Nursery Sneak Peek

Well it was a busy weekend around here guys.  We started setting up the nursery!  Here's a little sneak peek for you.  I decided to set a bed up in there so I could have a place to rest in the middle of the night and if my comes to stay and help at all.  Remember our original plan for nursery?  Well I ended up ditching that color scheme and going for an all white theme with pops of bright, neon like colors and touches of beige linen.  So far I love it, what's set of it so far anyhow.  And because of my snoring escapades, Art was able to take advantage of the set up bed last night, so it's already getting some good use!

I've still been keeping up with the big belly project, so if you're on Instagram, follow along @fourflights!  Saturday night big belly was brewing beer, totally appropriate right?  We celebrated a friend's 40th birthday and had a great time at a local brew house, making pretzels and drinking small batch brew (small brew soda for me, the root beer was fantastic!).  

Friday night big belly took it easy though and hung out at our local concert in the park.  I just chilled while the men chased the kids around.  Perfection.  I'm going to miss being able to use the pregnancy card in situations like these ;)

In other areas on the web, I'm baring my soul, or my cover up anyhow, and showing off big belly in a bikini!  Say what?!?  Yes, I was shy at first, but there's really no reason pregnant gals can't rock the bikini too.  After all, when else are you not going to worry about whether your abs are rock hard or not?  It's liberating I tell ya.  

 I got a little crafty this past week too, and shared this DIY for a no sew leather pouch. 

And I also shared the most exciting news I've heard since, since, I don't know when...it's that exciting though!  Neiman Marcus and Target holiday gift collaboration yo!  Read more about here.

And I'm doing lots of baby and pregnancy journaling over on Disney Baby.  Last week I shared how we managed to gobble down dinner with a newborn during the dreaded "witching hour".

I'm splurging a bit on the non-essentials this time around.  Read here to see what those splurges are.

The best thing I ever did as a new mom was join a mom's group.  Read why here.

And lastly, the top 10 things I look forward to after pregnancy.  Number 7?  Walking like a lady instead of a duck again.

I don't want to say much about the last 2 days of school after I wrote this post, because I don't want to jinx anything, but I promise to share later in the week how things are going and our progress.  Thank you so, so much for all your kind and encouraging words.  They meant so much to me, especially hearing about all the sensitive boys!

I'm BAACK!

We're back from an amazing, yet tiring, 5 day road trip up to June Lake.  It had been almost 15 years since I had visited the area and I forgot just how beautiful it was and how much there is to do there.  I'm sorting through the hundreds of pictures we took while there, and will do a proper post most likely next Monday, similar to the one we did after our Grand Canyon trip.  Here in Southern California I feel like June Lake is one of those hidden gems that not a lot of people know about, or know enough about to visit, so I thought I'd share what and why we love this area so much.  I'm glad we got rekindled with it after so many years.  We all had a great time and can't wait to go back.

Tomorrow I'll be posting a big, HUGE announcement I'm really excited about, involving Pinterest, crafts and mingling with other bloggers, so stay tuned for that.  And over at Oh Sweet Joy's blog, you can enter to win a Neon gift bundle, but only by becoming a Facebook page fan.  Go visit to get more details.  And lastly, if you'd like to see what the Big Belly Project is all about, follow me on Instagram @fourflights.  We'll be busy for the next 5 weeks!
