Baby L's Nursery

We finally feel as ready as we can be for baby L to arrive! The nursery was a long project since the room was in bad shape. Thankfully my husband did a great job painting. Once all the correct furniture arrived, it all started to feel real. It took a little while for us to figure out how we wanted to organize the room, since it is not a HUGE room! We still have to hang everything on the walls, like some shelves and pictures. Also, once the baby arrives and we know the sex and reveal the name, I would like to put the name above the crib and maybe add in some more colors, depending on the sex.

So what do you think....



All in all, I am SOOOOOOO happy with the room and cannot wait for baby L to be able to enjoy!

Day 1: Operation Relax

After 3 weeks of my blood pressure being high, the doctor took me out of work and put me on modified bedrest :( I know to some people this may sound like a great time to just do nothing, but if you know me, I don't know how to do nothing. However, I will do what I have to do to make sure my baby and myself are healthy.

Since Baby L may arrive early, I really need to get my hospital bag packed and all the "must haves" for when the baby to come home. This means a trip to Babies R Us and Target. Not the most non-stressful shops but my trusty list should help make it a breeze!! I mean we cannot not have wipes :)

Featured Vendor - Libbie & Winston

This week's featured vendor Libbie & Winston I have a feeling I will be dealing a lot with once Baby L arrives. Libbie & Winston make the MOST adorable custom onsies, t-shirts, wall-art & more!! Coming from a fellow designer, you truly learn to appreciate certain vendors and the amazing work and products they create!

Here are a few of my favorites:


Q&A with Anna:

What motivated you to start Libbie Winston?

It really all started before I even knew I was pregnant! I was trying to find a way to tell my husband that I was pregnant {even though I wasn't yet} and decided I would use our dogs, Libbie and Winston, to tell him. I made "big brother/sister" shirts for the dogs with an iron-on transfer. Once I did actually find out I was pregnant, I couldn't keep the secret long enough from my husband to even put the shirts on the dogs, so we decided to use the shirts as a way to tell our parents. We took a cute picture of the dogs in the shirts, made a card on kodak and mailed it to them to announce my pregnancy. Fast-forward 9 months...I had also seen the 1-12 month stickers and wanted a way to document my baby's growth in the first year. I decided to make her onesies the same way I made the dog shirts, a few facebook posts and friend requests later, Libbie & Winston was born! Over the past few months the business has grown from just onesies, to kids shirts, wall art and more!

What exactly does Libbie Winston entail?

Libbie and Winston is about fun, customizable tees for babies and kids. Our 1-12 month onesie sets are the PERFECT baby shower gift! For our photo obsessed generation {me included!}, this set is such a fun way to document your baby's first year! The kids tees are great for birthdays, playdates, special moments, picture announcements - you get the idea - the possibilities are endless! Tees and onesies can be customized to suit you. Choose from any designs shown on facebook or email me if you have something else in mind. We also offer birth announcement wall hangings - a fun graphic piece to add to your child's nursery. Our "shhh" door tags {the newest item in the line} are the perfect way to keep the pesky delivery guys from waking your sleeping baby!


What advice do you give to other entrepreneurs?

Follow your dreams - as cliche as it sounds...it's so true!
What are 3 things people don't know about you?

I actually have my master's in interior design - but am a self-taught graphic designer. I'm a complete neat-freak and CANNOT stand clutter! I'm a reality TV junkie {love anything housewives or bachelorette}!
