Week Twenty-Two

April 27, 2015 by Aliesha

I’m halfway through this pregnancy now… can you believe it?! People ask me how I feel all the time, and my answer is “great!”

Not much to report since the last update. Baby Apricot moves around lots throughout the day and night, and I always love getting to feel him or her move!

The girls are still convinced Baby Apricot is a girl, and Cordelia asks almost daily when our “newborn baby” is coming. She also kisses my belly and talks to Baby Apricot. They are both so excited.

I’m hoping to really get to do a lot of things with my family this spring/early summer while I still have a good bit of energy! We have lots of plans for bird zoo trips, berry picking, beach trips, library visits, and more.

I’m now stuck in between regular pants and maternity pants! Regular ones aren’t so flattering, but maternity ones are still a bit too baggy most of the time. Dresses and skirts for the win!

Thanks for continuing to pray for our baby! We are blessed.

Styled Sauder Credenza in the Living Room

April 23, 2015 by Aliesha

I recently acquired a new piece of furniture for our living room, and it has been SO fun to style and decorate! This is the Adept Storage Credenza from Sauder. Sauder creates on-trend, affordable furniture that is easy to style for your living space.

This piece is so classic and beautiful and styling it for the new Sauder Put Together Lookbook was a breeze! It was also simple to assemble in a couple of hours. (Little bit of trivia about me… I LOVE putting together furniture!)

The credenza is perfect for storing books, photo books, and other odds and ends in the baskets.

The beautiful light wood top is my favorite part! It looks rough and weathered, but it’s smooth. I love the combination of the wood top with the white lower half!

There is so much storage space in this credenza, but there is also so much opportunity to make it look pretty! When styling it, I varied the type of baskets I used to create interest. I also made sure to put the books on the shelves in interesting ways. I kept to a cohesive color scheme (the predominant colors of my living room) but tried to spread out the color throughout the various cubbies.
