Edna mae's Modern baby books!

I looked long and hard for a baby book for Smith.  I knew that with his adoption his book needed to be custom.  So I started looking on Etsy.  I came across Edna Mae's Modern Baby Books and I was in love :) I loved everything about them!

This is the one we chose.

But all the others are adorable!

This was another option...

but the MR. wanted the blue one.  

These baby books have beautifully printed pages and pretty much space for anything.  She even has an adoption package!  I was very excited about this part.  Anyway, just wanted to share a great place to get a baby book if you're on the hunt!  

Hilton Head

This week we were in Hilton Head for MR.P's work.  It's been a nice little break from reality :)  Smith did great!  He traveled well and adjusted great to a new setting!  So proud of little man.  We took him to the beach for a little while and he loved it!

It was a little cold and windy, so we had to bundle the little man up.    

Can't wait for more family vacations!! 

Kitchen Drapes

I mentioned the other day that I used some left over fabric from our kitchen drapes to make new pillows.  Well, I never shared the pics of the new drapes!  

Our kitchen has a window that looks out to our neighbors.  So the window badly needed something.  I really wanted to make a roman shade, but to be honest I was  a little intimidated to try it.  I saw tons of tutorials, but none of them really spoke to me.  So, I decided to just do some regular panels using clips at the top.  

See, look how plain everything looks.  I bought a tension rod  which made this project way easier.  Then I bought some curtain clips.  I feel like curtain clips are better than making a slot (not sure what you really call it) for the rod to go through.  Then I used my favorite no sew tape and just made straight panels.  I think they turned out ok ;)

They really help punch up the kitchen.  I still wish I had taken the plunge and made a roman shade, but oh well!  I happened to make these the Saturday before the little man decided to arrive.  Just in time!

Today MR.P is at the Masters.  He is absolutely, ridiculously excited!  I am excited for him too!!  This is his first time there.  Hope he gets a lot more opportunities to visit.  Anyway, Smith and I are headed there later today to pick him up.  Then we are headed to the beach!  MR.P is going for work, but Smith and I are going to keep him company :)  We tried his bathing suit on yesterday to make sure it fit ;)

It's a tiny bit big, but he doesn't mind.  He said he needs some room to grow this summer :)
