My Sweet, Almost 4 Year Old

Filed Under: Family, Photography

I can not believe he will be 4 on February 29th, or 1 as some people say, since he is a leap day baby.

He had told me he wanted a pirate party. Now he has changed his mind. He wants another Monster Jam Party. I am looking for sponsors for his Birthday Bash. If you have a business or etsy shop and you have something to contribute to his party, let me know.  You can see what we did for Carsyn’s Birthday Bash last year. We also did giveaways for Dustyn’s Birthday last year.

How do you like the new design? I was inspired by Selena. I have had this silhouette done for awhile. Now I finally put it up. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget to come back on Monday for Project 366 Rewind.

Linking up with: Give Me Your Best Shot, PhotoStory Friday, Fabulous Friday, Favorite Photo Friday, Photo Friday,Shoot.Edit.Submit., Oh Snap!, and Look Whooooo’s Snapping.
 

I am going to be on Blog Lovin’ Now that Google Friend Connect will be going bye bye on wordpress blogs.

    Wow! A leap year baby! Cool! My hubby and I were just talking about this this past week. I'm scheduled for a c-section during the first week of March and we joked about if we had the baby on the 29th! haha! So what is blog lovin and what does it mean that WordPress won't be using Google friend connect? Sorry...I'm so out of the loop!

    January 6, 2012 at 11:59 pm

    He's getting so big! :D And I think monster trucks all the way. ;) Nice new design! I still like your blog name.. but I get that eventually the boys will grow up. Maybe you can use your real name as your address, but call your blog Naptime Momtog?

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
