Trendy Cactus LOVE + Giveaway

If you asked my former kindergarten students what my favorite word is, I bet most of them would remember that it's "love." Snagging this precious onesie from Trendy Cactus was a no brainer. My favorite word, the floral wreath, the script! I feel like I should have it as a print in Nancy's nursery too! Love.

My other favorite picks from the shop include bright popsicles, a personalized name wreath, and crazy hair [don't care]. No babies needing onesies? You can order toddler shirts for your bigger littles as well. :)

I Heart | The Crochet Envy

I might not have crib sheets yet, but I do have Nancy Hope's first blanket. And you know what? I think it's perfect.

Call me craycray, but I've been daydreaming of a nursery with a crochet heart blanket since, well, very specifically: this pin, pre-pregnancy, 32 weeks ago (Pinterest told me that little detail). My daydream came true when I happened upon the loveliest brand new little shop on Etsy, The Crochet Envy.

Swoon. This beautiful crochet detail. Handmade with love. Jessica, The Crochet Envy's shop owner, is the sweetest and such a delight to work with. She let me approve the yarn colors once the spools she ordered for me arrived; furthermore, she sent me sneak peek pictures on Instagram the whole way through my ordering process! The entire experience felt exceptionally personal and customized.

In the land of Etsy where handmade anything is beautifully aplenty, The Crochet Envy specifically caught my eye because of the option to add softer, more baby friendly minky fabric on the back of the blanket. I can't imagine anything more snuggly for my baby girl! I chose the light pink rose swirl fabric backing, but there are a plethora of different texture and color options from which you can choose. The selection is amazing.

Wouldn't this make a sweet Valentine surprise for your babe or a mama-to-be? You can order the blanket in any yarn/minky color combination you wish! And (!!)  The Crochet Envy is exclusively offering Cheers Y'all readers free shipping with code CHEERSYALL. Enjoy shopping small and supporting handmade! :)

Oh, and just so we're clear, this is just the beginning of pictures you will see with this blanket. Just you wait until Nancy comes and I can photoshoot it up with my little babe and my new most favorite blanket of all time!

Closing Day!...Gift To Myself

It's a very exciting day for my little family...it's closing day! We close on our first home today, and I think we're still pinching ourselves. This crazy dream of a story actually becomes reality today! Thank you, Lord Jesus!!!

I treated myself to a little something before closing to celebrate our first home, and I wanted to share it with y'all!

Insert Midwest Modern Girl Etsy Shop. It's the cutest shop that had exactly what I was looking for in price, customization, and customer service!

I meeeaaan....eeeeeeeee! I'm obsessed. The laurel...the monogram H...our new address! I ripped open my box (and some precious packaging) to find this delightful little thing.

Mark was even genuinely pleased with it as I was ooooh-ing and aaah-ing when he walked in the door from work. Seeing our new address on the stamp looking all official was a happy moment for both of us.

I can't speak highly enough of Danielle, the shop owner. She customized the address exactly how I wanted it to look (even down to the dots between the "more spread out looking" zip code that I requested). And instead of sending me one proof option, she sent me a proof with THREE different font options to choose from! I couldn't have asked for a better customer service.

I loved her prices, the included shipping, and the fact that the stamps are rubber instead of self inking. I want to be able to pick the color of my ink based on the time of year or who I'm sending the letter to. Think: pink for girlfriends, gold/silver for fabulousness, red for Christmas, etc.

Be sure to check out her shop!!! She has various other address stamps as well as custom stationary, cards, and more. AND she is giving a 10% discount to you lovely Cheers Y'all readers from now until May 31st! Just use the code CHEERS10 at checkout. YAY!
