We're Expecting Baby Number 4!

Whew! That was awesome. You know.. making hella kids.

Okay. So we found out that we were expecting in February, and we're proud to finally share the news with you all!

We're expecting a baby boy in late September 2013, and man are we excited. Woo-hoo for the Iwuji clan!

The last time we took family photos it was 2007. And we had one child. As you can tell  we've grown exponentially. And we keep growing.. obvi!

Check out the super amazing, Maternity / Family Photo shoot shot by my sissy-from-another-missy Morgan and her hubby Thom--I took it upon myself to change the spelling of his name. You are welcome.

Graduation 2013 Inspiration

2013? Really? So, my 18 year old sister will be graduating from high school next month and I swear it seems like we were just celebrating her first birthday. Insane, no? Annnd... I graduated high school in 2003, which means... boom! Its time for my 10 year high school reunion. No? It can't be. I am so young and fresh. Totally kidding.

Anywho-- I'm a DIY'er and party planner to the heart so when I came across these super cute grad crafts I was super excited!

I am insanely obsessed with printables  Like, I use them for on-the-fly and super chic alternative to art work, and ya'll know I love art. I thought Mother's Day would be the perfect time to experiment creating my own printables. You know-- a little Le Photoshop. But, for beginners. Like, real beginners.

I cant wait to make more and share them with you all this weekend. Fun? Yes. Thanks.

PishPosh Baby Mother's Day Giveaway

So I've been all into Mother's Day this year, for obvi reasons, and I could help but think about all of the fun mommy swag that's out there. I remember vowing to myself when I had my first that I would totally keep my vintage-chic, bohemian ( my sister calls me that-- not sure why) style no matter what. And now 3 small wonderful, adorable cute-faced children later, I think I've done pretty well for a twenty something mommy on a budget! ( whew I can only say that for 2 more years. That I'm a twenty-something. Not that I'm on a budget).

Anywho when I came across this super cute Mother's Day giveaway hosted by PishPoshBaby, I was all-- heck yea sister. I knew my readers would get all giddy the same way I did. Oh and did I mention it's to win a PetuniaPickle Bottom diaper bag and blanket. Sheesh I can just feel the organic cotton with all of its wondrous thread count against my face.

Master Bedroom Progress I and our first GIVEAWAY : $200 Giftcard to BeddingStyle.com

**Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see how you can enter to win a $200.00 gift card to BeddingStyle.com**

I know. I know. Master bedrooms are supposed to be all master, but my bedroom has looked like a draft design of a creepy hotel for over a year now. I mean, every company is changing their image nowadays. Like, really. JC Penny's is now cool. And they are JCP--by the way I went into JCP the other day and it was pretty fancy. I was shocked. Anywho-- let's talk my bedroom. 

So, here's the before shot of our master bedroom. Yes, I know...it's alot to look at.

Whew that bed looks gross. I sleep in it a night and I cant see how ugh it is when it's dark!

Here is a peek at my master bedroom progress-- which by the way has a timeline set for the end of the summer. With 3 children and a full time job-- I mean, hey... it'll happen.

My theme for this room will be eclectic trendy pieces with a little french country (love the shape of my dresser and coffee table). I sometimes go safari and I am not sure why. Like maybe it's because I am married to a Nigerian-- not sure, but I go crazy over a tribal print or a wicker basket. Or the headpiece of a Senegalese chief-- which by the way I saw randomly hanging over a babies crib on like Apartment Therapy and my husband immediately shrieked and explained how headpieces are used in Africa for everything from rituals to traditional ceremonies ( good and bad!) (Yikes)

And back to the room. Boom!

My master bedroom has no lighting so I created this faux lighting pom pom with mylar. You can also purchase this pom pom in my Etsy shop!! Same for the tassel garland over the bed! 

I got my bedding design from BeddingStyle.com and I fell in LOVE with it when I saw it in person!!!! Gah! And it's super soft. Here's a link to the bedding design here!
