Decorating the Nursery

We just added these blue stripes to CJ's already green walls. Then of course we decided we needed to add crown molding too. I like the colors because they could work for either a boy or a girl.

Yellow and White

I just bought these shorts for Jade. They are by Cherokee at Target and I got them for only $3.50! You can't really tell in the picture but they are yellow with light blue strips running down. So cute!

New Summer Clothes!

Here is an outfit I bought for Jade on clearance last fall. The top is from the Classic winnie the pooh collection and the skirt is Circo. I got it for onley $1.50! I was very proud of that find:)
And look how cute she looks!

On becoming preschool wise

I am a "baby wise" parent and I am glad that it is not ends when your baby becoming a toddler and a preschooler. I am reading this book and I learned a lot of very useful information about managing Emma's days and getting her ready for a preschool and school. It also answered some questions I had about children's development. Anyway good stuff, good stuff:)

Baby doll blanket

Emma was given this little blanket for her baby doll. You can see it on her face that she absolutely loves it and she is not ready let that baby an that blanket go ever. I think it is really cute idea and it is so easy to make that kind of blanket if you are looking for a gift for a little girl. Just take a pink flees, cut ends and tie knots:)

Last year Pirate Birthday Party

I want to have a collection of the birthday parties themes in case anyone will have a need for one. So here is a Pirate Party that we went with Emma last year. All boys had black bandannas and an eye patch, an ear ring and a fabric belt. I think it was very easy and clever:) Than they could take their outfits home as a party favor.

This is a cake made as a pirate ship with some play mobile toys on top of it. I like the Swedish fish in the water:)

This are some decorations on the table

Pirate flag and "Happy birthday" sign on the window

Here is Emma in the girl's version of the pirate costume. Bandanna was pink and she also got some beads and a pink belt
