I buy these for me

Mom Confession Time.

I would pick up one of these animals for Sonny Every Time I went out.

But we are trying to maintain an existence of simplicity around here and if I DID, then we would be OVER RUN with animals.

(as it is I sneak a couple into the house here and there anyway)

Check out the collection here

Alphabet cards for Sonny

This one here... hello U for Unicorn!

Or this one here... I have never heard of a Nutria, but it's pretty darn cute!

Or this one here... Sonny is loving dear these days.  Like, everyday we get a "DEER??? DEER???"

 

 This poster is great too.

I really like the idea of setting up a wall of cards to him now that he is really getting into letters and numbers.  His favorite is R.  He can say it and sign it and he points them out wherever he sees them.

Ridiculously cute.

Plus animals are a big hit around here.  Tigers, Cat, Deer and Dragons(!) particularly.

When he's bigger

Sonny is ABSOLUTELY going to need one of these.




I think a wolf is in order.

And what else is amazing about these Spirit Hoods is that for every one purchased, a percentage of the sale goes to support animal conservancy charities.

Oh my God

It's too late for Christmas, but Lordy this is SO CUTE!!

The Daily Countdown has begun

So it's April 1st today, and this is in no way a joke.

We're 25 days away from our due date.

There is a seemingly endless list of THINGS that I want to do before our Sonny get's here.

In no particular order...

*finish his room
-this entails painting, assembling his crib, decorating and sewing projects

*a freezer bake
-I can't reasonably expect our lovely friends and family to accomodate all of our food restrictions so I have a few recipes that I want to prep and freeze so we've got a couple of weeks of dinners at least covered.

*paint the living room
-this has been on my list for AGES and I just haven't had the chance to get around to it. But I am hoping that after we get his room done and I've got a couple weeks of mat leave before he gets here (hopefully) that I can sneak a day of painting in there and get it done. It's only three walls and it shouldn't take me that long, but I know that once he gets here it ain't happening.

*Baby Crafts
-these are purely optional, but things that I WANT to do, like a mobile for his room, prepping up an old thrifted sheet set into wipes, little things that I have wanted to do since we found out he was coming but that I couldn't justify doing until I had packed up the studio. We'll just see how this list comes together!

I am sure there are a lot more things on this list than I can think of right now too.

sigh.
