Simply DIY wall hanging

I can't wait to try to make this for my daughter's nursery which is already decorated with birds and flowers in a modern, whimsical way.  You can get all of the instructions and the template for the bird here. 

Animal themed Nursery

My sister-in-law is pregnant with her second who we've presumed to be a boy. If this is true, she plans on using some safari animal themed baby bedding from her sister-in-law. In order to help make the nursery fun, I am helping her compile creative and cute ideas to build on the theme.



These night light covers are a DIY from Martha Stewart.

Good ole Martha also has a great DIY for making your own animal wall hangings. so cute!

Sesame Street Party

Fun with Elmo and friends!  My friend, Rachel decided to go all out for her daughter Scarlett's 2nd birthday.  She invited EVERYONE she knew and got in major party planning mode.  Since  Scarlett is enamored with Elmo, she thought the natural choice would be a Sesame Street theme.  Check out some of these pictures!

Boy birthday idea #1: Construction Party

A friend of mine recently commissioned me to hunt for great birthday party ideas for her little man who will soon be 2.  In my searching, I came across this super fun party.  Although it may not be ideal for his age, I could not pass up the opportunity to share its cuteness with you all. 

See more from the party by looking at this mom's original post here. 

Announce the gender with a party!

A couple of ideas to steal...guests were asked to dress in pink or blue to indicate their guess...a colored gumball hidden inside the cupcakes denoted the gender (everyone bit into their cupcakes at the same time).


I am always looking for a good excuse to throw a fabulous party, so when I came across this Gender Reveal Party, I fell in love!  With my second child I did something similar, but on a smaller scale, for sure. Click here to see the full post.

Cookies AND cupcakes!?!

How about edible cupcake toppers?  If doing a simple shape such as this star, go ahead and top your cupcakes with decorated sugar cookies. So cute and tasty!

Cute Retro Sign

How cute would this retro-style sign be when hung as decor for the Twinkle Little Star baby shower?  The soon-to-be mommy could then hang it in the baby's nursery.  Awe! (Buy it here on Etsy)
