Night Stand "Do Over"

I recently refinished a night stand that was on its way to the curb for trash pick up. I hated it and had my eye on it for a long time..just waiting for the right time to throw it away. Then I wondered what it would look like if I removed all the hardware, put new knobs on it, stripped off the paint and sanded the top.



It created a small mess...here is what it looked like after I sanded the paint off the top, stripped off some of the paint and started priming it.....


After I repainted it white and stained the top black, I distressed it with a sand block to give it an old country/vintage look.

For now, its in Layla's Room.

Layla Belle is 3 months old today

Phewww...what a looong three months!

• Layla weighs 10 lbs
• Still wearing 0-3 mo. clothing
  
• Eats every 1-2 hours, maybe 3 if we are really really lucky. She's a snacker.
  
• Still cries a lot...but is smiling more and giggles when you tickle her belly
• Starting to like her bouncy seat
• Likes chewing on her hand
• Spits up way too much
• Likes a pacifier sometimes
• Likes to spit her pacifier out a lot, we put it back in, sit down, she spits it out again, we get up and put it back in..and repeat a few 100 times. fun little game we don't like to play.
• Enjoys looking at her crib mobile and glow worm.
• Continues to prefer being held...all day if she had it her way.
  
• Wakes up several times per night to eat
  

Happy Valentines Day

Our Little Valentines


Preston sent me these flowers to work today.

Heart Shape Snacks

Wow...the things can you make from heart shaped cookie cutters! The pizza looked amazing gross. So we found other options for dinner! It's the thought that counts ; ) And Parker liked them.

From the Dogs..

Poor things....I made them wear these hearts. As you can see, they were not happy about it. I laugh every time I look at these pictures.

Layla 11 weeks old
