After having two little girls' I seriously had SO much fun dreaming up ideas for a little boys' nursery. And what was even more fun bringing some of those ideas to life! The pallet wall is most definitely my favorite feature in the room and I am so grateful to Mr. Pack for making my crazy design dreams come to life! He's truly the best and super patient :)</div>

All of the pallet wood and apple crates came from the old Pack Fruit Farm in Alpine, UT. I love the rustic feel that it brings to the room and it's neat to have a little bit of Pack heritage too! The crib was used for both the girls' and I just refinished it with some chalk paint in the perfect baby blue.</div>

The picture and dresser were in Mr. Pack's room all growing up. I love having some pieces from his childhood to share and grow with Yale. I reframed the picture in a barn wood frame that I picked up at Hobby Lobby. (And on the dresser, part of one of the knobs is missing and I'm on the hunt to try and find something to fix it instead of having to replace all the hardware.) </div>

TMI?? I didn't know what it was, other than I knew I wasn't peeing my pants all the time, haha! Anyway, we ended up going to the hospital just to make sure it wasn't amniotic fluid. They monitored him for a while, checked everything out, ran a bunch of tests and everything looked good and after a few hours we went home. The next day they had me go and get my fluid levels checked just to be sure he had enough and those too looked great. I got to sneak a peek a baby boy too so that was fun! And the leaking stopped after a few weeks and we still don't know what was causing it. Really weird! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lXmjFFl1lLI/VULzMxmxtzI/AAAAAAAAETo/T9xOFjR5Fek/s640/blogger-image-1989994007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lXmjFFl1lLI/VULzMxmxtzI/AAAAAAAAETo/T9xOFjR5Fek/s640/blogger-image-1989994007.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CEieEgZoTRY/VULzSCXYZcI/AAAAAAAAET4/rnMgU1KTGPU/s640/blogger-image--692587552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CEieEgZoTRY/VULzSCXYZcI/AAAAAAAAET4/rnMgU1KTGPU/s640/blogger-image--692587552.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-px_iR3ePrp8/VULzJR-C8II/AAAAAAAAETg/29dgVXjM8js/s640/blogger-image-1924514833.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-px_iR3ePrp8/VULzJR-C8II/AAAAAAAAETg/29dgVXjM8js/s640/blogger-image-1924514833.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oLhsUhb6V2A/VULzQUwPsPI/AAAAAAAAETw/ZUbtDptPA6s/s640/blogger-image--40145791.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-oLhsUhb6V2A/VULzQUwPsPI/AAAAAAAAETw/ZUbtDptPA6s/s640/blogger-image--40145791.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pregnancy Highlights:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">How Far Along: 30 weeks </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Size of baby: Baby is the size of a large cabbage</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Maternity Clothes: I have two pairs of maternity pants that I wear.

<div style="color: #2e0000; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;">
How Far Along: 12 weeks</div>

<div style="color: #2e0000; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;">
Maternity Clothes: Not yet. But I sure do like my stretchy pants :)</div>
<div style="color: #2e0000; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;">
Gender: We won't know until 16 weeks. I feel like it's another girl but I guess we'll see :)</div>
<div style="color: #2e0000; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;">
Movement: Not yet, but can't wait!</div>
<div style="color: #2e0000; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;">
Sleep: Sleeping awful. I wake up several times a night to use the bathroom and can never fall back asleep.</div>

<div style="color: #2e0000; font-family: 'Century Gothic'; line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: center;">
Symptoms: I am finally starting to feel a little better as far as nausea goes and am down to only 1 Zofran a day (started out with 2 Zofran during the day and a Phenergan at night) so yay! I am still feeling super tired though and love a good afternoon nap. </div>

Enjoy! <br />
<br />
Okay, okay, so technically it's a laundry <span style="font-style: italic;">closet</span> but room just sounds nicer. I can't wait to have a laundry <span style="font-style: italic;">room</span> someday...but you get what you get and you don't throw a fit, right?<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xiy2Q3Bioik/TajiPrCi8bI/AAAAAAAABUY/D8d-b3KP940/s1600/IMG_2522.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595971295887159730" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xiy2Q3Bioik/TajiPrCi8bI/AAAAAAAABUY/D8d-b3KP940/s640/IMG_2522.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="426" /></a>Anyway,
I was really excited to do some no cost decorating and prove to Sean
that you don't have to spend any money to improve things and make them
prettier. I knew that I would have to start <span style="font-size: 78%;">small</span>
so I took one look at my laundry closet and definitely saw that it
needed a re-do. It was dusty and full of boxes and junk. NOT very
pretty hence the reason for no before pictures...too <span style="font-size: 130%; font-weight: bold;">embarrassing</span>!
In order to do this I basically went around my house and found a bunch
of things that I already had and that were looking to be repurposed.
Here's what I found:<br />
<ul>
<li>the 3 glass jars</li>
<li>the washboard</li>
<li>the clothespins</li>
<li>the white wicker thing?</li>
<li>the picture frame</li>
<li>the wreath</li>
<li>the tin bucket</li>
<li>an old canvas</li>
<li>some leftover burlap from anther project</li>
</ul>
Quite
a bit of stuff, right? And I know that you're asking yourself, "Who has
a washboard just lying around?!" Umm...Me. I swear.<br />
<br />
After that I knew that I wanted to add some type of "laundry art" that I could just print off. This lead me to <a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/" style="color: #ffcccc;">The Graphics Fairy</a>.
Holy cow! I was instantly obsessed with all the images she has!
You'll be lucky to find something that she doesn't have. If you need
instant art for your home definitely take a look! There I found the
cute laundry brushes that I put into the small frame. Cute <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> free? I'll take it!<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOmaLqKqsO0/Taji4Z35kyI/AAAAAAAABUg/-191D2qjnO8/s1600/IMG_2530.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595971995653739298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOmaLqKqsO0/Taji4Z35kyI/AAAAAAAABUg/-191D2qjnO8/s400/IMG_2530.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 267px;" /></a>Later on I had an idea to cover an old canvas with burlap and hang a picture from it. I found the blue Laundry print off of <a href="http://sprik.blogspot.com/2010/08/define-space.html" style="color: #ffcccc;">Sprik Space</a>.
She recreated a print that I have always loved from Ballard Designs and
I got it for free! SCORE! She has tons of different colors too which
makes it even better! Check out her other cute free printables too!<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4QUWiZtOlUs/TajjLYujLbI/AAAAAAAABUo/lrxAU-3jKv0/s1600/IMG_2539.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595972321763601842" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4QUWiZtOlUs/TajjLYujLbI/AAAAAAAABUo/lrxAU-3jKv0/s400/IMG_2539.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 267px;" /></a>So after I got all of this stuff together I knew that the space needed <span style="font-style: italic;">more</span>.
It was just lacking. In comes the $$. Dang it! Oh well. I had seen
on a couple of blogs some really cool bottles and I knew just the place I
could find them! Sunflower Market! They have tons of different yummy
sparkling lemonades and they are around $3 a piece. I of course needed 3
so there went $10. We drank up and then the Mr. helped take off the
labels.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-funm_tHJWzk/TajjzrJp-xI/AAAAAAAABUw/AzzDPl0qGFc/s1600/IMG_2529.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595973013903899410" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-funm_tHJWzk/TajjzrJp-xI/AAAAAAAABUw/AzzDPl0qGFc/s400/IMG_2529.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>The room was <span style="font-style: italic;">almost</span>
complete. It needed something special. It needed a SIGN. If you have
been in my house you know that I really like SIGN's. I can't help it.
They make me happy. So off Hattie and I went to SIGN Heaven <span style="font-size: 78%;">(Hobby Lobby)</span>
and we found the perfect one! And guess what?! It was the last one
left and 50% off! BOOYA! $3.75 for that little beauty and the room
err...I mean closet was D-O-N-E.<br />

Haha!<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FmBg5gq3JDE/TajpQXnXmiI/AAAAAAAABVQ/NG5Ku51Ccb0/s1600/IMG_2519.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595979004434160162" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FmBg5gq3JDE/TajpQXnXmiI/AAAAAAAABVQ/NG5Ku51Ccb0/s400/IMG_2519.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>So
no, I did not succeed in NO cost decorating but in our house if it's
$20 or less it's considered nothing (because when can you <span style="font-weight: bold;">EVER</span> find anything that is less than $20 these days?! Seriously.) So there :)<br />

So today I am just going to blog about something easy peasy: my favorite baby products. I did <a href="http://seanplusalexa.blogspot.com/2011/04/lifesavers-baby-products.html" target="_blank">this</a> blog post after I had Hattie and I still use and recommend all of those things too. These are just some new faves I've found with baby number two :) <br />
<br />
These are in no particular order other than how they pop into my head, ha!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

So two of my sisters-in-law used these with their babies and recommended I try them with Holden. Let me tell you, if you want some good rest during the night, buy one of these! Holden L.O.V.E.S this thing and she has slept like a champ (we are talking 6-8 hours here!) since she came home from the hospital. It keeps her warm and cozy all night and prevents her from having the startle reflex that wakes so many babes up. It is awesome!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Product #2 <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1068012777">Gumdrop Paci's and Paci Clips</a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yep, we call them paci's (as in short for pacifier) here at The Pack Clan :) Hattie took a paci for a little while and I knew that I wanted Holden to do the same. When she was first born she really liked the green hospital one (you know, the massive green sucker fish type) so I knew that the Gumdrop paci's would be great for her. They are similar to the green beauty's but are scaled down in size (so they can breathe, ha!), come in cute colors, and they even have yummy scented ones like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pack-GumDrop-Newborn-Pacifier-Vanilla/dp/B003DC9UEO/ref=sr_1_9?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1342727784&sr=1-9&keywords=gumdrop+pacifier" target="_blank">vanilla</a>! How cool is that?! Yeah, get some!<br />
<br />
When I had Hattie I was <i>way</i> more into fashion than function and there was no way I would <i>EVER </i>put a paci clip on those cute clothes of hers! How <i>embarrassing</i> right?! Well, I grew up a little and realized that I was dumb and function can be soooo nice! Because Holden loves her paci so much we need it close by at all times. In comes the paci clip. It keeps her paci with her wherever she goes and helps prevent many of those unwanted meltdowns in Target. Not to mention that it keeps her paci nice and clean because it's not falling on the ground every .05 seconds and its not stuck at the bottom of the diaper bag. Whoever invented this $5 piece of goodness deserves 1,000 hugs!<br />

<br />
I received this as a gift from a friend at work and I was super excited about it from the start! For one, I love that it is small and compact and can easily be put away when not in use; it literally folds in half! We recently took it with us on a trip and it fit great in our trunk because it lays flat and we could put our luggage on top of it with no problem. Holden has been sleeping in this since day one and always seems so snug. I like that it keeps her propped up yet her head is secure in the little headrest. I keep it right by my side of the bed and if she starts to stir I can just rock her back to sleep. Yep, that's right, it even rocks! It's like the modern day bassinet and it is wonderful!<br />

With Hattie it was Huggies or bust. But someone gave us a pack of these puppies for Holden and I was sold! The newborn size has this miracle mesh liner that keeps all the mess in one place. With how many gazillion diapers you change with a newborn it's no fun having to wash all their little stained clothes too. Seriously I can't even tell you how impressed I was with these diapers and I wish that the mesh liner was in all Pampers diapers because it works so well. Try these for yourself and I swear you won't be disappointed--it's all about the mesh and not the mess, ha!</div>

If you shop at Costco then you know, just like anything else that you buy there, these wipes are BIG!<br />
I've tried all different wipes from the WalMart brand to Pampers and these are my all time favorite. They aren't super thick so you can take a lot with you on the go in your little wipes case. But like I said, they are large in size so often times you can clean up baby's mess with only having to use one wipe, instead of 20 like some other wipes that are only the size of 1/2 a square of toilet paper. They are also very soft and scent free so I have no problem wiping little noses or faces with them too. They also come in to-go packs with the pop-up lid thing so you can throw a pack in your car and wipe down your dash with them too--like I do, ha!<br />

If you have been on the fence about getting one of these bags, seriously, just get one. I'm not even embarrassed to say that I have 6 of these bags (4 different types/styles) because they are the best around. They come in the most beautiful patterns and lush fabrics and that's not even the best part. PPB has, without a doubt, mastered the art of the diaper bag. Their bags are spacious, have pockets galore for all of your needs (and then some!), have a matching diaper pad and wipes case, and most styles even come with stroller clips and backpack straps for hands-free mobility! I can fit absolutely everything that both the girls' and I need in these bags--diapers, wipes, blankets, outfits, nursing cover, burp rags, medicine, bows, wallet, phone, bottles, Kleenex, and a mini cosmetic bag. I literally no longer carry a purse because these look so chic and it just doubles as a purse for me. I can't say enough about them! Now, I know they are a bit pricey, so here's the best part, they do an online outlet sale twice a year! Woot! Woot! Just go to their <a href="http://www.petunia.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and sign up for their email alerts so that you will be notified of the next sale! There. Now you don't have any excuse not to get one. Or two. Or six, ha! </div>

Linking up with Kelly's Korner again today to show you the girls' shabby chic bathroom. I recently changed some things up in here around the same time that I was updating the girls' bedroom. I really like it because it matches the theme of their room perfectly so everything flows really nicely. Enjoy!<br />

<br />
Considering
this was a no cost update I am pretty happy with the end result. I am
on the lookout for the perfect wreath/plate/mirror/something round that I
can hang underneath the shelves above the toilet but haven't had any
luck. I also need to update the bath pictures of Hattie and add one of Holden. Other than that I think this room is complete!<br />

Today's tour will be of the girls' room. We live in a two-bedroom townhouse so our girls, Hattie and Holden, get to share a room! I hope they will always want to share even when we have a bigger place, we will see :) This is probably my favorite room in the house because I LOVE all things girly! This space was a lot of fun for me to decorate for my two precious girls!<br />

He finally did it! He <b>GRADUATED</b>!!! Woot! Woot! We are so thrilled that he's done and couldn't be more proud of him. After a two-year hiatus, getting married, two kids, working full-time, going straight through (summers and all, ugh!) he has finally met his goal. He is such a hard worker, provider, and always has such drive. When he sets out to achieve something, he does it and he does it well. We are so proud of you Mr. Pack! Grad School here we come!<br />

I wouldn't necessarily consider this a dining "room" because it's an open space that is connected to our <a href="http://www.seanplusalexa.blogspot.com/2012/06/home-tours-show-us-your-living-room.html" target="_blank">living room.</a> Similar I guess to a "great room" and a lot less formal than a dining room. Anyway, this is the area of our house that I love decorate for all of the fun holidays throughout the year. Right now we have it decorated for the Fourth of July! Here is our dining room in all it's glory, ha!<br />

Our dining table was the first thing we bought together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the farmhouse style.</div>

I got the sideboard for free from a friend! It was originally brown</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I painted it red, did a gel stain over the top, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and added new knobs from Hobby Lobby.</div>

I'm not much of a fan of kids' toys in the main areas of the home, but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hattie absolutely LOVES her play kitchen. She uses it everyday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and often will "cook" while I make dinner in the kitchen.</div>

We also got this little table for free and I finally got around to finishing it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
last month. I love the personality the stripes add! The chairs are from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ikea and we just painted them white to match the table.</div>

it over an existing mirror I already had.</div>
