DSC_3052 - CopyHazel’s room is my favourite room in our house. I think its my favourite because it’s the only room that we have fully redone, and by fully redone I mean painted. And when I say “we” I mean Evan of course! He painted the room himself, it’s the first time he has ever painted a room and he did an amazing job! He also built all the furniture and put up the shelves. We went with a light gray colour and it really changes the feel of the room. Paired with all the white furniture the room has a very calm and comforting feeling to it. One of the reasons we chose the gray was because we didn’t know what we were having when we were expecting so we wanted a gender neutral room that could easily suit a little girl or boy. We started out by pairing the gray and white with some pops of yellow here and there but of course now we have thrown some pops of pink in there too!

Our biggest splurge for the room was the bedding, we had looked and looked but we didn’t find anything we loved that would go well with the gray. And then I found Pottery Barn Kids, oh my, I could probably spend a billion dollars in that store! We went with the Taylor collection, its gray and white and has the cutest little elephants all over it, this is where my obsession of elephants began. Every time I see something to do with elephants now it instantly catches my eye, where as before I wouldn’t have even noticed.

Since we splurged big time on the bedding we kept the budget in line by picking up a rocking chair off of Craigslist. Evan sanded and painted the chair white and I found a nice rocking chair pad online for it. I wanted to get a Moroccan style pouf for the foot rest but couldn’t justify the price. I ended up finding the ottoman at Homesense and I am very glad I went that route. There have been several times where Murray is sitting in the chair and I end up sitting on the ottoman and I don’t think a pouf would have been as comfy.

One of my favourite pieces in the room is the bear print above the change table. This print was in my room growing up. I had no idea my mom still had it until she gifted it to me before Hazel was born. She had waited until we picked out the room colours and then went and got it re-framed and matted.  It’s a great addition to the room and fits in perfectly. Somedays its hard to get Hazel to sit still while we change her as she wants to touch the bears.

I submitted a bunch of pictures of Hazels room to Project Nursery the other night and to my surprise this morning it was on their homepage! This was definitely a highlight to my day as I was expecting to have to search for it in their galleries.  To see more pictures and to find out what products we used in the room go check out my post on Project Nursery. If your looking for ideas for a nursery or toddler room there are lots of great ideas on this site!

Freshly Picked Moccasin Giveaway

There is nothing I love more than a good mail day, ok there are a couple of things, like big gummy smiles, but how fun is it when you check the mail and have a letter, an invite or even a package? The only thing better than getting a package in the mail is when the package contains teeny tiny moccasins with the initials FP stamped on the soles. That’s right I’m talking about Freshly Picked moccasins! Owner and CEO Susan Peterson started her journey making moccasins back in 2009, trying to create a shoe that would stay on her own child’s foot, making the shoes in her kitchen. She has come a long way since then, this past January she was featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, wining a pitch from Daymond John, founder of FUBU. Even before appearing on Shark Tank her moccasins were making the rounds with Hollywood, seen frequently on Kourtney Kardashian’s kids. Not only are these moccasins absolutely adorable on pudgy little baby feet, but they stay on! Have you ever tried to get shoes on a baby? I don’t know about you but I find it nearly impossible and 90% of the time Hazel kicks them off right away. The elastic on these moccasins ensures they stay on, even when little hands try and pry them off. Another perk to the moccasins is they come in a variety of colours, including metallics and camo, making them easy to match with pretty much any babies wardrobe. They do come with a big price tag at $60 a pair, but they are well worth it. They are hand made in the US, with 100% genuine leather and they are able to withstand daily wear and tear.

Hazel received her very first pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins in the mail last week and we absolutely love them. We love them so much that we want to give a pair to one of you! That’s right we have partnered up with Freshly Picked to give one of you your very own pair of Freshly Picked Moccasins!
