Pinterest Ideas

I am addicted to Pinterest.  One place to store all kinds of crazy ideas that I will probably never use?  It's awesome!  The first section I always check is the 'Kids' section and I have a ton of things posted to my 'Baby' board.  I really hope to take some time and use some of these ideas because there are some pretty cool things on there!  I have provided the link to each idea's original page under each picture.

This is my favorite by far...

Project Nursery

Partially because it's something that is easy to create and also because it's true!  Every morning I wake up, my little girl makes me smile.  She always makes me smile!  I might go with something like this to match her room.


This has to be the most beautiful shadow box I have ever seen.

Make it: Gorgeous Shadow Boxes

I think it's adorable.  It has the onesie and hat the baby came home in, the first picture and the first letter of the name.  Other than changing the colors on the letter to brown and pink, there isn't much about this that I would change.  What a great way to remember your baby!

I love, love, LOVE this book idea!

Personalized Alphabet Book

You take pictures of your child and turn them into an alphabet/word book.  What kid doesn't want to see pictures of himself/herself in a book?!

I really love this little frame and poem...


I would probably get the green print in brown and get the pink a little lighter to match her room but otherwise I think this is just adorable!

I LOVE this and I think it is such an awesome idea!


Once again, I would do a pink and brown theme and I would probably put a picture in the first one with her name and information in the second frame since it has the A for Ashlyn.

I really love this idea and I will probably do something like this for myself.


You keep the cards that are the most important to you in a card binder.  Decorate it any way you'd like.  I think this is a really cool way to preserve these cards.

The classic picture frame...

Silver Leaf First Year Frame

I take enough pictures that I could fill one of these up each month!  This one from Pottery Barn is a bit expensive but I'm sure you could make your own quite easily.

I really love this idea and I hope to do it...

The Princess Brides

I still have my wedding dress in my closet and I doubt I will get it preserved so I could do this.  It would be so cute to display this at her wedding someday.  (not any time soon)

I think the picture speaks for itself...
Now We Have Everything

This is just too adorable.  I find the cutest stuff on Etsy.com

What a cool way to keep track of your toddler...


I've seen people do this on a monthly/weekly basis while pregnant too.

Some ideas for the next baby...

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
