Lexi's Nature Escape

I know it has been a very, very, very long time since I have posted something so I will just start out with an apology. Things have been a little crazy here with moving into our first home, putting in a yard, having four sets of visitors, and feeling a little extra sick and tired lately, oh and not having a husband most of the time. Anyway with that said, I have actually been accomplishing a few things in the that time and it is now time to share the first one.

When we moved into our new house Lexi also got a big girl bed and therefore needed some new bedding. After searching for the perfect set I found it at one of my favorite stores.....Target! It is called Love and Nature and I love it. More importantly so does Lexi. I thought the trees and little animals were so cute that I decided to paint them on the wall. It took a lot of time and it was a little interesting painting with the "help" of a two year old, but in the end I thought it turn out pretty cute. However, I will let you be the judge. What do you think? There are still a few little thing I want to add but I need to make a trip to Ikea first. That probably won't happen anytime soon so I decided to just take some pictures now anyway.


This wall consumed many hours of my life.

I want to get the pink flower light from Ikea too.

Lexi wanted to pose with her baby for the picture to show off her new room.


A couple of shots of the less exciting walls. Althouhg I did make the curtain...okay I turned sheets into curtains with a little bit of sewing. Target made a super cute bedding set and everything else you can possibly think of to go with it except for curtains. They even have a giant hedghog beanbag pillow but no curtains. Come on Target, really?

More posing by Lexi.



Finally she wanted to show everyone her cooking skills. I think she makes a pretty cute little chef, don't you?
