geometric mobiles release!
29 May
You guys! I am so excited to show you the project I have been working on! Remember that sneak peek post awhile back, well this is the final product to that project! I am now selling custom geometric baby mobiles.
When I was getting Ruby’s room together before she was born, I had this idea in my head of the mobile I wanted to hang over her crib, but just couldn’t find the right one. So I decided to make it myself. Each mobile is made by hand with local materials. They each feature a fun gold frame and custom geometric shapes.
I have designed a few mobiles that I have listed on etsy, and there is also an option to choose your own colors to create a custom mobile to fit the exact colors of your nursery. Below are the color options I have available.
To see all the mobiles I am selling check out my etsy store here. I have added a link to my shop on the top right menu of my blog, and that link will take you straight to the mobiles as well.
If you have any questions about the mobiles feel free to email me at michele@lavenderkay.com or send me a message through etsy.
Hi friends! Today I am sharing our family pictures. We were fortunate enough to have my sister-in-law take some pictures of us as a family of three when we visited Washington last month. She did an amazing job of capturing our family, and I am so excited to share some of them with you!

Good morning friends! Here is a recent photo from my instagram. I am working on a new project that I am really excited about, and I thought I would show you a little sneak peek of it. This is just a tiny glimpse of the project but once it is completed I will share all the details so check back soon!
Good afternoon friends! Today I am sharing with you another color palette. I picked this image because I love the creamy pink with the pop of rich black. And, I just want to crawl in that bed and take a nap.
Today I wanted to share a quick entertaining trick with you. If you are like me and don’t have any extra time on your hands, than any entertaining shortcuts are happily welcomed. A fun trick I stumbled upon is when you make cookies, double or even triple the batch and put half of the dough in the freezer. That way when you have guests over, you can just pull out your cookie dough from the freezer and throw them in the oven for quick, fresh baked cookies!
Hi! I just thought I would quickly check in and post a picture of this cutie pie. I am fighting a cold so I am trying to rest up during any down time Ruby gives me. I am also drinking a lot of 
1. Plan a warm vacation for January/February. After surviving last winter (remember the horrid polar vortex?!), Jonathan and I decided to plan a tropical vacation for February. It really made a big difference on our attitude going into winter because we knew we had our vacation to look forward to. We decided to got to 
2. Get a membership to the Domes. I have 
3. Drink lots of warm beverages. Jonathan and I drink so much tea and hot chocolate in the winter. Pretty much every night we fill the tea kettle with water and pick out our drink of choice. I almost always pick hot chocolate. It is something to look forward to in the evening.
4. Buy fresh flowers.
5. Invest in warm clothing. Winter lasts a really long time in Wisconsin so it is important to have the right clothing. I bought a crazy warm coat last year that was expensive but so worth it. I wear it every single day. For me, I believe it is important that you invest in a coat that is both warm and cute. You want to stay warm, but also feel good in what you are wearing since you use it so much. Good boots and scarves are very important too.
6. Delete your weather app. (Or at least all the cities on the West Coast). This may be my number one most important tip. I could write a whole blog post on just this. The thing is, if you are constantly checking the weather (at least Wisconsin weather) it will disappoint you. You will be depressed about the day/week before it even starts. You will make a predetermined judgement about the weather without experiencing the actually weather conditions. And, I can tell you from experience this does not help you survive the winter. I have found it is much better to just be surprised each day. If the day happens to be nice then I can be pleasantly surprised, but if it isn’t, at least I haven’t wasted the previous day dreading the bad weather for the present day. Also, it helps to just not know it is -5 degrees outside. This all may sound weird but I promise it helps.
Happy Friday! I am so happy it is almost the weekend! Do you have any fun plans? Ours will be pretty busy because Jonathan is on call, but Ruby and I plan to get out a little and make a trip to the domes.
Good afternoon! This week has been little crazy but I thought I would check in and post a few instagram pictures from our Florida vacation. We had so. much. fun! I was pretty nervous for the airplane ride with Ruby but it ended up going pretty well. The flight to Florida started a little rocky but once we were in the air things went pretty well, and the flight attendants even gave us a free drink! Here are a few of the photos from our trip!
