Some cute, home made baby stuff!

This past weekend this baby of ours got some presents! More presents!? That is what I was thinking! These were handmade presents from Aunt Jaclyn and Aunt Shannon. Handmade presents are the best.

Jaclyn has mastered the freezer paper stencil technique and decided to make us this awesome pillow!

So cute right?

 

She also made 7 onesies with the same freezer paper technique!  Here is a sneak peek of one:

MARIO! Isn't it awesome?!

To see the rest of the awesome little outfits you should head on over to her blog!

Through the Trees

Check out all her beautiful paintings as well!

She also painted this beautiful owl

It fits perfectly in the room! The colours are amazing and I left the perfect spot for it to go!
She also got us the cutest owl frame! Thanks Aunt Jaclyn!!!

Shannon also surprised us with this beautiful handmade blanket! Isn't it beautiful?! I love the colours as well! The baby is going to love it for sure!

This one too

 As well as a Sophie giraffe and some soothers! Thanks Aunt Shannon!

I can't wait for this baby to be here so he/she can see how loved they really are!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thanksgiving weekend was great! It went by a little too fast but that is usually how it goes!!!

Friday night we went for dinner to Mike's parents. It was great! Gramma came up for the weekend so it was nice to see her! 

Saturday I did some running around in town with my sister. We met up with mom and dad and then all 4 of us went out to lunch! On my way back home I stopped in at Mike's parents because Jaclyn had a gift for the baby!! (I will be posting about that this week for sure!) I then went home and made Spinach Artichoke dip and donut acorns!

 Then it was Thanksgiving dinner at Mike's parents. It was delicious! Shan also had a gift for the baby that you will see sometime this week!

Sunday, Mike and I went to the park where we had engagement photos done, as well as got married. Mike's sister, Jaclyn took some pictures of us and this big belly of mine! It was a lot of fun! I think we got some great shots! I can't wait to see them all. Here are a couple of sneak peeks!

Then it was time for Thanksgiving dinner at my Gramma's. It was a lot of fun. It is always great seeing family you haven't seen in a while!

 And today....well today is the day I clean the house, change the sheets, do some laundry and do some other things around the house! Maybe squeeze a little time in there to relax before work tomorrow??

It was a great weekend! I wish it didn't have to end...

Outdoor Fall Decorating!

Here is my outdoor decor for the year!

It was very windy when I took these..the corn was blowing all over the place and I ended up with makeup all down my face because my eyes were watering...hahahahha

Mike surprised me one day with the beautiful white pumpkin! I love white pumpkins! He also grabbed some hay and corn stalks for me too!

We got the gourds and orange pumpkins when we went to a local farm a couple weekends ago! Here is a shot of me, looking like I am stealing a pumpkin. hahhahahh I was 31 weeks. I am now 33 weeks!

and here is one of my Sadie girl...posing very nicely despite all the wind!

 I love fall!

I am very excited for Thanksgiving this weekend! It is one of my favourite holidays!!

P.S- I am going to show you guys the nursery next week! There have been a lot of people telling me they want to see it, and it is ALMOST done...so I think I will show you guys next week!!! It is obviously my new favourite room in the house!

Fall Decorating!

I love fall! I have had this decor up for a while now but forgot to post!! Sometimes I think it isn't up long enough since Halloween is right around the corner....sooo...I  need to put these up early so I can enjoy them! P.S Do you know what I am going to be for Halloween this year?! A PUMPKIN! hahahahah

I mostly decided to do the mantel this year and not go super crazy. I framed the printable I found HERE...that is my centerpiece. I added some leaves and gourds and of course the fall banner! I love it!

 I still brought out the fall pillow cover and added some stuff to the corner there.

 I love having a mantel. Especially in a corner. This is my favourite corner of the house mostly all year long...

I also added my GIVE THANKS blocks on the shelf over here...

 and added a fall-ish garland here, my acorn wreath and some acorns/gourds in the basket...I think this is what I did last year too.....(I went to go check but realized I didn't show you much of the fall decor....I had wedding brain, I am guessing that is why! hahahah)

 I added my FALL FRAMES on the window sill along with some colourful fall sticks.

 And of course have to update the chalkboard in the living room!

So, what do you think?! I love fall and all the pretty colours, so this makes me happy! I will post sometime this week about my outdoor decor too! Also you will probably see a Thanksgiving post in there too, since it is this weekend coming up. It is very early this year but I love Thanksgiving so I am not complaining!
