John's been on a roll lately with all these diy's and crafting. Last week he helped me with invitations and this week he finally got around to some wood work. One of his long time buddies at work is also expecting a baby boy in Feb and has asked some of their co-workers to bring in some letters to contribute to the nursery....
John finally got started on the banner I wanted him to do. We all know that when it comes to writing or wannabe calligraphy, I am at level 0. Haha! I wasn't sure what quote I wanted so I had him choose between several and he chose this. This quote was part of our pregnancy announcement, so I guess it worked out! He...
Happy fall!! Its officially the autumn season! & Oh my goodness! Are we really at the end of our second trimester? I still wake up some days feeling like its all a dream, until Baby H kicks my ribs to remind me that it is certainly real. We have decided to keep his name private (at-least from the social media world) until his...

DIY: Our 'Passport to Parenthood' baby shower invitations!
Thursday, September 24, 2015
Our baby shower invitations have been sent out!! We did both e-vite and actual physical hard copies for relatives back home. I started drafting the insert of the card a month ago and finished it about a week ago. I was almost going to buy a digital copy for $15, but I thought I'd try and see what I can do with photoshop...
I've sorta been cooped up in the house the for a couple days because I haven't been in the mood to go out, and when John gets home during the week he just wants to stay home and relax. So when he got off work on Sunday, we headed out to get some fresh air! We had no where specific in mind, just...
Baby Size: Butternut Squash (according to the Ovia app!)Current Cravings: APPLE JACKS!! Weirdly enough, I finished a brand new box of cereal within 4 days, and that NEVER happens in this household! Ive also finished a gallon of milk in 6 days... and for anyone that knows me well, Im not a big milk drinker!! This little one has definitely got me craving things I...
So I took the plunge and bought a Sony Alpha! I have been back and forth and contemplating for months whether or not I want to go ahead and purchase my own. I decided not to get it, until this good deal came along! I was scrolling through OfferUp, as I do at least once a week, and the a6000 popped up for...
Happy happy birthday to this stud muffin!!! I'm not gonna type up anything mushy gushy because you and the entire world already know how much I love and adore you! Sad that we didn't get to spend today together, but I am glad you got to come home, even if its late! I didn't have anything big planned for you this year, but...
I haven't been able to blog lately! There has been so many things that require my attention and by the end of the day I am just too pooped to even open up my laptop! This week I have been busy planning the baby shower. We're hosting it since my family isnt here to help; however, I have my two girlfriends who are...
Ah!! The crib and mattress is here!!! It was delivered yesterday! My parents we're kind enough to order and have it delivered to us! Swear they're gonna end up getting majority of things off our registry!! I was so excited when I heard the doorbell and two big boxes was waiting at the door! Of course I had to wait for my strong...
This diy was a quick and easy one, at least my part was. John had to make the stamps using potatoes!! When I first saw the diy stamped swaddle blanket tutorials, a lot of them used potatoes as stamps! What a clever idea! I was originally going to use craft foam! Ive been following some shops that sells stamped swaddles but they were...
I've taken a little break from doing any baby diy. Last time I sewed was on Wednesday because I spent most of Thursday cleaning and catching up on editing so that I can send off the galleries Ive been working on, and organizing baby H's closet! John also came back Friday at 4am! I was so excited I only got about 4.5 hours...
I am the luckiest mommy-to-be to have a photographer husband to take all my maternity and pregnancy related pictures (or any pictures in general! Ha!). Everything I want documented during this pregnancy has definitely been documented (both video and photos)!! I love beach maternity sessions, but since the sun doesn't set in the east, we opted to do a sunrise session instead and...
Hopefully, that also means farewell 90 degree weather!! Ugh! I can almost smell the crisp autumn air! Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons! One of them being John's birthday! :) It just makes me so happy! Are we really in the 'ber' months already? My goodness! I feel like every year just goes by quicker and quicker. I'm excited in a...
