Holiday Home Tour 2020: Nursery
John Woodford’s room might be my favorite because it gets the most extra special Christmas decor! Most of the ornaments on his tree are from my childhood and collected since (Disney, hallmark, vintage, etc.); all the stuffed animals in his teepee were mine when I was little; that little wreath on the teepee hung on the door in my parent’s first townhouse where I was born; and most of the books were mine too including his current fave “Christmas Mice” by Richard Scarry (which coincidentally was one of my favorites too).
Our Easy Baby Bedtime Routine
The first question everyone asks when you have a new baby is “Are you getting any sleep?” As first time parents, we really have no idea what we are doing most of the time, but I did know I wanted to have a some kind of plan when it came to a night time routine for sleeping. Well I did not take a single baby class and I didn’t read hardly any books, so I was off to a great start. The three books/programs that I did read and follow a bit were “Moms on Call”, Babywise, and Taking Cara Babies (on Instagram) and I think the routine we ended up with was kind of a combination of parts from all those programs.
2018 + Learning to Let it Go
I learned a lot in 2018 but the thing that stands out the most is learning to let go. I always want to do it all, myself, down to every detail. I want to have control + I think I’m the only person who can do it “right.” This year though, I was forced to let go a lot.
Our Fixer Upper: Nursery Updates
We have less than a month (hopefully) to go before Baby Woodford’s arrival which inspired some serious nesting and nursery work this past week! I dedicated two days to putting away and organizing 2 shower’s worth of gifts and hanging shelves, artwork, curtains, and decor. We also got our overhead light installed this week, so I finally have some light in here when it’s dark out! I feel so relieved that the bulk of decorating and prep in here in complete now and I only really have a few finishing touches left which I should be able to work on this week.
