I've been cooking up a baby for about seven months now and I'm a little sad to say the nursery is almost complete. I ended up forgoing the $400 round wall shelf in favor of some cheaper Ikea wood wall brackets and saved where I could with the help of Craigslist. Time and time again I have been told by my Mom friends not to spend too much on a nursery that the baby will be growing out of before I know it. Did I spend too much of cute sheets and baby clothes, of course, how could I not. But for the crib, rocker, and rug I did some major online sleuthing and managed to get the high end look with out the price tag.

Wishing everyone an amazing adventure filled weekend.
I was wandering around Highland Park when I happened upon the most serene women's clothing and home store called Sonomama. They have all the goods for your spiritual well being as well as some seriously dope gifts, you know like the kind you buy for yourself... Needless to say, I will be back.
Morning rituals...
palo santo incense to start the day clear and grounded, deep breaths, and hot herbal tea.
