Bella's Room project

I am so embarassed to admit it, but after living in this house for one year we still have yet to decorate Bella's room!  There just always seems to be so much to do....My goal is to have her room done before this new little one arrives....however that is really really soon!  I hope I can meet my goal.  My mom came over this weekend to help me complete the cherry blossom project we decided would look darling above her crib....yep she's two and still in a crib.  I will be keeping her there for as long as we can, because otherwise we would never sleep again! 
We found a cute picture on Pinterest to copy, bought some brown paint, cherry blossoms, and rhinestones for the center of the flowers.  Since we are renting this house, we really can't paint the rooms like I would like to, but I think this brightens up her wall a lot!  We both loved how it turned out....not perfect, but real!

 The wall above her crib before we started....plain as can be.

 First we penciled in the way we wanted it to look, then my mom started painting..

A Baby Sprinkle

A week ago my best friend Heidi and my mom threw me a beautiful "Baby Sprinkle."  Now I was unsure if technically I should be having one of these because my last baby girl is only two years old....however my mother is the queen of etiquette and she insisted a "Baby Sprinkle" was completely proper!  I have to trust her, she is usually right.  :)  We decided to do something very small in intimate with just family and a few close girlfriends.  It was such a special day, I was crying before the guests even all arrived.  A huge thank you to my best friend Heidi and mom for making the day so very special and everyone that came and celebrated this new baby girl that will be joining us very soon!

I loved this so much!  A Time Capsule where everyone wrote a new message to this baby girl and she will get to open the box on her 21st birthday. 

The diaper cake my mom made...gorgeous!  She used the seventh generation diapers we use for Bella and with their tan color, I thought it was a real cake when I first came in.



Delicous spread of food!  If only my stomach wasn't so squished up I would have eaten even more, everything was so good!

Beautiful cupcakes my sister made

My BFF Heidi...love you!

Thank you everyone again for the special and laughter filled day!
