Great Baby Shower Gift

Great Baby Shower Gift - Love Chest

I apologize for not taking a good "before" shot of this chest. I don't know what I was thinking!! Anyway, I have been trying to think of a great baby shower gift that I can give people that has some good sentimental value and that can be really useful. I absolutely loved my rocking chair I got that was personalized for Avery, so when I had a baby gift to give, I thought I would recreate it. Well, Michaels didn't have any the day I went but they had this really great wooden chest and I thought, what a great idea!!

So, I got the colors of the nursery, painted it to match, and glued the "Love" sign on the front. Now, there is something of sentimental value to place all of those little things you want to keep for your baby. You know, Valentine's cards, Christmas cards, their coming home outfit. I tried keeping some of these things in a scrap book, but I can tell not everything is going to fit.

This was a very easy, inexpensive gift idea!!

I put a scrapbook and some baby books in this one. I love giving books as gifts too. I loved getting them from people during my showers!!

I know there are alot of things people think they need when they have a baby, but really, it's things like this that you really keep and that mean the most. All of the other stuff is so fleeting. You either use it for a couple of months or not at all. It's important, but I really wanted to find something that meant alot and was personalized to each baby. This one was for an Ellie. Hence the "E!"

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
