Nerdy With Children Kickstarter

nwc_kickstarter

I’ve been a fan of Nerdy with Children and their products for some time, so naturally I was excited to hear that they were trying to expand their line. I absolutely love that the way they want to do so is by providing real heroes for real kids. More specifically, rather than just focusing on fictional heroes from pop culture, they want to launch a line of tees (from onesies to adults) featuring influential figures in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).

Being a behavior analyst, I get a chance to (hopefully) improve children’s lives every day and help shape and mold them to be better people, which is why I love this idea of introducing children to these amazing historical figures at a young age and empowering them that they, too, can make a difference. The first run of shirts will include individuals such as Marie Curie, Nicola Tesla, Jules Verne and George Washington Carver, just to name a few.

What I Wore: I Know My Value

Can someone start playing “The Final Countdown?” Because that’s where I’m at right now! In these pictures, I was a pleasantly plump, but happy 35 weeks. Things are starting to ache and bother, but I’m still pretty petite which allows me a little more energy and mobility than most. The hubs and I had one of our usual foodie day dates in Wynwood, and we were able to visit some pretty amazing little markets, such as Flavorish & Marky’s, and had lunch at Ms. Cheezious (do you know they now offer their sandwiches on gluten free bread???). We picked up so many delicious little treats and fantasized about having picnics with our little one in the future.

As usual, Jordan Dene’s tanks keep me super comfy. I love that I don’t have to rely on maternity and can still let my geek flag fly as often as possible. I’m loving her new line of tees – this one being a quote from Agent Carter. Make sure to check out her site – it is chock full of goodies for yourself AND the geeky little ones in your life!

Minted: Baby Paper Goods

I’m sure you guys have heard of Minted, especially if you get Christmas cards from your friends and family. I know come holiday season, our house is full of beautifully designed cards from the site, but they just recently introduced baby paper goods. If you know me, you know how much I love stationery, notebooks and the such. Basically, setting me loose in Office Depot is a treat. That’s why I was so happy to work together with Minted to bring you some of their cutest goods and show you how I’m going to make them work for baby Luna (sorry for all the blockage of Luna’s middle name – we are keeping it a secret until her birth).

I absolutely loved their baby notebooks so I knew I had to have one for little Lu. I have so many notebooks scattered around my house, it’s kind of ridiculous. I actually have several in her room already, but none were specifically geared towards her first year like this one. I also loved the gorgeous floral designed cover and the extra step of personalization with her first and middle name. The notebook also fits in perfectly aesthetic-wise with her nursery (which was revealed last week – check it out), so it was an added plus! The inside of the notebook is left blank so that you can fill it with whatever musings you wish, even if it’s just feeding times!

Life with Luna: Geeky Swag

geekybaby

Welcome to a new feature! Even though little Luna has not yet made her debut, she will be my partner in crime on this blog once she is and I look forward to sharing a lot of her outfits (whether she is in them or not) and her adventures in them. A lot of you have been asking me where I get all my cute geeky swag for her, so I figured I would put together a post sharing just that!

GOT_1

I know I share the Jordan Dene love on this blog often, but how can you not when she makes such adorable things for both babies and their parents?! I often voice that I wish they made some baby clothes for big kids, and Jordan does just that! The typography is on point and we share almost all the same fandoms, so I know I’m going to love every single piece she sends my way. Here you can see both a Game of Thrones inspired onesie, as well as a Doctor Who one. I styled the GOT onesie with a pair of skinny jeans (too much cute) that are cuffed at the bottom for some extra flair, as well as a striped beanie and silver mocs. This would definitely be a Wynwood adventuring session on a Sunday afternoon outfit with mommy attempting to pull off the same look!

Life with Luna: Nursery Tour

With 4 weeks to go until the arrival of our little one (at the time of this post, at least), I am happy to say that her nursery is complete! Granted, we still have some touches that we will add along the way, but for now, everything is looking nice and neat and as it should. The anticipation is definitely growing to meet our sweet little moon, and seeing her adorable face on the ultrasound today made me smile so hard. She’s absolutely beautiful! I can’t wait to hold that tiny body and look into those big (surely brown) eyes. But until then, we have her bright & fun nursery to share with you all!

We wanted to make sure Luna’s room was neutral so that we could play with a lot of pops of color to accessorize and decorate. We found this perfect light gray hue at Lowe’s and made sure all her furniture was white or close enough to it. Behind her crib, we had some fun with both regular and custom pieces from Etsy. As you can see, we sprinkled in a lot of moon references. 😉
