There are so many Christmas crafts roaming around the internet, but I must admit this garland has to be one of my favorites.

Lexy from the Proper Pinwheel is full of great DIY Christmas craft ideas, you must check them out.

Her reindeer garland is too cute not to share.

I just received the news that I get to leave the hospital at 34 weeks, which is December 19th!

Even though it is so close to Christmas, I am still planning on whipping up this adorable garland!

Head on over to Proper Pinwheel to get the free template and make your own!

I am starting to get really excited about the arrival of baby boy Oakey.

I never realized how fun shopping for a little boy can be.

I’ve come up with a few wish list items…

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11

I am pretty darn obsessed with the Etsy shop Little Hip Squeaks.

It has the most adorable blankets, like these colorful mustache baby blankets,

these darling chevron blankets,

and these neon and seafoam blankets!

I also wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some of these leggings…

I am hoping all you experienced boy Moms can help me out.

Are there any baby boy essentials that I must know about?

I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Two years ago I shared a tour of my Mom’s house decorated for Christmas.

I must admit, every year I get homesick around the holidays. 

My parents house is just so beautifully decorated during the holidays, who wouldn’t want to the spend them there?

You can see the rest of the tour here.

Do you have your holiday decor up yet?

Since I can’t decorate my own home this year, I am hoping to feature a few of your homes on my blog this holiday season.

Whether your a blogger or not, I want to see your decorated home!

Please submit photos of your home by emailing me, I can’t wait to see them!

Happy December!

Sorry about my lack of posts lately.

Things have gotten a little rough over here in hospital land.

Regular contractions have placed me on meds that make me feel real crummy, so chronic headaches have become my new BFF…making looking at the computer screen too long unbearable!

Hopefully next week will be better!

I promise to be back to normal blogging once this whole ordeal is over, so please be patient with me.

Until then, head on over to Livy Love Designs, she has the cutest prints in her shop right now, and I think they make the best Christmas gifts.
