The Lord has been reminding me lately that I am so so blessed to be doing what I do as a Mommy.

Today was one of those days where every look, smile, diaper change, whine, giggle, roll, bow organizination, non napping baby, applesauce spill...

has made my heart full.

(some pics from the last day or two...)

I cannot handle that cuteness.

why does Abigail look so old and beautiful? time needs to slow down. for real.

and those eyes.

the best of sissies.

taking well to a bottle every now and then!

first bottle given by her big sister. a sweet sweet moment they both loved!

again with the looking so old. and beautiful.

carefree joy.

best flower-smelling-face ever!

"not so tight Abigail!"

preciousness.

So so thankful I get to do life with these two.

It's been a good day. :)

Hope y'all had a lovely Thursday too!

I always love seeing other people's rooms and nurseries. :)

As you will see, I like to say my style is not very "pinteresty" or "crafty", but I feel like it is evolving a little as I explore some inner creativity. hehe.

I also plan to do more when we own a home here someday, and can do more with it.

All that said...

welcome to my two favorite rooms in the house!!!

First up: Big Sister

(the green room!)

(quilt set: Target)

I LOVE these colors. They are very Abigail...sweet but with a little sassy brightness. :)

Abigail has been in her "big girl bed" since she was about 21 months and she loves it! She took right to it. I think WE love it more though, because we get to cuddle close in her bed every night. :)

I painted those wooden letters from Michaels, and hot glued pink ribbon to add a little "pretty" to them.

(sorry the picture exposure is terrible in that shot)

This is of A's nice window and window seat, she LOVES looking out the window and climbing up there to read. Both girls rooms are upstairs, so she has a nice view and can see Daddy driving up from far away!

her "wall". All kinds of fun pictures and such.

The wooden cross in the middle is one of my favs. It has buttons and jewels on it!

I got it at a craft fair in Dallas, and have recently contacted the maker, and she's gonna be opening up a shop soon...Ill keep you posted on that!

I got that awesome pink dresser at a vintage resale shop in town, right after we moved here.

I am in love with the color and shape! It just fits perfectly.

I got those letters at a little store in Dallas before we moved, and I wish SO badly I knew who makes them...they are one of my favorite decorations in her room.

They are magnets that hook together! cute, right?

The "A is for Abigail" print is from one of my real life besties, Jess.

Aren't those so cute? She can make one for you!!

(visit her new shop here)

and one of my bloggy bff''s, Aly, made that precious hoop art with Abigail's name and birthdate!

you need to get you one of these!! :)

(visit her shop here)

oh, and she also made that sweet print!

I made the yarn wreath! go me. :)

I keep a basket of puzzles, and that pink box is full of dress up clothes (think Princess).

On the other side of her room is a dolly bed and a little book shelf filled with books!

There were some shelves up really high in her room (we have really high ceilings upstairs),

and so of course I filled them with pictures and pretties. :)

NOW, on to Sweet B's room:

(the yellow room!)

It is also the guest bedroom. Abigail's nursery was the same way, sharing with the big bed.

(so if you come stay with us, be prepared to feel very girly)

But I love it that way, because I slept in there with her for the first few months while she as nursing all night long.

Bethany's "wall". Doesn't have as much as Abigail's yet, but it will someday!

Again, the sweet print and hoop art are from Aly at Blossom & Vine. Can you tell I love her stuff?

(She also makes a lot of B's baby headbands!)

Those sweet dancer prints were in Abigail's nursery. I got them way cheap at Michael's when I was preggo. I just added the same pink ribbon to them as on the name letters.

When I saw this canvas at Target, I couldn't resist it. (I am a dancer!)

Abigail made that for B when she was still in my belly. SO so sweet.

I had searched everywhere for a perfect "humidifier table", and finally found one at Hobby Lobby. I spray painted it light pink, and it is perfect! the perfect little size for the corner.

It holds the humidifier and sound machine.

This is Bethany's beautiful crib.

And I love her bedding. I found it on Babies R Us, but then contacted the maker and got a better price because she had just launched her line.

It is very Bethany. Light and sweet.

(swoon)

The rocker/glider was given to us by some friends (we traded a chair with them), and I love it.

and I love having a snuggle bug finally that likes to be rocked in it!

(that's my pink robe I hang by the door for the late night feedings)

That crib is very special to me.

When pregnant with A, I had expressed to my in-laws that I really wanted this particular crib but that we would not get it because it was too expensive.

But they got it for me as a surprise...a week before my father-in-law passed away suddenly.

So it holds a special place knowing that he had a lot to do with getting us my "dream crib"

this is my view when I come up the stairs...both their sweet rooms right there next to each other! We plan for them to share rooms eventually and I look forward to the adventures that will bring!
