Baby Gift {thanks pinterest!}

Some of our friends from church just announced that they are having a BABY…so, I made them this little gift to say, Congrats!

Isn’t this the most precious thing ever?

I’m in Love.

 

It makes a great gender-neutral gift since we don’t know if it’s a he or a she yet!

 

Annnd, this project was practically free since I had most materials on hand.  That makes it even better… ya know?!

 

Of course- I have Pinterest to thank for this one. Check out Shanty 2 Chic's original idea & tutorial HERE!

 

Thanks-Have a great week!

Puerto Rico Family Wedding

Geez. It’s been awhile.  As the summer sadly comes to an end, let me update you on our July & August adventures!

My cousin got married at the end of July….. in Puerto Rico!

So, we went.

Of course!

It. was. GORGEOUS.

Out & About

Hey Gang,

Just letting you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth!

I'm convinced we're world travelers over here. We arrived home from Puerto Rico last Monday and tomorrow we're taking off for San Fransisco with some friends from our church community group! It's been a fun couple weeks of summer vacation, but we'll be glad to be home for awhile when we get back.   Unfortunately, we haven't had any internet at our house this week.  Big time bummer. So, we've been making lots of visits to White Rock Coffee shop... which, we can't complain because we love their White Rocker Latte!

Can't wait to update you all on our trips when we return!

Have a great week. Be blessed!
