DIY Nursery Decorations

One of the handmade decorations I crafted for my baby boys nursery is an easy cheap wall decoration that I made in under 20 minutes. I had the materials needed already in my home so this project cost nothing !
First I picked out a piece of ribbon and decided how long I wanted it to hang down on my wall. Then I searched on Google for a clipart shape of an elephant. (You can use any animal shape or a flower or umbrella... anything that matches your nursery theme!) I don't have a printer so I just traced very lightly the outline of the elephant right off my laptop. Once I had the "stencil" drawn out I took several different pieces of scrapbook paper and cut the elephant shape out very carefully. I then glued each elephant to the piece of ribbon  just a couple inches apart from each other. After I let it dry I then hung it up on the wall with a tack. SO EASY! so get crafting !! : D

IKEA Adventure

Today my boyfriend, baby Liam and I spent the day wandering IKEA. I love IKEA like everyone does I am sure. But now that I have a baby and notice all the kid-friendly things there, I have even more respect for this awesome cheap place ! While eating their delicious Swedish meatballs, I noticed a bottle warmer plugged in ready for anyone to use ! There was a children's play and eat area in the cafeteria as well. A short sink in the bathroom for shorties and lots of toys to play on/with in the kids bedroom showroom. Everything was so adorable I think I smiled the whole time I was in there ! We bought Liam a cute decoration for over his cradle (soon to be crib!) It looks like a circus tent and even though his theme isn't circus, it's elephants turtles and giraffes, I had to get it costing only $10 !!
