Christmas wrapping and wishing...

I gave you Mr. B's Christmas wish list and now I am going to give you mine. I am not as good as him for wanting gifts that give back, but at least what I purchase for him will do so.

Every year I get a new planner that I live by, I have had one since I think 2000 or 2001 and have saved every single one. I wrote a little about how my planner is a place I save and note all important things here http://kokopelia.blogspot.com/2011/11/four.html
This is the one I want this year. Love it !


When I saw this on Etsy (where else) I was in love with it. I will have to get the hubby to buy this with me right there because he never set up a paypal. It's all good though. I love it.

These boots from Overstock. Love them !! They would look killer with the above jacket over a black dress. Awesome !

An old 6 window pane to hang above my couch in our living room. Yep this will replace our wedding picture. It's all good though we have others. I want this in it's exact old condition that I will add some extra touches to it. It's a secret till it's done =).

There is perfume I want from my favorite store and I'd love a new wallet. I am pretty particular with the kind so it's very hard for me to find one.
And, of course I want clothing, but I am VERY cheap now a days when it comes to them and most of what I like is vintage and from Etsy. So there is no surprise there if it's purchased for me. I think it's okay though, I am no longer little and do not need Christmas surprises anymore. However, my husband is good each year with some little surprise, even when I know all my gifts. So I am sure he will not disappoint this year.

So what's on your wish list?

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

A room fit for a beatiful baby boy....

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of some things. As I me

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of a yes and I immediately t
