Baby Girl Nursery Reveal

April 20, 2015

Tissue Garland: c/o Love Garlands

I have finally finished the nursery! Most everything you see in the room is H’s old nursery decor and furniture, I just added a few feminine touches. I picked up this rug from TJ Maxx for $15! I was pretty happy about that. I purchased her a new bumper and crib sheet to add a little pink in the room from Bye Bye Baby. The Tissue Garland above her bed is by Love Garlands! Isn’t it so cute? I wanted something light and girly above her crib and this was the perfect decor to complete her nursery!

Yes, one of the handles is broken thanks to a very clumsy and determined toddler. It is on my list of things to fix this week.

I’ve still got a picture of H in the frame until we have SR’s newborn photos done after she is born. I will trade them out after that. 🙂 I picked up this little table at TJ Maxx and painted it with homemade chalk paint that Ryan and I mixed up real quick. It turned out perfect!

Baby Blocks: c/o Blockaholic Boutique

My grandmother made SR this beautiful quilt. She has made all of her children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren a quilt. They are so beautiful and special to us. I’m so thankful that Hampton and SR will have a piece of her forever.

Do you have a baby on the way or a party coming up that you need decor for? You’re in luck because Love Garlands is giving away a $50 credit to their shop to one of my lucky readers (open to U.S. and CA. only)! Just enter in the rafflecopter below and I will notify the winner next week!

Baby Girl’s Nursery Decor // Blockaholic Boutique

March 2, 2015

Blocks c/o Blockaholic Boutique here

Eiffel Tower: Hobby Lobby

Shelf: Target

We are officially 2 months (or sooner) away from meeting our baby girl! I have finally organized Hampton’s new room and Baby Girl’s closet, and I have officially started decorating! I know I know, it’s about time. With all the adorable nursery ideas on Pinterest, I just couldn’t decide what to choose. With less than 9 weeks until she arrives, I still have a lot to do around here. It’s times like these that I am very thankful for Etsy. I was so exited to find these adorable baby blocks from Blockaholic Boutique. They are so adorable and GREAT quality. I am loving these blocks for a baby boy. Are they not the cutest? They are real wood, painted and personalized. They can be customized to your specifications. Since we didn’t know our baby girl’s name until just recently – yes, we FINALLY have a name!! – I ordered the blocks to say “bebe Cantrell” instead!

Since we have waited so late to decide on a name, we are going to wait to announce it until she is born, however, you will get a sneak peek at her initials later this week! I’ve got to keep you guessing! 🙂

I’m so thankful to have finally started decorating her nursery. Luckily, I don’t have much more to do. I have one more shelf to decorate and I need to find something to put over her crib. Other than that, we are all set! I can’t wait to share more details of her nursery with you as I complete it!

Be sure to check out Blockaholic Boutique on Etsy! They have the cutest blocks and nursery decor around!

Weekend Update

February 9, 2015

This weekend was equally crazy, scary, exciting, fun and about a million other emotions. At my doctor appointment on Thursday, we found out that when our insurance policy changed, so did the amount of money we will owe the hospital after baby. Let’s just say that number grew by an extra zero. So there was that. Even better? We had just purchased brand new furniture the day before and it was literally being delivered to our house while I was at the doctor. To say that news stressed me out is an understatement.

We are absolutely thrilled about our new couch and chairs. It is so exciting and terrifying to make a big purchase like that, but I’m so thankful we did and our house finally feels like it is coming together a bit more. I even caught Hampton enjoying his bible stories book on one of our new chairs. As soon as he spotted me with the camera, he began showing off. haha He is a mess.

Friday and Saturday, Hampton stayed with his grandparents while Ryan and I attended a marriage conference. It was such a blessing to gather with other Christians and refocus our marriage on God and putting Him in the middle of our relationship. We learned a lot about how to deal with conflict and decisions which was really interesting and definitely encouraged us.

All in all it was a great weekend. New furniture, working on our love, and a baby-free night! While I did miss Hampton terribly, it was so nice to have a night off. We haven’t had that in a very long time.

How was your weekend?

Friday’s Letters

September 20, 2013

Dear Fall, thank you for finally hitting the great state of Alabama with your cool mornings this week. It has been a nice and welcomed change. Dear husband, thank you for keeping me sane during my nesting phase and putting up with me this week when I asked you to put 1,000 things together. You are a real trooper and baby H and I are lucky to have you. Dear neighbor, as sweet as you are, I just can’t handle when you ask me if I’m having triplets while I’m out exercising. Obviously I am about to pop and my confidence is a little low as it is. You probably shouldn’t ask any other pregnant woman that question again because they may not be as nice as I was. Dear Starbucks, thank you for your incredible Pumpkin Spice Lattes and for my third craving this pregnancy. Thank you also for spilling my drink and giving me 2 free ones for the inconvenience which really wasn’t an inconvenience to me. Dear Hampton, please come a week or two early. Mommy wouldn’t be mad if you did. In fact, it is encouraged. We are so ready to meet you. Dear Florida Gators, please don’t embarrass your fans tomorrow like you did two weeks ago. You about made a pregnant woman cry. I would really love it if coach Mushroom gave you a stern talking to and you pulled out a win.

Baby Showers (Part 1)

September 18, 2013

Ryan and I have been so blessed with an amazing church family, family and friends. We have been so overwhelmed by their support, prayers and beautiful gifts over the past few months. Our little boy is already so blessed and has more clothes than I do. Our first shower was held in our church building and honored us and 3 other couples. It was a very special night.

My family threw our second shower and was held at my parent’s house. It was so nice and everything was decorated in a “fall baby” theme. My family definitely gets my obsession with fall. It is so fitting that I am having a little pumpkin baby. I was reunited with some very close friends that I haven’t seen in a while and it was so much fun!

Silly friends!

My cousin actually had her baby 4 days after this picture was taken! We are so excited to welcome Natalie to our growing family!

I’ll post about our third shower once I get some photos back from it. 🙂

Jackie’s Spring Decor Inspiration

March 28, 2013

Hey lovies! I have a special treat for you today! Jackie is taking over my blog and will be sharing some spring decor with us! Please stop by and visit her! Welcome, Jackie!

********************************************************************

Hi everyone – I’m Jackie and I am so excited to be guest posting on Logan’s blog! I blog over at Jackie Jade – where I talk about decorating and updating our 1940s home. I also blog about what is inspiring me in home decor and in fashion. We are also slowly starting to plan out our wedding and I post tons of photos of my pugs too!

I don’t think I am alone in my dreams of spring. I live in western Pennsylvania and it seems like winter is lasting forever. I can’t wait to wear t-shirts and sandals. For my home, I can’t wait to bring some spring in as well.

One of the easiest ways to update your home decor is to change up your pillows. It’s a great way to change the whole look of the room and there are some great affordable options out there too.

Here are some of my favorite spring pillows out there right now.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

What’s your favorite place to buy fun new pillows? I hope you’ll come check out my blog – Jackie Jade and say hello! Thanks to Logan for hosting me!
