finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
I’m pretty tickled by all of you awesome advice about baby necessities. I would much rather rely on your mama wisdom instead of the registry recommendations. Keep the ideas coming as I’m going to start a “Mama Must Haves” section to feature things you suggest. If you have an idea, just e-mail me here!
Minus the random giraffe, isn’t this a super sweet nursery set? In the very least I might order the changing table cover.
See the orange and purple “ExpectNet.com” button to the right?You should click it … you can enter your guess on boy/girl, birthday, weight, height, and birth time. After the birth you just might be announced the winner! How cool would that be?

Yesterday we drove out to Beaverton to check out the highly recommended baby store, Segal’s. They had an amazing showroom of nursery furniture, bedding, supplies, clothes, strollers, and our sought after item … carseats.

The movie, Babies, comes out tomorrow. So excited to see it … hoping to be inspired by some other country’s traditions and such!

Let me tell you, carseat shopping is a whole new ball game! Here is a synopsis of what I have gathered from my sis and the Andaluz Family Yahoo […]
