THE BABY SHOWER

dress: Ingrid and Isabel (officially the best maternity dress ever!) We recently had our baby shower for our little boy. It was exactly what I wanted it to be! We did a woodland themed, co-ed baby shower. I wanted it to be simple, with delicious food and lots of mingling with friends and family. There was a little tree with both daddy and mommy’s baby/kid pictures with an ultrasound photo of our baby boy. I painted a tree and asked ...

FALLING FOR PLAID

shirt (Target old) similar here, skirt, sunglasses, booties Holy baby bump! Finally past the stage of “is she pregnant or did she just eat a big meal?” I love it!

TOP KNOT HOW TO

I finally have a small tutorial for my top knot. I tend to do this hairstyle a lot since I prefer my hair out of my face. It comes out a little different every time, but I still love it. I have also gotten questions from friends and my sister’s friends on how I do it. This tutorial is especially for Maddie! You will need a hair tie, bobby pins and hair spray. 1. Start with day old hair. Dirty hair makes this top knot hold better. I ...

All you do is combine the 2 ingredients, let them set (coconut oil should harden and not be a liquid ...
