Nursery Alphabet Wall

Well new and exciting things are developing in our little girl's room this week/weekend!  We were able to purchase a "previously loved" crib and mattress set for pennies on the dollar and my much anticipated wooden alphabet letters came in the mail this week!  We have been busy setting the nursery in the layout that we want and decorating the walls!  This is so much fun for me!  I love getting ideas off of places like Pintrest and just going at them with my own little twist in there to make them my own.  Previously I showed you guys two of my different canvas wall art projects.  Both stemmed from ideas off of Pintrest.  This weekend I want to show you all the alphabet wall that I did with a lot of help from my wonderful husband!  So here it is:


Don't you just love it!  When I saw this trend on Pintrest I knew I had to do my own!  I bought the alphabet letters from a seller on ebay that was selling them for pretty cheap.  They are just pressed wood and the edges weren't too rough so I didn't have to sand them.  I eagerly awaited these suckers because the alphabet wall was the one big piece to the nursery that I knew I had to have!  I modge-podged (or actually half Elmer glue half water for substitute modge podge since they don't sell it on this island) scrapbook paper of the colors that I wanted to stand out in the room.  I am going with a patterned look in pink, turquoise, light blue and light green.  I thought these colors would look best together with everything else that we have going on.  Plus it was also awesome that I already had the scrape book paper from my scrape-booking days.

The crib in the picture is the one that  we got for a great price from a lady that is pcs-ing soon down the road.  She sold us the whole set with the mattress and the mobile.  I am not sure if I am going to keep the mobile yet because I was planning on making my own but hey it might just be easier to use the one I already have.  We will see how it goes.  I might go crazy needing another project to wrap myself in soon enough.  

Anyways, there was one more momentous purchase that we made this weekend.  Up until now Matthew and I had not purchased a single piece of clothing for our little girl.  I am happy to say that now the first item of clothing has been purchased and that the wording on the front shirt is probably indicative of how this little girl already has daddy wrapped around her finger!  Matthew saw a total of 1 other outfit before this one; he read the front onsie and instantly decided that was the set he wanted to get!  Of course I agreed but really mostly because I thought the designs on the other onsies were super cute too! 



One last picture before I finish up; but only because I know you all are wanting an updated belly shot!  I am actually starting to look like a pregnant woman a little.  Rounding out to the point where its not as hard to tell that I am carrying an actual baby and not a food baby!  (Even though this picture doesn't do a very good job of showing that.)  :)


Thanks for reading!

long lost days and couch beds

So I have not been keeping up with this in the past few days considering I have been pretty busy. Thus I am going to do some quick over-views of the past few days so that I can get myself to bed. I haven't been sleeping all that well for a while now and I need to get my beauty rest. On Sunday Matthew and I went back to Grace Assembly (our old/home church) for the late service. We wanted to go back to Grace since we are doing the mission trip through them and they were having a young adult meeting after church. The young adults meeting was pretty great. We went to Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest and had a room to ourselves reserved. I love getting everyone together. There are always great conversations. After we ate we had a little talk about getting young adults going again and about this new adopt a school program that they wanted us to get involved in. I am feeling pretty siked about the adopt a school program because it is with a middle school and we would get ...

To Start Again

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted anything here.  We have since been in Great Lakes, IL for a little over 2 years now and I feel like we have made ourselves a comfortable home and extended group of friends that are like family in the area.  But of course, like true Navy fashion, and God's design for life, nothing goes according to plan. I thought here in Great Lakes there would be little to no chance of Matthew ever getting deployed. God had a different plan.  Long story short, he is now deployed overseas and has been for almost 3 months.  He will be back sometime around May 2019 (that's about 10 months total). I've been having a lot of thoughts about how my days and plan are escaping me and I have trouble remembering what I've did yesterday let alone last week.  And so, I've decided to try and take back up on the blogging.  Hopefully it will be therapeutic for me and as well as help me when I want to ...

worst monday ever! (5/24/10)

So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC. About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think ...
