{GIVEAWAY} As Darling Does handmade bow ties featured on our little man

A couple weeks ago, I received some ADORABLE happy mail from Kristen of As Darling Does. She sent me the cutest bow ties for our little man and since then, he has worn one at least 5 days of the week. I get so many questions on where they are from and today, I am so excited to announce that one lucky winner will have the chance to WIN $25 from this sweet handmade shop!! Not only does Kristen create bow ties for little dudes (finally, accessories for boys) but As Darling Does is also filled with really cool bibs, adorable hair bows for the little ladies and super soft blankets to cuddle!

I love putting bug in his bow ties and he doesn't seem to mind either! I followed him around a couple days as he wandered in the backyard (his favorite). He is such a nature baby. It's amazing to see the curiosity overflow from his tiny self. I wish I could see the world like he does-as innocent, facinating and new through his eyes. There's so much love and life that abounds through him. I want to hang onto and cherish these moments. The days are long but the years are short.

Little Red Bow Tie :)

A couple of days ago, I created a little red bow tie for my little man who is now going on 7 weeks old! (::tear:: he's growing up so fast!) I thought he would look so cute with one on & boy was I right!? lol

& I didn't stop there! I also created a red bow for my hair to match him. There aren't many ways a mommy & son can match each other but I was determined! :D
...now to make one for my husband! lol

{Hope you are having a beautiful day!}

Buttons & Bow Ties!! {Sneak Peek}

My baby shower for little Levi is just around the corner! (Where the heck did the time go?!) With the help of my mom and mother-in-love :), the invites were finally all put together and sent out, the cake has already been ordered, & the decor is well on it's way to being completed (although there is still lots to do!)
This morning at 4am, little man kept kicking me non-stop after I rolled over and apparently woke him up...so...he made a point to wake me up & he sure succeeded! Since then, I have been working on projects for the baby shower this morning and I wanted to share a sneak peek at some of the details!!
