MORE ?’s.

August 5, 2010 | Posted by Chelsey

1. do you color your hair?

I do color my hair. The problem is: I get so bored because it takes like 3 hours… and I haven’t done since January!

2. would you consider yourself green?

I say I’m green-ish. I don’t use cloth diapers, but I use Nature Babycare. I try to recycle everything I can, but sometimes I don’t get it all recycled. I don’t compost, but I’d like to.

3. will you get ruari’s ear’s pierced?
I’ve been thinking about it. But, I don’t want to hurt her. 🙁

4. do you like being a SAHM?

Sometimes…. A lot of the time I go crazy. I would like a day or two of me time. Yes…. that would be lovely.

5. what was your first concert?
The Cranberries. I think I was in 4th Grade.

Niki @ Que Sera Sera:

What is the most daring thing you have ever done?
Hmmm, I don’t know. I jumped off a 30 ft. cliff into the water. I’m terrified of heights. I’ll NEVER do it again.

And does Rauri’s sweet little name have anything to do with Gilmore Girls?
Yes it does! I got it from the Gilmore Girls. 😀 Poor child.

Mumma Cheeks asked:

Besides blogging how do you like to spend your “mummy time?”
I like paper crafting, photography, hanging with my girlfriends and their babies… If someone is babysitting I like to lay down without moving and space out!

What did you do before you were a SAHM?
Well, I went to school for interior design… didn’t do anything with it. I worked and still work for Anthropologie. Love that store! I only do about 5 hours a week now.

Any tips for new bloggers?
Take your own photos. I try to make at least 90% of my photos to be taken by me! Visit other blogs. No one knows you’re out there if you don’t visit. Speaking of… I’m way behind on my blog visiting! I feel like I’m missing everything! Busy family week. 🙂

More questions to be answered… 😀 I’m off to play with my family!

Thursday’s Three: Messy baby

August 5, 2010 | Posted by Chelsey

{Messy child}

This weeks Thursday’s Three is inspired by my messy baby!!! She is such a mess.

1) This messy wet bag is lined with waterproof material. Perfect for those baby poo explosions we always seem to have when we’re OUT of the house! Another great thing about this: Machine washable! I HATE using plastic bags for these messes, because they just get thrown away. But, I can just throw this in the wash with her poopy clothes! Please check out Golly Gee Baby on Etsy.

2) I’ll need another bib to go with that messy baby. These little Etsy bibs are pretty dang cute. I love the fabrics! AND: how could you not love that little messy baby face?! Check out Rocker Bye Baby on Etsy.

3) AND of course. With every messy baby, you need a stain remover. Oxiclean has saved many of my favorite shirts from the orangey baby poo stains. I totally recommend it! You can find Oxiclean on Amazon.

Have a VERY lovely Thursday! I’m off to answer a few of those questions from yesterday!
And, don’t forget that TODAY is the last day to enter the photo challenge: Buddies.

I want.

August 3, 2010 | Posted by Chelsey

I’ve been working hard to get Ruari’s room all finished and cute. But, all this work makes me want to spruce up my OWN room! I found a few bedroom furniture sets that I would LOVE to have for my room….

So, CSN (I’m sure you’ve seen them around the bloggy world) have about 1.5.2.3 million different kinds of bedroom sets… I think I’ll take this one. 🙂 Under bed storage is important for a home that was NOT built with closets….

I’ll take these sheets from Anthroplogie:

AND, then this bedding from Anthropologie:

And, I’ll go ahead and take this little dresser from Anthropologie while I’m at it!

I’m just dreaming here….

Do you ever…

August 3, 2010 | Posted by Chelsey

{Ruari 7.5 months}

Do you ever pick up your baby/kid and start to tear-up because they are so awesome? I do. Little Miss Ruari is so sweet. Sometimes it makes me tear-up because I can’t believe we created her! I love her so much. Even when she’s screaming. 😀 Well, I love her more AFTER the screaming.

And, please don’t forget to vote for me! 🙂 I’d love to make it to the final 5 AND you can vote EVERY day through Friday!!! Still can’t tell you which one is mine. 🙂
