Bambi?

Okay, so this idea board started out with the intention of being gender neutral, but I’ve got to say, it feels very boy friendly to me. Josh laughed at the Elk themed sheets, but hey, this baby’s got genetic roots in Wyoming. I’m sure he’ll feel right at home (if it’s a he). The idea is to have my dad paint an aspen tree-scape onto the wall where the crib will be, and accent the wall with artwork, etc. I may even be able to talk him into painting some customized raccoons rowing down a river on the bottom of the tree scape. He’s truly talented, but he swears he isn’t. Anyhow, I’m super excited about this room and I’m kind of in love with that mobile.
Forest room
Bumble Bee Print, Map of United States, Elk Sheets (too expensive, but serves as inspiration), Owl Sheets (same goes for this one), Forest Animal Mobile, Owl Humidifier, Owl Pillow, Animal Bins, Bird Curtain Rod Accessory, Bear Print, Raccoon Print, Fox Print

Would this wood monogram not fit in perfectly? I think so. Could be a simple and fun DIY (We would need and ‘E’ by the way)
Stick letters HLH
When I was a kid my favorite book was Where the Wild Things Are, so I’ve got to give this board an honorable mention. However, for me the forest room wins. I also don’t want to scare my kid! Starting a newborn out on monsters may not be my best idea.
where the wild things are
I’ll Eat you up I love you so print,  Let the Wild Rumpus Start Print,  King of all Wild Things Print, Tree Lamp,  Mobile, Light grey crib sheets, Dark grey crib sheets, Monster storage bin, Max plush toy, Cowhide rug

On another note, I feel like I have to puke every time I sneeze. Not the best side effect of pregnancy. Anyone else have that problem? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

10 more days until the gender appt!!

Tuesday Tips

This week’s focus is…         MENU Oh how I love food. After you’ve come up with your theme and your décor, it seems (at least to me) for the menu to come along naturally. I do have a few rules I try stick to. When I throw a party I generally like to have something crunchy you can snack on, something healthy(ish), something you could consider to be what I call “real food” aka something you would eat as part of a main meal, at least 2 drink options, and something deliciously sweet. Although I try to have some of the food options be theme-specific, I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. People might remember if your food was theme specific, but they’re definitely going to remember if your food was delicious. Don’t feel like you can’t make some of your favorite staples for a party! Make food you would like to eat- especially if you’re hosting. You might just have leftovers. If you’re staple food is steak, or something equally expensive or equally larg...

Dust yourself off & try again

Okay, I have persisted and I have a few tips. Fluffier frosting is definitely not the way to go. I used a fluffier frosting and the frosting ended up coming off the cookie with the stamp. This icing seemed to work much better. Secondly, brush cornstarch on top of the icing to limit the stickiness. PaperVine was so right about that! I had a rubber stamp and an acrylic stamp and the rubber stamp worked much better. That’s not to say that acrylic stamps won’t work, but I didn’t have an acrylic block to put the food coloring on. I used the paper towel method I read about somewhere (for the life of me I can’t find it), where you put paper towels into a Tupperware container and soak it with food coloring. You use the paper towels as a sort of ink-pad. Next time I may just shell out the cash for an un-inked foam pad. I’m also interested to see how different types of food coloring works. Some people swear by gel while others swear by airbrush food coloring. Thirdly, make sure you’re hu...

Nerd, Nerd, Nerd, Nerd is the Word

I really want to throw a nerd party! How fun would that be? If my husband was into parties I might would just throw him a nerd party for his birthday. He’s not a Screech type of nerd, but he does like to game and is into computers and gadgets. I’m definitely having trouble coming up with a catchy name for the invitations, but you know I’m ready for the food! I think I would start out with a periodic table cloth on the food table to set the stage. Much like this one from Learning beyond the books. Then I’d definitely bake a nice pi pie like this one from Bot Pie . Then I would pick and choose from some of theses ideas. Love the Jell-O Legos The Joys of Jello did! These cupcake stencils and cakelet pans from Williams Sonoma are so cool too! And who could forget drinks? Harry Potter Butterbeer anyone? As far as décor goes- I think these removable Mario wall stickers would be a nice addition, and these Star Wars (Lego) glow sticks could be fun favors. This is definitel...
