I feel like I was an entomologist right in the middle of the wild rain forest discovering new insect species, but we actually got to be an audience to Steve the Nature Guy. Steve brought some actual wild life...like bugs, lizards, snakes, etc. for our viewing pleasure. The kids were even allowed to hold and touch some of them! It was so so fun.

Yes, those are actual tree stumps she got off craigslist

Party Favors:

A jar of lady bugs and directions on how to release them into your garden!

Skip Hop

It is no secret that I love color, but sometimes it's hard to find colorful and fun things for the kids that are also visually appealing to myself as well. Skip hop does just that. They know how to make practicality and cuteness coincide. And for that, I thank them.

I can't tell you how much I LOVE this no slide mat/plate. Grant needs this asap!

persimmon and pink

Persimmon and Pink, oh I how love thee.

One thing I think all homes need are personal touches that mean something. It's easy to pack your house full of beautiful things, because let's be honest, there are a lot of beautiful things out there. The hard part is making it homey and personal, but keep the style factor in tact. I struggle with home decor when it comes down to it, but I am a big believer in being uplifted by your surroundings. Do they get more uplifting than these?

They have so many options and I want them all!
