Giraffe Neutral Nursery

Love this cute giraffe nursery from Linde Browning Design.  The hand painted giraffe wall looks so cute and I love the other colors they used in the furniture and fabrics. 

 Even the picture frame has color which enhances this safari style room.

 Dark brown and white furniture and pieces can be found all over the room.  The white pieces will enhance the wall, and the browns make a bold statement and stand out more.  I love the curtains and the initials of the baby.

13 Weeks Pregnant Chalkboard

We just got back from our cruise on 13 weeks so I had to take this a few days after.  I felt awesome on the cruise (motion sick on the first day) and loved how I could eat anything in my path.  Now I actually have to cook being back and can't eat all of the fruit that I did on the boat, but again feeling pretty good and no more nausea since about 8 weeks.  

Here is how big I am 13 Weeks Pregnant!

Cravings: strawberries

Inches: 9 inches larger around belly

How I've used my time: pregnancy pictures, quiet book

Cravings: Strawberries

Other facts: I'm always hungry, about 8 mini meals, no nausea, vivid dreams

10 Week Pregnancy Pictures

I'm in the process of taking my 13 week picture now, but here is how I'm showing family and friends (and myself) my pregnancy progress.  The frame is an Ung Drill frame from IKEA and it is a tan color.  When we find out the baby's gender I will paint it to match the future nursery room.  

So here is 10 weeks, baby is the size of a PRUNE.  

Inches: 8 inches larger around belly

How I've used my time: baby shower and nursery ideas

Cravings: Strawberries, Kneaders soup, oranges

Other facts: can't read out loud without losing my breath

I get tired a lot and eat about 6 small meals a day

We're Expecting

Since I love all of those cute ideas out there for announcing babies, here is our cute announcement. I'm loving chalkboard themes right now!

Farmhousefive Art 4 Kids Nursery and Room Decor

I love the items from Farmhousefive Art 4 Kids as gifts for baby showers, birthdays, and also some great gifts for grandma and other family.  The prices are super affordable for these great quality items, and can add great decor in your baby or kid's room.

One of Farmhousefive awesome products are their Birth Mats which are cute mats that have the baby's birth information.  

Choose from some of their cute designs and include the baby's name, date of birth, time, weight, and length. Here are some close ups of a boy and girl Birth Mat.  How cute are these to send to Grandma and Grandpa or maybe put on your desk at work?

I've seen closet dividers before for kids, but Famhousefive definitely has the cutest selection.  You use these dividers to easily separate and keep track of baby clothes.  Each divider can help you easily find your baby's clothes and right size and if you buy clothes in advance, you can keep track of what items you have in what sizes.  

Along with the cute Farmhousefive Birth Mats, they also have another collection of photo mats called Celebration Photo Mats which I think would be adorable for events like birthday parties, baptisms, start of school, vacation times and whatever else you choose.

I love the Wall Decals not only from their cute and unique designs, but at Farmhousefive they are made from woven fabric which can be repositioned numerous times and is water resistant. For girls you can find wall decals from flowers, owls, cupcakes, princess designs, etc.  For boys they have animals, planes, pirates, robots, and more. 

 Lastly, I love their cute wall art which you can find as wall decals, growth charts, name and letter decor and more!  They have so many cute designs, patterns, and colors to place in baby nurseries or kid rooms.  What's great is that the wall art is so affordable, these Letter Wall Art are all $14.99.  

Come on over and check out Farmhousefive Art 4 Kids and organize and decor your baby nursery or kid's room all cute!  Follow on Facebook as well.

Organization ideas for baby closets

Are you an organized person? Like to know where every little item is in your house and if you need something right away you can go right to the correct location and find it? Well, I'm like that. I like to not only keep things clean, but organized.  

Here are some ideas of what you can do to organize your baby closet.

Here is a beautiful baby boy nursery.  It looks like there is not a lot of space so they took out the closet doors to have a walk in closet for the clothing, and also the changing table as well.

 Another cute organization tip for a baby closet is to keep track of the clothing age like the image below.  Many stores online sell these cute dividers which can help you keep track or find the right size easily.

This closet looks so organized. If you look closely you can see the closet only has two hanger racks and the other storage comes from hanging shoe racks which of course you don't need to use for just shoes.  I have one of these cute racks from IKEA which didn't cost that much.  It's easy to throw things in and keep some kind of organization, but it's easy to see the mess or have things fall out.  You can sometimes buy drawers with these as well to hide the mess.

If you have money to spend or if your house has built in closets, you can fit.... and hide... a lot of clothing and toys.  This was my favorite built in closet with doors.  I also liked how the left side has shelves and the right side has hangers.

Lastly, buying fabric bins is a great way to fill those empty closet shelves for your baby closet/bedroom.  I like this closet how they chose neutral color bins and added the pink tags to match.  If you move, the baby changes bedrooms, or you want to use the bins for something else, you have a neutral color to go with.  Also, you can buy or make liners for these baskets to add pattern or color as well.  Just a thought :)

Good luck my organizing buddies! May your closets be organized!
