B.Inspired by... Ornaments!

We put up our Christmas tree last weekend. We opted for a very tiny (maybe 3 feet tall), artificial, prelit tree. We always told ourselves that once we had children, we would definitely have a big, real Christmas tree. Well, having a toddler who either laughs or burst out crying when you tell him "NO" has quickly changed that thinking! So we proudly put our tiny, but charming tree on top of the dining room table where curious fingers can't reach. Maybe next year we'll be ready for that big tree... or maybe not!

We decorated our tiny tree in shimmering shades of green and gold. Here are some great ornament finds on Etsy for you to consider for yours!

B.Inspired by... Nesting

My son, Sawyer, will be one year old tomorrow! On the eve of his Birthday I have been reminiscing about his birth and all of the events leading up to it. At this time one year ago I was preparing for his arrival: adding finishing touches to the nursery, organizing all of the soft, tiny outfits in the dresser and closets. I was nesting. So in honor of that time, here are a few creations featuring nests and nesting that inspire me!
