Perfect for My Daughters!!!

I'm not going to lie, life has been so crazy!! But I'm still wanting to make time, for all my girls. I want our older girls, to feel special. And not left out. Because, let's be honest, Sofia needs me 24/7!!!

Today, when Sofia went down for a nap, I wanted to work on a special project. Just for Elena and Ofelia!! It's been a little hit or miss, whether all my girls will nap at the same time. But today, they all did. I swear, I heard angeles singing. :)



I remembered this project. I seen it, a few weeks ago. Before Sofia was born. And I "favorited it." Knowing, that I'd come back to it. Eventually! Today was the day. I've cut out, all the bunting pieces. I've got some sticks. And now, I just need to start tying. :) Hopefully by tomorrow, we'll have 3 buntings. For 3 perfect little girls!!! I can't wait. A

Lamb of God

I recently came across the blog, Dreams into Plans. Jen's blog is just amazing!! She shares such nice things. Things, that make my heart sing. And bring a smile to my lips. Like this printable.



The second I seen this, I knew that I had to print it out!!! Not only is it my style. With all the fun colors. But it speaks to my soul. Makes me think of my religion. And I just knew, we had to add it to our Easter decorations.

I printed this out out last night. And happened to have a pretty, Spring frame. A pink one!! That I put it in. And added this beauty, to our mantel. Go visit Jen. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!!! A

Our Inspiration

I don't think it's a shock, that I like purple, pink, and turquoise. I just adore these colors! In some way, I wanted to incorporate these colors into our daughter's nursery. I found inspiration here. In this fabric. In a more soothing, relaxing, and inviting color palette.



We've decided on lavender walls. White furniture. And Lola tells me, she's picked the perfect fabrics! I'm so excited to see them. :) But the nursery, will be off limits, until late March. Wow! But I trust my dear friend. I know, most of the nursery is going to be handmade. Many of the items going in, are going to be collected, over many different stores. I know, that Lola knows me well. And now, I'm feeling a sense of relief. We're going to be ready for our daughter's arrival! A

Something Fun!!!!

There has been some progress, on our daughter's nursery. :) Mostly being, the colors. We've decided on shades of purple. More lavender actually. I'm pretty excited about this. We also ordered the furniture! Slowly, but surely, we're getting there!



I did find something that I really like. And now, I must go hunt it out! What do you think of this mobile? I just think, it's so fun! We have a little bed. Something that's a mix between a crib and bassinet, that my parents gave us. When Elena was born. It's a piece that comes in handy, when we are spending lots of time outdoors. As we can bring it with us. And I think, this mobile will be perfect! Now I just need to find the person who sells it. :) A

Nursery Ideas....

3 months from today, is my due date! Where has the time gone? I swear, this pregnancy is flying by! And we're not really ready. I've managed to get the girls' baby clothes out. And washed. For the most part. I've made a little list of things, that we're going to need. As our babies, have all been born in different seasons.

Mark and I, did manage to buy the carseat today. We are completely OK with using "hand me downs." Just not with the carseats and cribs. I think those need to be repurchased every time. For safety reasons.

But we're stuck on nursery ideas. Lola and Lorenzo are incredibly generous! They've offered to cover the expense, of our baby girl's nursery. Such amazing Godparents! Lola has helped me in the past. She could have been an amazing interior designer. She is just a natural at it! And she helped design Elena and Ofelia's nurseries. And now, their "big girl rooms!"

Ideas? I'm lost on those. For the nursery. And I need some! Soon! As Lola has a very busy schedule. And I'd like to give her some ideas. Before much more time goes by. I've been staying up late, looking through so many nursery websites. Do you have any ideas? For our baby girl's nursery?



Where not much into "matchy, matchy" things. We like that "collected over time" look much better. Mark and I want something that our daughter can grow with. So not too "babyish." No cartoons. Something simple, girly, and inviting. I'd love to hear your ideas! Please! A

Darling!!

I found a new Etsy Shop, that I'm in Love with!! I should probably stop searching them out. But this time, I was really looking for some art. For our baby girl's nursery. :) Now, I think, I found some presents, for our 3 girls!!

Loxly Hollow has the most amazing pieces!! Perfect for any kids' room. Honestly, I was looking for something special. For our baby girl. And then, I could stop looking. I'm in love!



It all started with this print. Gathering Love. I thought, this would be so pretty in our daughter's nursery!! And the meaning, just tugged at my heart.



Swan Princess would be perfect for Elena! Not only does this print remind me of her. But she just loves princesses!!



A Pink and Aqua Meeting reminds me so much of Ofelia. You always find her, talking to little animals. Just like this!! And bunnies, are her current favorite! :)

Loxly Hollow just knows me. And they have so many cute prints. I found 5 that I want for our Playroom. 5!!! I know. I must control. But these 3, are coming home. I'm thinking, I just found Elena and Ofelia's Valentine's Day present. And at least 1 piece, for our baby girl's nursery. A

Did You Say ABC's?

Recently, I was searching through Project Nursery. For a little inspiration. We're still not planning out our nursery. But I was looking for ways, to update our Play Room. I don't want to do much to it. But add in, a few pieces, that will make it more fun. Something that will catch Elena's eyes. Since she's getting older, I feel like she needs something to challenge her.



I found this picture. I know it's a nursery. But I like these letters. The idea behind it, is so fun! And I want to try something like this. I was actually pretty shocked, when Mark liked it too! Because my fuzzy white rug, just got a weird look! I guess I better get to Hobby Lobby or Michael's. I really want to get started on this project! A

Beautiful

In love! I don't know what it is about this picture. But I'm in love with it! The colors are just perfect. And I've been looking for some inspiration. I'm redecorating my office. This picture is the perfect jumping off point for me. :) A

Time for a Nursery!!

Since we now know, that we're having a girl, it's time to start getting her nursery ready. :) I've had a ton of questions, floating through my brain. I didn't know where to start. But Mark and I had some decisions to make.

Were we going to buy Elena new furniture? Did we need to buy new nursery furniture? What colors would we use? You know, all the regular stuff. That stressed out parents, waiting for their 2nd child.

When we bought Elena's furniture, we knew, we wanted something to last a while. We didn't mind investing in good pieces. And in pieces, that could change and grow with her. Her crib, can change into a toddler bed, then a twin bed. Eventually, a full sized bed. Her changing table, has another piece. That can be made into a large chest. It's a nice set. That one day, she can really grow into. We even bought the desk, for down the road!!

Elena loves her room!! And her furniture. Just after Elena's birthday, we made adjustments to her room. Changed it up a bit. A fresh coat of paint. Made it into a big girl's room. And we don't want to disrupt this. Elena loves her room so much.

That means, Mark and I, are looking for another set of furniture. In the end, we think this makes sense. Each of our girls, will have their own furniture. For their own rooms. It makes a bit more work for us. But in the end, I'm positive, that this is the best possible solution. Now I need some ideas!!



To be honest, I love this crib!! How fun would a round crib be? But, I just don't think, it's right. It won't "grow" with her.



I'm really in love, with this color palette!! The purple, is just a fun color. That bright pink, makes my heart smile. I really like this. :)



We could go with something completely different. Something very different from Elena's room. Yes, Elena has white furniture. But her bedding was bright and fun. We could go with a bit more "babyish" style. Something more traditional of a nursery.



How about dark furniture? I love this!! More of our style. But with pastel baby girl colors. :) Something a little different from the "expected" girl nursery.



This is more of our style. At least for our kids' rooms. I like the simple lines of the furniture. The brightness. The fun colors. I'm almost positive, that this is going to be our inspiration.

Next weekend, we're going shopping for furniture. And hopefully, we'll find some bedding. Although, I like that last picture, it's very similar to Elena's nursery. Pink, green, and white. I'm hoping to find something in peach, green, and white. Or even pink, turquoise, and white. No matter what, we're going to be picking up a rug like this. I've seen a similar white rug at Target. Perfect, for when our daughter starts crawling!! If you have any ideas, please leave us a comment. Or send us an email. A
