Little Miss H Decor

Dear Pinterest you are killing me here!!!! Who knew decorating for a little girl would be so difficult?! I cannot for the life of me make up my mind when it comes to which "style" I favor! Do I go bright funky and modern?! Or stick to what I love and just DIY with all my thrift shop/vintage finds?! I stay up at night pinning ideas but I love both styles SO much it is going to be way too hard! I guess it comes down to deciding which way I want to go with the bedding. I have it narrowed down to 3 different sets. Wish me luck! Until i decide here is a little taste of what my pinterest boards consist of(mostly vintage at the moment)!

Kindergarten

I'll start by saying forgive my pregnant emotions. Tonight as I lay in bed all cuddled up with my babies, I can't help but cry. When do we realize that we take our babies for granted?! Everyday that I was annoyed with their fighting, fed up with them not listening, sticking them in front of tv because it keeps them occupied, took away moments and days that I will never get back. I'm laying here with my baby my 1st born, bawling because I cannot believe he is FIVE! Five, he started kindergarten yesterday and I'm so excited for him but also so sad that I am going to have to share him with the "real world." I'm sad that I wont get him all to myself. His 1st day was SO hard, he cried, I cried I was so close to grabbing his hand and telling him lets go home. It hurts my heart to see him growing up. I want my baby to stay my baby FOREVER. Today he was beyond excited to go to school which made my happy and sad all in one. Oh and another thing. I cut off his hair.. Yep I cried, yep he cried. everyone told me he would be picked on and made fun of so i decided we would start school with a shorter do and see how it goes. He said he is NEVER cutting it again he doesn't care what anyone says, and you know what I totally agree with him.

My Super Hero is FIVE!

Where oh where does the time go?!? I cannot believe MY BABY is five years old today! I cannot express how much this boy has changed my life. I have no idea where I would be in life if it wasn't for him changing my life! He amazes me more and more everyday, watching him grow has been the biggest achievement to date and the biggest heartache! Why must they grow up, especially so dang fast! I feel like I blinked and here he is a BIG BOY, starting kindergarten this year, being Mr. Independent, turning FIVE! I find so much joy in being his Mom. I love you Korbin to infinity and beyond, you never cease to amaze me, and I wish I could tuck you in my pocket and keep you my 1st little baby forever!

It's A.....................

Sleep: Psssh whats that?! I haven't been able to sleep comfortablely since the start! My ta-tas hurt, and now I already toss and turn trying to get comfy. Oh yea and drinking 2 plus bottles of water throughout the night makes the loo my BFF!

 

Maternity Clothes: Thank gosh for Summer time! Dresses have always been my fav and I think I will be living in Maxi's for the rest of the year!

Food cravings: PIZZZAAAA even through I know its gonna give me killer heart burn I still have to have it! I'm on a pizza like twice a week diet ;)
