It's Monday. Perhaps the lamest day of the week but I'm here to (hopefully) give your Monday a little lift/inspiration with photos from the boho inspired baby shower my friends threw for sweet baby Colt. A couple of my friends were the brains behind the boho theme and I just followed their directions and helped them craft! The shower was full of yarn dream catchers, tassels, indigo dip dyed fabric, geodes, feathers, and other fun items. Check it out!

My partners in crime. These girls are always down to throw a good shower!

You may recognize some of the items such as the table runners from my own shower. When in doubt re-use (some) of the things you already created! The sweet girls who hosted this shower also hosted my shower 3 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure if someone else gets prego anytime soon they are going to cry. ;) I'm also sure if I never saw another piece of yarn for a while I'd be ok with that.

Congrats on your sweet baby boy (#2) Candyce! You make motherhood look so beautiful!

Guys, I had such a sweet surprise at my anatomy scan this week...Baby boy's cysts are all gone! This was the first anatomy scan M was able to attend and it was so sweet to be able to celebrate with him there. I went into the appointment thinking that his cysts would still be there and oddly enough I was ok with it.
I can honestly say I have had so much peace throughout this pregnancy. I've been able to force my self to look back and see God's faithfulness which helps the worry to melt away. Here are some of my reminders of his sovereignty that I always run to:

-Our new insurance covered part of our IVF
-He gave us the EXACT amount of babies we were praying for; no more, no less
-He sustained those 2 embryos over the five day waiting period even when our doctors said their chances were slim
-I was able to get the doctor I wanted even though he isn't taking any new patients
-He knew our deep desire to have a boy and a girl and allowed that to happen (in such a fun way!)
-I have had a pretty uncomplicated pregnancy...such a blessing!
-Friends and family have been super helpful and accommodating
-Baby boy's cysts are gone!

I just love reading that list over and over. It brings me so much comfort to see how God has sustained us throughout this whole journey. We don't deserve any of it but he has still poured out his grace and mercy upon us. He's such a good Father!

If I had to have a complaint it's that my back is KILLING me from 4pm till I go to bed. The only thing that brings relief is laying down on my side and having M massage me. I would say, "Hurry up and come out babies" but then I have a whole new set of problems. ;) Anyway I'll gladly take the back pain in exchange for these two sweet babies cooking. They are beyond worth it!

Move over pineapples there's a new fruit in town and it may have you puckered. That's right, lemons are the main squeeze this summer. I've been seeing them pop up everywhere and I am not sad about it! While I still do love a good pineapple print, lemons take on a fresh new look in the baby and toddler clothing department and I can't keep my hands off of it! Here are some of my favorite picks!

All items from Gap except for:

 

girl's halter lemon swimsuit

boy's/girl's lemon drop crotch pants

boy's/girl's lemon shorts

Also be sure and check out the back of the lemon ruffle blouse/bloomer set at Gap. The back of the shirt is open and oh SO cute. I got it for baby girl and I just can't wait to see her in it! I also purchased the matching boy/girl lemon swim suits...too much! 

Go see if you were the lucky winner of a $75 credit to JORD wood watches HERE! And hey even if you weren't the winner you still get $20 off your purchase if you entered the giveaway. Everyone's a winner! ;)

With Father's Day around the corner I thought I would pick out some things M would like (and hopefully your man too!). I always like to see other people's Father's Day gift ideas so hopefully this inspires some of you. Happy shopping!

Last Friday Blair graduated from her first year of preschool. They sang a couple songs that weren't sad at all (but why were my eyes tearing up?!) and we received some darling memory books that I want to look at over and over. My favorite picture is the one where I attended her Christmas performance in a wheel chair because I was still on IVF bed rest! Who knew those little babes were growing inside at that moment!?

I can't believe what a big girl she is. From here on out our summer is dedicated to swimming in the backyard, eating popsicles, and hanging out until our worlds get rocked by the twins. :) 

We love Mrs. A!

And Mrs. F!

Grampa even got to attend the festivities!

And because it was national donut day to boot we had to celebrate...

Her first year of preschool flew by and while we both enjoyed it :), I am looking forward to lazy mornings with her at home. Not having to rush out the door to school and instead staying in our jammies (or swim suits) all day sounds like fun to me!

Blair's dress is Old Navy but I found it at a consignment shop for $4. :)

 With Father's Day, graduations, and wedding season upon us I wanted to team up with JORD watches and show you guys some great gift options! Whether you are thinking about giving this watch to your own dad or husband, graduate, or as a bridal party gift; it works for everyone! Who doesn't like to know what time it is? ;)

JORD watches are made from wood and have a totally unique and natural vibe; perfect for summer. I love the laid back feeling of their watches. You can wear them with jeans and a tee shirt for a casual beachy feel or dress them up with some stack-able jewelry to add texture to any outfit like I did below...

Mixing natural elements, like wood, and metals adds a lot of interest to any outfit and it's easy to do. You can find my watch right HERE and the rest of the women's watches HERE.

Not only do I like these watches but M thought they were pretty rad too. Hint hint...perfect Father's Day gift idea right here!

Here's the exciting part...JORD is giving away a $75 credit to their store to one lucky reader. They are also going to give $20 off to everyone else who doesn't "win." That's actually a win/win. ;) Click HERE to enter!

A huge thank you to JORD for sending me this

I absolutely love it!

Teeny and Tiny's nursery is 95% done and I really do love how it turned out. I went with a modern bohemian theme for their gender neutral nursery. Since I wanted a lot of texture I incorporated natural wood, cement, agate stones, cacti, succulents and a woven rug. I kept the walls and curtains neutral so it can grow with them (and ultimately baby girl twin).

For the first several weeks of designing the nursery I thought both babies were boys. I wasn't starting over once we found out baby A was actually a girl so I included some more feminine colors in the sheets. I think it's the perfect balance.

Remember my original mood board? And the finished product below...

I am just obsessed with these herringbone patterned sheets from Hudson Baby Co. It's the perfect amount of mustard and navy with a smidge of pink. Her whole etsy shop is filled with darling and unique patterns and prints. If only I needed to design thousands of nurseries... All the heart eyes!

I still need to swap out the chandelier and am waiting for an agate night light to arrive. Other than that I'm done! The pictures really don't do it justice but overall I'm really happy with their space. I just can't wait to cuddle those babies in their sweet room.
