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.

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)

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.

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!!

Dog Days of Summer

Well, my acrylic stamps didn't happen to work out on the cookies, but I found a purpose for them. I was practicing dipping Oreos in white chocolate when I got the bright idea to stamp them. I tried a few different methods, but my husband had the winning idea. Take a look. My methods- leaving the stamps in the white chocolate while it dried, using a greased stamp (gross, don’t do it), and using a stamp on nearly hardened white chocolate The winning method (eh hem- Josh’s method), putting the stamp in the white chocolate then freezing the cookie That man is a genius! I think they turned out super cute. I can’t wait to use this for a party. I’m kind of a sucker for my dogs so I was actually thinking about hosting a dog’s day out. If not, then I’ll probably keep this in my back pocket for Optimus’ birthday. Like I said- I’m a sucker for my dogs.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

First of all….Can you name the seven dwarfs? Just try it. Kills me every time.Okay moving on. Of course today’s party I’m working on a Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs themed party. I think I would start by setting up a little “forest” for the kids to walk through on the way in- complete with either stuffed or cardboard cut-out animal bunnies, chipmunks and deer. Little birds (most likely paper) would be hanging from the door frame. I’d be going for this kind of feeling (but with the princess not so sad let’s hope!) I would love to have a dress up station with a nod to “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”. Maybe something like this but more down to earth like this . Of course there would need to be apples galore. Candied apples? Carmel apples with a carmel apple decorating station? Rice crispy treat apples ? Donut hole mini apples ? Oh the options. (I also looove the Snow White cut-out in the mirror- adorable). Some sort of poison potion (with dry ice) would be super cute too. Maybe...

The Daniel Fast

When Josh and I moved back to Bellevue this summer we joined a new church, Zeal, which we really love. We've felt more challenged there to really engage, and twice a year the church as a whole focuses on 21 Days of Prayer. In January we fast during the 21 days, andre encouraged to give up something we feel hinders our focus (Instagram, sweets, etc.) We chose to do the Daniel Fast. The Daniel Fast is based on the following verses... “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink." Daniel 1:12   In those days, I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks" Daniel 10: 2-3 So basically, we've been eating a vegan, gluten-free, no sugar or sweetener-added foods for the past 11 days. We don't have fried foods either as they're 'rich', but we do have whole grains. We drink 100% juice and wat...
