Photo of the Day: The Month Flew By

It’s hard to believe my baby is already one month old. These past four weeks have flown by; it’s amazing how much life has changed. Caring for her day-to-day, it was hard to see how much she’s changed, until I went back and looked at her newborn photo below. I’m going to do these photos on a monthly basis to show how she grows.

Photos of the Day: The “Nesting” Phase

On By LindyIn home projects, photography

I’ve been going through the “nesting” phase of pregnancy for, oh, about the last 8 months. I’ve wanted to get lots of projects done around the house before the baby comes. (Just ask my poor husband.) In January, with the help of my parents, we painted all the trim and doors in our bedroom and master bathroom. Below are before, during, and after photos.

And a few weeks ago, my husband and I (mostly him) painted this bookshelf for the baby room. I forgot to take a before picture, but it was a cheap, fake wood bookshelf we bought on Craigslist for $15. I think it looks so cute now! Next up – we’re getting siding put on our house starting tomorrow. Baby K better not make an appearance until after they’re done banging on the side of our house!

We painted this little bookshelf white and tangerine for the baby room. We’ve already got a nice stock of books!
