Dream Nursery {and Win $90}

When it's your own baby that is coming soon, I can see how easy it is for parents to spend a lot of money! Well, in my dream nursery, here are a few things that I believe are worth the investment. Some of these were even given to me (which is so kind of everyone!).

I'm finally 39 weeks pregnant, dilated a centimeter (better than nothing, right?) and counting down! It looks like Little Man will be making his big debut next week. So it had me thinking that it was high time we finally put together his nursery. 

Babyletto Crib | Sailboat Mobile | Zinc Letters | Oceanic Alphabet Poster | 

Whale Bookends | Octopus | BabyBjorn Bassinet | Bookshelf | Lamp 

I'm going for a simple nautical theme because I want Little Man to remember to dream. Soon I'll be reading him stories of Peter Pan and Captain Hook, sailing away to dreamland. 

Now for the fun part, know anyone that needs a little extra to pamper themselves? Maybe order one of the baby things above? Of course you do!

Handmade Christmas {baby boy edition}

I love handmade, made in America items. I'll be the first to say it, they're not always the cheapest options but the quality is always incomparable that I often find it completely worth it. Plus, it feels good to be putting money back into our economy and helping out a family business. Here's a few of my favorite holiday items that would be perfect for the little man in your life.

You can tell what I have mine on my mind (especially as my stomach is feeling ginormous these days :).

1. Hello Baby Pillow Cover | 2. Prince George Moccasins | 3. Family By Nature | 

4. Knotted Newborn Beanie | 5. Personalized Baby Boy Blessing Bracelet |

6. Personalized Snowflake Ornament

Now a few words as to why I chose these products. 

1. Iviebaby has the cutest nursery bedding. It just goes to show the fact we all love Elizabeth and her writing. This bright pillow would be so sweet in any nursery to make it feel welcoming. 

2. Freshly Picked has the best baby moccs out there PERIOD. These moccs are what I call tried and true because so many mamas have told me how they're perfect for their little. I think I died and went to heaven when I saw the blue! 

3. Even though I'm having a boy, it's important for him to know where his roots come from. Goose Grease creates the sweetest family wooden peg dolls that any family can enjoy. 

4. The moment that I'm dreaming of is when we get to take little man home from the hospital (counting down with only four more months to go!). I imagine him having a little beanie on his head and this one from Little Hip Squeaks is an easy no fuss, amazing solution.   

5. If you've been reading my blog for a long time, you'll know that Kellyannie is a favorite shop of mine. I hadn't been to her page in what seems like forever and only come to find an amazing baby boy blessing bracelet. Be still my heart, it literally almost brought tears to my eyes (pregnancy hormones).

6. Every year we put up a new ornament that marks something special about that year. I believe this personalized one from Cinnamon Sticks would be perfect for a baby's first Christmas. I know, I'm already thinking ahead because next year, I'm going to want to get in all the warm baby cuddles that I can.

What are some of your favorite handmade items? Are you a crafter? If so, I'd love to see your projects!
