Front Door Decor

We are officially in the final countdown until we move into our home!! November 4th will be here very soon, and we can't wait!!! My mom has been so generous to let us stay here, and has been so helpful with Bear. I told her when we move out, she still has to come down and stay the night at least one day at week :)! I have been searching for a wreath for our front door which translates to; I've been a pinning machine and Etsy stalker. I found some I love at Horchow and Williams Sonoma but I'm thinking I should try to keep this wreath under $100.

I love Monograms, but then again what Southern girl doesn't love a good monogram. I love the simple letter monograms. Greg likes the single letter that is covered in yarn. Here is my problem, some of these Etsy wreaths look too homemade, that makes me not want to purchase them. I am debating, if I should try to make my own wreath, but have decided I would rather spend my time doing other things :). So, here are a few wreaths I'm thinking about:

I love this one, probably because I love polka dots and chevron. It's neutral which is perfect since our house is white. My only thing is, does it look too girly?

 I liked this one as well. You can customize your colors, which I love. I'm a sucker for green and navy. Those colors would be perfect against our white house, and fitting since they were our wedding colors as well :).

I love this one, it's simple and still charming. I just wonder if it's big enough? But I like the idea of just a simple chevron letter.

I like simplicity as well. I love boxwoods and have seen some wreaths in the shape of the square or rectangle with a letter in between. This would could be perfect against the white house and is simple and clean.

I love this Christsmas wreath,  but also thought this could be a good idea for an everyday wreath. I could put a chalkboard in the middle of an everyday wreath and either have our last name on the Chalkboard or change it based on the season or event.

I am on a hunt for the perfect wreath, because it sets the tone of the house in my opinion. I mean the wreath is the first thing they see before they enter your home. I think the wreath should be an extension of the decor inside the house. I know I'm probably spending too much time shopping for wreaths when there is cable to be set up, and painters to be scheduled. But, wreath hunting is more fun and you don't have to talk to anyone. If you have any good spots for wreaths please share.

Have a good week!

I'm Alive!!!

Do you ever have those weeks, where you feel like Jessie Spano in Saved By the Bell? You know the scene she is in her room having a breakdown, and saying, "There is never anytime." I've had a crazy last couple of weeks, hence no blogging!!! I don't care if you are SAHM or a working mom each job has their own set of challenges. 

We had a great weekend, my dad was in town so we spent the weekend hanging out with him. I love seeing my nephew and Bear interact. Coop is so in love with Bear, it's so cute!!

We only have a couple of weeks until we are in out house and we are soo ready!!! Get ready for some home posts :)! Bear is growing up so fast and gets more and more fun each day. My favorite time is in the am when he wakes up and I walk into his room and say, "Good Morning" and he gives you the biggest smile:). It melts my heart every time.

Here are a few pics of our lil man:

Picture day at school. Love this Rugby from Janie and Jack it has elbow patches which I'm a total sucker for :).

Wearing his Tiger gear to help cheer on his Daddy's favorite baseball team.

Bear has started to eat puffs, it's hilarious. He usually has more puffs on his chin than in his mouth:)! 

Not sure if you have heard of Peek Kids, but I'm obsessed with them! They are sold at Nordstrom and have their own stores. If you haven't shopped them before check them out at www.peekkids.com.

They are like an Anthropologie for little guys. Their boys stuff is so cute, which finding cute boys stuff can be challenging. I love that we have cooler weather here now. Bear's daddy loves jackets and has bought Bear quite a few jackets :)!!!

Hope everyone is having a good week!
