Little Girls are so fun!

I have become an aunty over the last two years and I never knew I could love two little girls so much. Makenna is now 1 1/2 running around, starting to talk, and grabbing everything. My mom said Makenna is just like me when I was her age,which means she is a little ballbuster hahahaha! Mikaia is the sweatest thing in the whole world and pushing eight months! She is growing so fast and can tell already that, she is going to have a sweet and gentle spirit. My nieces inspired me to look at chic baby nurseries and did I found some great ones!!!! Enjoy!

I like to think Makenna (aka Munchkin) takes after me, she is a rascal and tends to make a mess! I haven't seen her running around yet which is going to be a trip, the last time I saw her see was crawling. Can't wait!!

It's crazy how much Mikaia (aka Mikaia Bear) reminds me of my little sister Meili when she was a Baby. Its so funny to see Mikaia's personality, she is quiet and sweet but I can tell her goofy side is coming out. Lets face it, Nate is her dad so how can she not be goofy and fun.

What is it about the color yellow that makes you want to smile? Especially this gold yellow! Love the flooring and so in love with the Gold decals!!!!

This room caught my eye because this room is so versatile for girls and boys! Again love the decals

Okay seriously, I can live in this room!!! Talk about a luxury nursery!!! So obsessed with the large mirror

Ummm, scrumptious chair!!

I know all these rooms are very girlie but this room was so fun I had to put in on my list. My favorite part is the letters on the wall!


I never really thought about nursery design because obviously I don't have kids!!!! My nieces make me want to create a nursery especially a little girls one. So all you moms go create a perfect space for your little ones. Sounds like so much fun!

Love is in the air!

It's always funny to see what everyone's take is on Valentines Day. Some people love Valentines Day and plan these spectacular days while others think its just another made up holiday to make more money on. Well I say its both! I love Valentines day because it gives you a chance to do something special for someone you care about boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, and anyone else. I love making homemade cards and little gifts for my girlfriends but yes it is a total money making day that can get pretty ridiculous. Any who, here are some great ideas that I LOVED and make me feel gitty inside.

Once again Martha has come up with some amazing ideas. I wonder how many people work on coming up with crafts and how awesome would it be to be those people? The pic on the top is handmade tie bag for traveling to keep your ties nice and neat. On the bottom is a homemade I LOVE YOU card.

I was browsing on one of my favorite sites etsy and found this Love and Sonet print that was just to adorable!

OK Martha seriously I LOVEEEEE these and are going to attempt to make these. These are conversation heart cookies packaged in cute bags that are sewen shut!

If you haven't noticed I'm little Miss. Fairytale Princess type of girl so naturally I let out a big, "ahhhh," when I saw this card on etsy.

I hope you enjoyed some of my favorite Valentines ideas but one last thing before I go.

My baby and I!

Recently Ryan and I have taken photos with a couple of very talented photographers we know. So here are the results of our photo shoots. Don't Laugh!!!!!!

These two are my favorite taken by Jimmy Pham.

The ones below are take by Dom Guerva also amazing!

Displaying Memories

Before digital cameras happened I feel like it was more normal to have your pictures developed and you had tons of photo albums laying around the house. Digital cameras changed everything, at least for me, all of my photos are on my computer and never looked at. I love looking at peoples photos as they share a timeline of the family, happy moments, and art. One of my favorite things is filling walls with lots of memories and mixing with different frames and art pieces. Here are some inspiring walls with tons of memories that I wanted to share.

Here's a tip for hanging many picture frames. Cut out paper the same size as the frames and place them on the wall before hammering nails all over the wall. Also be creative with your frames, different shapes, sizes, and textures always make it more original.

All I Want for Christmas is........

My boyfriend asked what I wanted for Christmas and honestly I didn't know what I wanted, which is not usual for me. I started window shopping on my favorite sites and here are my top picks of what I want for Christmas.

If you need to get inspired or just want to be around beautiful things head to Anthropologie, that store always rocks my world! I found this blue top awhile ago and fell in love with it, for some reason ruffles get me every time. The Champagne top is absolutely gorgeous! I went shopping with some friends and I was supposed to be "WINDOW SHOPPING!" I hate window shopping its overrated. Anyways in a moment of weakness I tried it on and became obsessed with its beautiful details and soft silk material! It took all the strength in me to put that shirt back on its hanger!

Alright, I know I say I love everything but I really LOVE this bag by Tory Burch . I mean anything Tory means its amazing, her shoes, bags, clothes, oh and the clutches are so adorable!

I was visiting my friend in New York and was excited to get inspired by her creative mind and the city. Surprise, surprise, when Martha Stewart inspired me on my trip. Tiff was so excited about this book and I now am excited about this book. So many crafts and ideas its like creative overload she is truly amazing or at least her staff is. I found it on amazon for $20 cheaper than the book stores so check them out.

Another book on my wish list is Kelly Wearstler, power house interior designer! She truly is amazing and her ideas are always so fresh!!!!! This is her new book and I can't wait to browse through it. Check out her other books too.

Check out this beauty!!!!! This fine piece is from Room service and will hopefully be a gracing its presence in my house one day!

Another great piece from Room Service is this lamp! I am so drawn to gold all the time!

So Santa this is my list! We shall see if I get any of this!!! hehehehe

Tis The Season To Be Jolly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!! I love how people are excited, families come together, baking is on everyones mind, Christmas lights go up, people are decorating their homes and Christmas movies are always on. This weekend my roommates and I are determined to decorate our apartment for Christmas so I tried to get inspired and here are some of my favorite decorations!

If I had a banzai tree I would so do this!

Love this room, it was in Elle Decor for their Christmas issue! So cozy and it's screaming Christmas!

Have the jar, all I need is the ornaments! Small ornaments was just added to my shopping list.

If my roommates let me this would be my Christmas tree!!!!! I'm not afraid, this is so amazing!!!

I hope you enjoyed the things I have found! All I want to do is decorate now and listen to my Hanson Christmas cd!

Oh the Holidays!!!!!

I love the holidays! I mean come on Christmas parties, turkey, presents, lots of wine, sweets, and the whole family is together, how can you not love the holidays? But my favorite thing about the holidays and I can't believe I'm going to admit this but I love all the packaging! I'm all about the bows and matching paper! I seriously can't get enough of it. Here are some of Martha Stewarts, wrapping and tag ideas and they all are so cute!!!!!!!!

I give my friends bake goods for Christmas gifts so I died when I saw this with these cute little wrapped packages! Love, Love, Love!!! These are my inspirations this year for my boxes of cookies.

Homemade tags with embossing! Genius, don't spend tons of money on tags when its so easy to do it yourself.

OK this is absolutely amazing, it's bio-degradable stuffing! Go green and its so unique, love the peanuts!

Who said that yarn is just for knitting and old ladies, this is amazing!

Felt and fabric acorns, leaves, and any other shape to make spice to your gift!

Ok add a little glam in your life with sparkly letters! So darling!!!

This is my absolute favorite idea for wrapping. Use fabric as wrapping paper!!!! I always have scraps of fabric and this is a perfect way to use extra strips of fabric.

I hope you loved these ideas as much as I did. All I want to do now is go and wrap something! I think I might work on making some sparkling letters. Hopefully they will turn out alright!

Be creative every day- Rae Rae
