Max's Room

I posted this picture today on Instagram, and a few photos with him in his room before that, and had a few ladies ask about Max's play table, chair, and bookshelf.

First off, this is my favorite room in my house! Mainly because i had full control over every decor decision! The other space in my home my husband and i had to 'compromise' with each other...ack! -_-

I posted his nursery last year, here...if you want to view more. I am actually in planning mode of redesigning it right now, not a drastic change, but little changes here and there. 

When i first planned his nursery, i knew it had to be budget friendly. I wanted good style that didn't break the bank. And who doesn't love IKEA's clean, modern, cheap decor? If i could, i'd live there and be happy forever! 

Anyways, i first got inspired when i saw a sale at pottery barn. It was the same length table, but as soon as i added to cart, SOLD OUT! Bummer. Now i was pregnant and moody and i knew i had to get that table somehow! 

Later that week i went to my sister's house, went to her room and just hung out. We watched tv and i noticed she was using this coffee table as a tv stand. And then a light goes off, THAT'S MY TABLE! It's simple and clean~

I knew what i wanted and went to IKEA to go grab one! I just didn't install the bottom shelf on the bottom cause i knew i wanted to add cute little kid's chair! Which is also from ikea! I also wanted this space to grow with Max. I imagined him one day drawing or reading books at the table, which is why i decided on adding the picture ledges to use as bookshelves! It's also the perfect width!

This space turned out exactly how i imagined/wanted it to come out! I'm so happy when i'm in his room! It's the perfect play space! 

I hope you found some inspiration in our room! And found the info was helpful for you to start planning your little ones space! :)

Life according to my iphone: March 2013

How is it April already? AND it's still cold! Ack. 

I've been dealing with a sick baby this past weekend. He is feeling a little better now..So hopefully Max wakes up in the morning feeling a LOT better! I can't stand to see my baby sick :( He caught some virus and went through a hard time. And after the fever went away, he started getting red bumps and rashes all over his body..mostly from his waist and up. Poor thing. What a way to start the month of April! Geez.

And March, you just came and went in a blink of an eye! In March Max turned 13 months, he's growing his canines and molars, caught a virus (ugh), started making him more finger foods, he loves to bounce balls, baby proofed the whole house, celebrated my 28th birthday, watched my niece Chloe for a few days (that was challenging), snow came out of no where, lots of play dates, Easter (didn't do much since he was sick), and we welcomed my niece, Ellie to the family! March, you might of slipped right past me, but boy were you a eventful month! :)

Lately

Oh MAN. Last week was so crazy! I wanted to keep up with blogging but i was so worn out! 

So to update, last week i celebrated my 28th birthday with friends and family! Nothing special, just a nice dinner at a Korean restaurant...like every year~ 

I celebrated a few days early cause i had baby duty! My sister-in-law had a scheduled c-section a day before my birthday so i watched both Max and my niece Chloe! I thought it wouldn't be too much to handle since both of them aren't that bad....but BOY was i wrong!

I think Chloe sensed something is different. Cause she was so clingy~ she's usually not like that. But for some reason she always wanted to be held and cuddled to sleep. Doesn't sound bad, but after a couple day it gets tiring and you can't get stuff done. Plus Max got so jealous! I would have both of them standing in front of me screaming and crying and looking up at me to be held~

Max usually doesn't like being held, but when Chloe wants me to, or if she is already being held.. he wants it too. OY. Sometimes he would try to push her away. lol. It was cute at first but then it got difficult to deal with as the days past.

And to make it even harder on myself with two babies, i knew i didn't want to be stuck at home all the time and miss my mommy workouts and play dates, so i challenged myself to just go do it. 

Hubby was a big help in the mornings! He helped get them fed, dressed, and buckled in the car seat before heading out to work! 

By the last day, they started to get along and play with each other. I snuck up to get this shot cause i didn't want to ruin the moment for them..hehe!

Having both of them at the same time, for 3-4days.....SO TIRED.

For all the mamas with 2 or more kids...i salute you! whew! It is not easy! I don't know how you do it! But it definitely didn't get me to the point where i wouldn't want a 2nd! I actually liked having both of them, even tho it was mentally and physically draining.

And now~~ I'm a Auntie to two beautiful lil nieces! Welcome to the world, Ellie!
