Stunningly beautiful.... letting this fall on me this morning while I'm alone...

words to shoot by : out

I've been absent for a while but I'm so happy to begin again this week! I look forward to the upcoming photos!

 

Thank you, once again, to Steph Parke for her organizing this great collaboration, Words to Shoot By. Come visit us there!

thank you notes

Because our little girl is due soon and we recently had her baby shower (2) I decided in order to get "thank you" notes out in a timely manner I should order online. I was very pleased with what I was able to customize from mpix.com. I used two of her ultrasounds pictures and I am tickled every time I look at them. They are in card form and I was able to customize every side. I would absolutely use their services again!

For I am about to do something new, 

See I have already begun.

 

little nursery details

I've been collecting these Flavia Weedn books for a long time for a daughter of mine. The illustrations in each book are like no other. So beautiful. 

I have a thing for rompers. I have a thing for baby overalls. I have a thing for ruffled romper overalls! Had to purchase this as soon as I saw it from Old Navy. I can't wait to see her chubby little legs in it! 

Her Aunt Jenifer got her this beautiful embroidered tulle dress from the Gap.

Couldn't pass up this sweet little 12month flowered top by Little Me. And I love these sweet hairbows I purchased through an etsy shop. 

My favorite card I received at the baby shower. YAY for pregnant bellies! 

I just love this little board book so much. One of the first ones I bought for her. It's precious.

This was the first book I ever read to her. (in the womb)

A soft and sweet gift. 

Some of my favorite books I've held onto for my children. The Giving Tree will always be my favorite children's book. My oldest nephew memorized it from a very early age. I hope I'll read this to her so much that one day she'll recite it to me in her own sweetest voice. 

I hold onto little things. My niece, Emma (7) was with me at my baby shower. This is her baby word scramble card I kept. I love her. 

A few sweet lovies in her collection. I love the idea of her carrying these around with her!

These are too cute! I saved a few dollars and purchased quite a few from TJMaxx. 

I love the word BERSERK! 

Little Golden Books passed down from family. 

We've invested in a lot of Thirty-One bags to use as her storage. Love these patterns for a little girl.

bunnies for babies! YES! (Gap)

 

There are so many more things in her room that I love to sit and look at and day dream over. There's just something that gives me the greatest joy to even photograph them. Lately my favorite thing to do is sit in her room playing with her things until she comes and can enjoy them all. Soon!

 

 

late night pregnancy snack

Lately many of my nights include this. Mini (va)nilla wafers and a big glass of ice water in bed. 

 

our beautiful baby shower (instagram)

And because I'm completley obsessed with Instagram

I captured all the details of the shower on my iphone. (instagram username: magnoliaqueen)
