Hello again. Maternity leave ends today. I can't believe it's already been three months. My sweet baby is getting so big. He's easygoing like his brother was at this age, and he loves to cuddle like his brother did. He's a happy guy. He laughs all the time--at his mommy and daddy, at his fish mobile, at his grandma's ugly ceiling fan, especially at his brother. He's brought so much joy to our lives. We aren't sleeping much, but he's so worth it. Our little family of four feels complete. 

This is my last post. I've loved having this creative outlet for the last 4-1/2 years, but it feels like it's time to find other ways of channeling that creativity. I wanted to thank all of you who have read my blog--whether you've been following it from the beginning or you've just recently discovered it. Thank you and best wishes!

Simon Elliot was born on November 19th. He weighed 6 pounds and 11 ounces. 18 and 3/4 inches long. I'm smitten. Head over heels. Someday I'll get back to blogging, but for now I'm going to enjoy all the baby snuggles I can.

It's Go Time! We are on our way to the hospital to meet our baby. I'll update later, but posting will be sporadic for a time. 

I love this creative wall covering. It looks awesome with the Caravan furniture. 

I am a terrible baby book keeper and scrapbooker. It's not in my DNA. This project, though, was something that even I found manageable. Little man loves hearing the story of his birth, and this little book will give him the opportunity to read it over and over again. 

In less than a week I get to meet the little munchkin in my belly. It's exciting. In the meantime, I'm trying to soak up time with my husband, my kiddo, and my pillow. Little man seems to think that sleeping in is the biggest waste of time. I'm wondering when he will realize that sleep is anything but boring.

I keep seeing houses everywhere--house beds, house desks, house shelves.

I have a special place in my heart for adoption. I was adopted as an infant, and I think it's a beautiful miracle for families who want children and for children who need homes. I recently discovered AdoptTogether, a non-profit funding platform helping families raise money to pay for what can be substantial adoption costs. In honor of World Adoption Day this weekend, I wanted to share it with you--whether you are interested in adoption or in helping out a family. You can also purchase these cute tees and onesies from Shopify. All profits go to Adopt Together. 

I hope you enjoy this nursery. It's perfectly feminine and yet not too sweet--my favorite kind of girl's room. That wallpaper is fantastatic.
