Come One Come All, To See The Wall!

I finally finished my photo frame wall!  Finally!




I love it! Its full of photos of Noah, a couple of engagement photos of Paul and I, and a few of our very first family photos. Its hard to see in the photos but that K in the middle is covered in green sheet  moss. My goal was to copy these awesome letters from Pottery Barn that cost $79. Way too rich for my budget.

I just took one of Noah's diaper boxes and cut out the bottom, found a good font I liked and printed a huge "K" off the computer. (I used photoshop to cut the letter into three portions because I wanted the letter bigger than one sheet of paper.) I traced the "K" onto the cardboard, asked the hubs very sweetly to cut the thing out and then covered it in sheet moss from JoAnn's. Total project cost? $8.99

Totally beats $79 eh?

Anyway, I LOVE this wall. I just want to sit and stare at it all the time. It has all of my favorite photos of my favorite people! I bought frames mostly from Goodwill and just spray painted them white so it was cheapo too! My husband likes my thriftiness and I love my wall!

These Are a Few of Our Favorite Things

Just in case you want to know what Noah likes to do and use all day:

We're borrowing this from some friends of ours (Thanks Wades!), but Noah loves bouncing around in here so much, I think we'll have to buy one after we return this to its rightful owners. They have another little man on the way that will need to get his bounce on soon!

We have a few different types of cloth diapers, but these are our favorite by far. They are made better and are easier to use than the others we have. If we have to buy any more at any point, we'll be investing in more of these!

We LOVE this carrier. Its so soft on the inside and Noah always falls alseep riding in it so we know he's comfy :)


Thank heavens for whoever invented pacifiers. Noah constantly likes to suck on things and these paci's are his favorite (besides his fingers).


We used this as a bassinet in our room when we brought Noah home from the hospital. We couldn't find another pack n play with the storage and hamper on the side within our price point. This was actually the cheapest one we looked at and it was my favorite! Its easy to put together and take apart (once you do it one time) and it all fits in one travel bag. Love it.

These things are suPREMEly over-priced, so we got ours on craigslist for $10. Nice! We do love using them to let Noah work out those neck and back muscles.


Noah loves kicking this and watching the lights and listening to the music it plays. We have it hanging in his crib, but we don't put him close enough to play with it when he should be sleeping.

Anyway, we love using all of these things which were mostly gifts from family and friends. Thanks family and friends! We love you!
