It has been quite awhile since I did a shop update, so I'm excited to share some new products with you!

I've added quite a few new bloom button headbands...

Almost all items are in stock and ready to ship! They are perfect baby shower gifts...in fact I'm making one for a shower this weekend. :) I also do custom orders so if you want a particular style/color/size just let me know!

{thursday randoms}

 Ready for a little Thursday randomness?

1. I'm part of a fun giveaway over on my friend Allison's blog, Crafted Love.

 

So head on over and you could win a bunch of goodies including a pair of my flower hair pins!

2. A week from today we are taking the boys on our very first little family vacation, which means our first since before they were born! I know...they are three...don't judge until you've had twins. :)

The hubby's aunt and uncle live in a suburb of Chicago so we're heading up there to spend Labor Day weekend. We are super excited to get out of town, but nervous about the boys' first overnight sleeping adventure. If you have suggestions to make the drive/sleeping easier I would love to hear them! Prayers are also of course appreciated. ;)

3. I snapped this photo of our cat Melvin in our yard the other night...

Isn't he a cutie? Such a sweet face.

4. I was reminded this morning of a particular scripture...

It seems that just when money is getting tighter and payday is still too many days away, a little bit of money makes it's way to us through my Etsy shop or in other ways. That happened to us today and I'm so very grateful.

5. My Benny...

Looking so grown up. Gah can time just stop for a little bit?

What are your random thoughts for the day?

{love list}

Sooo happy to say it is Friday!!! How about a little love list to kick off the weekend?

1. I can't wait to try this scarf tutorial...

3. I need to find an old painting so I can make one of these...

And t-shirt yarn!

I will be going through my drawers this weekend. Do you hear me old and too tight t-shirts? Yeah...I'm coming for you.

5. And finally a little squirrel love...

I think I definitely need this print.

What are you loving this week?

 Get ready for cuteness overload in 3.....2.....1....

I warned you! :)

This adorable and super cozy newborn hat and cocoon set is now available in my shop! It is a perfect photography prop or gift for a new mom to use for her little one's newborn photos.

Here are a couple other items that you can snag for your next baby shower or if you have your own little one on the way...

Fluffy pom poms. Every baby needs some.

For your little rock star...a mohawk!

Love this multi-colored one.

I also take custom orders!
