My Little Mocha - A journey of motherhood with our first baby girl!

When your little one is born life becomes brand new because you feel as though you have never lived before; at least not like this. It is truly the most satisfying, amazing journey that just can't be topped. Every day I am with her is the best day of my life. I am so proud to be my babies momma. There is nothing like the smile from a baby when they first wake up in the morning or the joy you feel when they laugh.

Kids Butterfly Birthday Party




You know Martha Stewart always has creative ideas up her sleeves. I just love how elegant and
precious this butterfly theme would be for a little girls birthday party.

Dreamy


This nursery is so adorable and I like that the blue offsets the abundance
of pink done by Tracy Garcia picture courtesy of Martha Stewart.


Fishy Friends


If you like what you see here are instructions to make me.
Start by blowing up each of your balloons with a hand pump. If you want
the balloons to float then you should blow up the large round center
balloon with helium and the other 3 balloons with a hand pump.

This is your chance to see what it's like to be a balloon sculpting clown by wrapping your
balloon around the "body" of the fish and twisting each end of the balloon separately and
then join them together and twist to make his tail. On this step you will first create his lips
and then his tail.


Front view of the fishy lips. After you have blown up each set of
water bomb balloons tie the two together at the ends and this will make up
his eyes and you just tuck them in between the set of balloons and they will
just rest there.

Here is your finished product with a little permanent marker completing
his eyes and I will proudly call him "Marvin!"

~Fishy fun~


A few fishy balloons from my daughters first birthday that I
made myself. You don't have to be a clown to make them they are
very simple to do.


Need a little inspiration for that special child's birthday party you are planning. I just fell in love with this....what kid doesn't like little sea creatures? So clever are these cupcakes and invitations from Imprintables.

Merry Christmas...I hope this is in my stocking xmas morning


Wouldn't this be an amazing stocking stuffer. I just love it!
Tricky Knits does some really amazing props for pictures as
well as the knit beanies.

This giraffe is all the rage!



Sophie the giraffe is the most talked about baby teether amongst mommies. I joined a mommies group and that is the first time I had ever heard about this lil' giraffe and certainly the first time I had ever seen one. Ever since that day I was introduced to this adorable teether I see it everywhere I go.

One of the group mom's was sharing a story about her days as a nanny, she kept thinking how ridiculous the family was to purchase this teether that retails $20+ for their baby... That is until she received one as a gift from the family for her newborn. She now swears by this little giraffe and her 5 month old daughter did too and realizes that you should never judge a book by its cover.

If babies did a "favorites" show like Oprah I know they would surely put this one at the top of the list. You can find this little guy at many stores including The Land of Nod.

So dreamy...baby wonderland



When I first saw this picture so many wonderful emotions overcame me.
It makes you feel like you are in wonderland, where fairies and gnomes live.
Trickyknits has done it again...such beautiful, warm baby caps. This
picture just evokes sweet feelings and gets the sugar plum fairies to dance
around your head.

What a peacock if I've ever seen one


This prop for newborn babies, created by Trickyknits, is unbelievable.
It literally took my breath away and I just had to share it with all
of you. Can you imagine having this artwork of your precious
newborn featured somewhere in your home? Just stunning.
It almost makes me want to have another baby just so
I can take pictures like this.

Cute little winter hats your kids will love




Keep babies ears nice warm this winter with a cute handmade creation from
sweetpeatoadtots! I fell in love with the little Christmas / Dr. Suess style hat
which would be fantastic for Christmas card pictures or a holiday party.
