More KCWC clothes!! (I've got more coming, too...I may (a teensy bit) be going through my nesting phase....)I also whipped up some teeny tiny baby circle skirts yesterday....These took hardly any time at all.

Finally, it's here....the moment you've all been waiting for! haha...ok maybe the moment I've been waiting for! The nursery reveal!

wood & wire display frame
August 27, 2012 By 20 Comments
I've been working on this little wire frame for the nursery off and on for like a month-it turned into one of those projects, ya know? Every little step turned into an ordeal...ok maybe not that bad, and maybe it really was my pregnant back aches from leaning over to paint it...haha! Either way it turned out just how I imagined so all's well that … [Read more...]

I know, I know! It's been forever since I did an outfit post...being pregnant sure put a halt to that. ;) Never fear-I'm ba-ack! (and with a bump) It's been exhausting so far (the pregnancy, not getting dressed, although some days....), so you may get more of the iphone variety pics in the mirror like you see farther down. Please forgive me. ;) … [Read more...]

I love the look of headbands...but since I'm pretty sure Sadie and Charlotte's 90th percentile-sized heads come from me, they're not always comfortable. The things we women do for fashion eh? Or laziness...because I didn't want to do my bangs. Tank: Downeast-$5 Top: Kohls-gifted Cardi: thrifted-$5 Jeans: gifted Shoes: Old Navy-$10 Headband: … [Read more...]
