There's this brand new baby.

His name is liam.
He was born on monday.
7 lbs. 14 oz. 19 inches.
He's so handsome. And wonderful.
I'm more than happy to be an aunt to another.

he's got so much hair. 

I like to pretend he's talking in a British accent saying "i'm a bloody rockstar"

look at those wrinkly feet.

p.s. i got lash extensions, and they're also wonderful.

i'll tell you tomorrow. 

Floral Crown

I've seen them on pinterest too much.
And everytime I see one?
I think I do a crafty sigh for how whimsical and pretty they are.
I finally made one.

I'm not doing a full DIY because they're are 100 out there.
(I used this one.)

You'll need...

 

1. Make your floral hoop, I twisted 5 pieces of wire together, so it was sturdy.

2. Cut the blooms and attach with wire, wrap the wire with floral tape...and repeat, repeat.

3. Be all cutesy and what not.

here's what i ended up with. im in love. 

While I don't think I could pull this off day to day, I am too excited to use it in photo shoots to come.

I'm in a funk

a blogging funk that is.

I apologize. I literally feel bad like everyday.
I get a follower, and I want to say "sorry if you're dissapointed, I've been a sucky blogger lately."
(especially this past week.)

In my defense, I got food poisoning, have been up to my neck in articles, and books on "how to not go crazy working with 15 five year old's", and making lots of photo plans.

I'm doing a craft with a dear friend of mine tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to share soon.
And my sister in law is going to have her baby by early next week.
basically exciting things are coming. and i'm excited.

as always,

love you girls, you keep me young. 

DIY Vintage Light Switch Plate

I met up with my fellow blogger friends Arielle and Brittney. 

We decided to do a craft, and through pinterest inspiration, this is what we did!

Before & After

1. First find a pretty plate(s). We got ours, under a dollar each, at thrift stores like D.I. and savers!

2. Triple bag them up? and slam them on the concrete. I was so nervous for this step, just because the plates even sliding in the car was sending chills in my spine. But it was easier, and a lot more fun then I thought it'd be!

3. We laid down our china pieces in a pan, for easy sorting, and picked out the pieces we wanted to use! (obviously, be carefully not to cut yourself up)

4. Next, lay down a patter then glue away. We used hot glue, but a few of my pieces have already been bumped off...so I say SUPER GLUE! :) 

here are the final results.
