[cute stuff for baby's room]

Love these! I might have to get one even though our Baby is already 9 years old.

[future worth living for]

I had to make many baby cards recently and thought I'd share them with you. 

I just printed the image on the right side of a landscape oriented Microsoft Word document, then cut it and folded it. To make the thought circle, I made two 3.5" columns in a Microsoft Word document, inserted the image (six per page), and then cut them with a 3" circle cutter. I attached mine with a foam square. Super simple. Like I said, I had to make many cards.

You can also use these images in your scrapbooking. Perfect for Project Life albums.

[the joy of babies]

My sister had a baby boy recently so I’ve had babies in my mind. Here are some of my favorite baby things from my BABY Pinterest board. Please click the link to see the source for each photo.

Thank goodness for the Internet, by the way. I was able to “almost be there” for the birth as we kept in touch via Facebook during it. It made it less of a blow to be so far away from my family when such an exciting event was occurring.

Love my new nephew already, even though we haven't met in person yet. ♥

[top 10 baby names - 2012]

Thought I’d share with you the top 10 boy & girl names in 2012 here in Alberta.

Some parents gave their baby a geographic name: Cairo, Rio, Memphis, Alabama, Ireland and Jersey.

Here are some unique ones: Shy-Angel, Dancing-Sunflower, Rhaney-Day, Thunderbolt, Little, Horizon, Brave, Beautiful.

[garlands for kids]

My mom asked me to make some garlands for some special kids for Christmas. This is what I came up with.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (or Hanukkah or whatever you might have celebrated). Sienna was so excited about everything that it made our Christmas super fun. Children make it all memorable and enjoyable!

I'm not going anywhere near the stores no matter what kind of sales they have. But I did get a Kobo gift certificate and they have a great sale online this week. Please let me know of any books you have enjoyed lately. I would really, really appreciate it! I especially love historical novels but will read almost anything as long as the story is great and there's no garbage in it (bad language, detailed sex scenes, disturbing things, etc.). 

Wishing you all wonderful things in 2013!
