etsy baby love

I've been checking etsy and pinterest for cute baby/kid stuff both for things to buy and for inspiration on stuff to make. I originally super loved the timi and leslie diaper bag I posted about earlier, but I just found an etsy bag that I LOVE way more.

Check out all these awesome baby/kid items!!

Love this toddler bedding for Eden. We plan to move her to a toddler bed around 18 months to free up her crib for baby 2. It's gender neutral since they'll be sharing a room but is cute too if I had some colorful pillows or sheets on the bed.

This is from the same etsy shop as the above bedding, but it's a bit more girly with the print. I really love red for a girl. And it would go great in the room if this new one is a boy. The plus is that it's organic bedding!

LOVE this mobile!! It couldn't be more perfect for our rainy state of Washington, but the colorful raindrops are much brighter than our grey days here. I'm totally going to make this.

Love the little cloud pillow on the wall. From the same etsy shop as the bedding...and it totally goes with the baby mobile.

Here's the diaper bag I plan to get. I'm smitten. It's waterproof and has 8 pockets inside for organization. It's about the same size as the timi & leslie one, but I actually like it better. Oh, and did I mention it's half the price? Awesome!

I wanted to do this in Eden's room before she was born but ran out of time and wall space...I still love this idea though. Various fabris in embroidery rings of various of various sizes. Too cute! I'm totally doing this in the kids' room (assuming we have a bigger place where they can share a room).

Last but not least...I'm completely in love with this nursery! It's gender neutral but SO cute. I like the neutral grey walls with the pops of color. Absolutely adorable. Not sure if I'll go with this exact color scheme for our kiddos, but I may do something similar (neutral walls and pops of color).

Are you seeing the grey theme? Haha. I might have a slight obsession with grey!

iphone cases

Ahhh. In love with a bunch of iPhone cases from society6!

Here are some of my faves...

It's a little bright for my taste, but I still think it's really cute.

Very in-line with my current mustard and zig zag obsession.

Spoonflower

Uhh...

How come nobody ever told me about Spoonflower before???

Design and print your own custom fabric? Yes please!!

It's a bit pricey, and I'd have to use it sparingly, but it would be SO fun for a couple special projects!

It's been a while!

Hi all! Sorry, it's been quite some time since I last posted. We've had a lot going on...some family issues, and some personal changes.

BUT.

I'm excited to announce that baby #2 is on the way!

Yes, you read that right. Yes, my daughter is only 10 months old and will only be 16 months when the new babe is born (assuming this baby comes on time and not early again like her). Yes, I realize that's kind of nuts. No, it wasn't exactly 'planned' per se, but we are totally thrilled and excited. We will just have a chaotic household for a bit :)

That's where I've been. Busy being a mom to a mobile almost-toddler. And busy puking and being tired and making another baby. Haha. SO much fun. But really, it's all worth it. It's so much easier to look at my little girl and see what all comes from the unpleasantries of pregnancy. The not-so-awesome symptoms are tons easier to deal with.

SO...question for the mamas out there. Any suggestions for a large diaper bag that will fit enough outfits/food/diapers for two little ones? My current Petunia Pickle Bottom is great but won't cut it for two sets of everything.

I'm loving this Timi & Leslie bag right now:


I know without a doubt that it's big enough...but is it worth the price?? That's the big question.

And sadly, because we are still in our itty 2 bedroom apartment, I won't have another nursery to decorate (or a 2-child room to redecorate). Eden's current nursery is only 7 feet by 9 feet. All I can fit is the dresser, her crib, a hamper, and a couple baskets for blankets, towels, and burp cloths. So baby #2 will be in a pack n play in our bedroom unless there's such a thing as stackable cribs (haha!). But I'll probably still fantasize about what I'd do with another baby room and post about it after we find out the gender in just 8 weeks.

Due date is set for August 22nd (again, if this one doesn't also decide to come a month early). I'll try to get another post up here pretty soon!
