So the nursery is in full swing. I posted before that the theme was going to be  “The Jungle Book”.  Not being able to find anything remotely usable for the nursery since everything Disney now consists of Frozen, Star Wars (crappy) and all things Marvel, I had to get a little creative. Luckily, myself sister is just as creative and gave me this idea. I found the prints I wanted on the internet. Printed them out. Found a box at work. Found some clear plastic film (also at work) and went to Michaels and purchased metallic Sharpie Paint pens.

1st step . Trace outline to plastic film using a medium to fine tip marker. 2nd step. Cut hole in box. 3rd step . Place iPhone w/flashight feature (any direct beam light source will work) in the very back of the box with light shining out.  4th step . Tape the image over the opening in the box. Moving the box back and forth should reduce or enlarge the image to the size you need. 5th step. Use chalk or a pencil to trace (lightly)  the image onto the wall. I would use a color dark enough to see depending on what your wall color is. I used a white pencil that would wipe off after the paint pen step.  6th step. Follow directions on the package and draw over your lines with the Sharpie. I used gold and silver because the walls were a dark green and blue.

As with most nurseries, furniture and layout will ensure that all your hard work can be seen. Lay out your floor plan and tape off on the wall how high you need the images to be on the wall and mark it all around the room with painters tape.

  Who doesn’t love sunglasses? I do. But who hates paying $70-$300 a pair for good ones? I do. There are plenty of knock offs. Cheap Amazon brands that don’t look like the photo when you finally get them and then you realize why they were $10.00. Well, if you love great products at great […]

It’s a serious question that I have not heard anyone asking. Daily briefings, death counts, more restrictions, more misinformation, no debate, and a flailing economy waiting on trillions from a disconnected representative government trying to save it by subsidizing it. I’m one of the lucky ones I guess? My job at this time has been […]

Guests on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood were often surprised to find that although Rogers was just as gentle and patient in life as on television, he was nevertheless a perfectionist who did not allow “shoddy” ad-libbing;[29] he believed that children were thoughtful people who deserved programming as good as anything produced for adults on television. (Wikipedia)   “Hello Neighbor” Anyone at least […]

I wrote what seems ages ago about a new skincare line that was coming. Well, one baby ago it came. It’s been out for about 6 months and I’ve been using it. It is amazing! It has a face cleansing gel, an eye serum (late nite puffiness) hydrating creme,  and a restoring serum. (Think botox […]

This will post at exactly 9:30 pm on September 2nd. This is the exact time you came to us exactly 1 year ago, my little boy. I knew my life would change the day we realized we were having you. All the planning and details were all for naught, because you came early. So small. […]

Last year at this time, I had a family member pass from a tragic accident. Shocking that her life (that she lived to the fullest) came to an abrupt and tragic end. We scurried around for weeks cleaning out her house. Looking at old memories and finding a lot of things I did not know. […]

9 Months old. I can’t believe it! Still tiny (1%) but everything is progressing right on point. Baby gates, baby proofing, school, college, and life, are the thoughts are flooding my mind. What do I tell him about his future? What direction do I point him in so he doesn’t make the same mistakes I […]
