I pulled these DIY wooden mountains down from Bohden’s nursery to use as décor for his bear birthday party. And then we used them for a sweet friend’s mountain-y bridal shower. And then we put them up as décor on the mantel for a Woodlands-y baby shower. At all three of these parties, people kept …

DIY wooden herb planter box
I don't love to cook (luckily I'm married to a guy who loves to cook!), but I do love having fresh herbs on hand- so many dishes are made better with a little fresh dill or a garnish of basil or a few sprigs of rosemary. I also like being able to bring said herbs into the house as the weather …
how to make the most beautiful felt flower garland
One of Piper's favorite pastimes is flipping through wedding magazines whilst sitting on a beach or lounging by a pool. She is her mama's daughter, that one. Last year, around the same time as her Unicorn Party, she became infatuated with the gorgeous, lush flower garlands that seem to be all the …
psalm 126:3 nursery decor
Our time in Saipan was C-R-A-Z-Y- and not just because of the roller coaster that is adoption, nor the two adoptions that fell through before Bohden. There were several typhoons while were there, including the one that plowed through the center of our little island, destroying our house and …

DIY flag banner- handmade nursery decor
This is one of my favorite projects from Bohden's little nursery nook. I shared it at Skip To My Lou awhile back as a handmade Christmas gift, and then promptly decided to keep it and hang it in the then-foster-nursery-turned-Bohden-nook. It's so easy to customize, works great in a nursery, and …
DIY pineapple pillow
One thing that I love about living in the tropics? It seems like an excuse for Pineapple Everything. Pineapple shirt? Of course! Pineapple snacks? Necessary. Of course the day would come when a pineapple pillow was requested, and affirmed. This little gem actually currently occupies space in …
how to make paper flowers (the easiest ever, 10 minute version)
You might've noticed that we have a thing for paper flowers around here. In fact, I pretty much have been in love with crepe paper flowers since I first saw them in Martha Stewart Weddings magazine ages ago. And paper flowers are often the perfect addition party decor (or even kids' room decor!). …
