Hello, my name is…
I know I am taking a major risk here. I’m already fairly certain that no one will respond. But, since I know that my number of subscribers has doubled since the end of December, I know you are out there, and I would love for you to say hello!
Let me encourage you by going first. This is me and my main man Ike on a very snowy Friday morning in all of our unshowered, yoga-pant-and-hoodie maternity leave glory (if you listen closely, The Nate Berkus Show is on in the background). As you can see, I’ve already trained Ike to look at the camera, but the whole mirror thing confused him. We’re working on it. Oh, and don’t mind the light fixture extending from my head…it really adds something, right?
So, now that I’ve put myself out there and bribed you with a picture of my baby, won’t you leave a comment and say hello? If you’re a new follower, let me know how you came to stumble upon this special little place and feel free to tell me a bit about yourself so that I can feel like we are friends. If I get less than 50 comments, Ike will cry and I will have to drive around at midnight again to calm him. You don’t want that on your shoulders, right!?
And, if you are one of those 10 people who have been following all along, thank you for always being there and commenting…you make my day!
i follow you in google reader
you are adorable! and i could just nibble ike’s little cheeks. what a doll!
[Reply]
Hi! I’ve been following for a long time! Don’t think I am a very good commenter though
He is absolutely precious!!! So cute that he is looking right into the camera!
Hope you have a great weekend!
[Reply]
Sure, I’ll play along! Hello from Portland, Maine! I found you via John & Sherry’s BabyCenter blog (don’t you just love them?) when they featured your gorgeous nursery. Love the gray.

Hi!! I live in a suburb of Vancouver called Langley, BC (Canada).
I also found your blog through YHL
I am a 27 year old Mama to 4 little boys… Yours is adorable – I just love (and miss) that fresh baby stage!!
PS) I love the light fixture extending from your head. You’re werking it
[Reply]
Hi there! I’m a new reader, although I can’t remember how I stumbled across you (a picture of your nursery was somewhere, maybe, and I clicked on it?) Anyway, love your blog and your baby is adorable!
[Reply]
Hi Erin & Ike! This is Jen from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I found your blog from a link at Young House Love to their post about your adorable nursery. Love it! I hope Ike is enjoying his gorgeous new room! Take care & keep warm.
[Reply]
Hi, Erin! I’m one of those new followers. I think I found you through Young House Love? I’m not sure. Regardless, you started popping up on my Google Reader recently!
My name’s Misty. I’m 27 (turning 28 on Thursday!), married and expecting a baby boy in March.
[Reply]
I’ve been following you for a few months and absolutely adore your site.
My husband and I are expecting our first child, a baby girl, in a few weeks, and I have re-read your Nursery/Baby posts several times!
Keep up all the posting, we are still reading – no matter what the content subject
[Reply]
I follow you in Google Reader as well.
I think I found you sometime when your amazing nursery was being featured.
[Reply]
I follow you! CUTEST baby ever! Love the name and the fact that he looks at the camera already!
[Reply]
Hi Diane from Pennsylvania! I found your blog from another blog (although at the moment I cannot remember which one). I too have a little boy, and I think your nursery design was amazing!!!
[Reply]
i’ve been following along for quite a while…i don’t know how or when, but it was definitely before nursery. i know i’ve commented a few times…i feel one should when one sees something and likes it. it is disconcerting to see a follower number, but then have only a few comments, or even have a lot of comments, but hardly any of them from actual followers. blogging is a strange thing, at least to me!
[Reply]
I have been following you in my google reader for a while now. I don’t remember exactly how I found you, probably a link up party. Congrats on the new addition, very cute
[Reply]
Hi! Cute baby!! And cute nursery! I think I found your blog as a suggestion in reader.
Love your blog! Have a nice weekend!
[Reply]
I LOVE BABIES!!!!!! I am a mom of three (all 4 and under), trying to get DH to agree to #4, it’s a hard sell
I don’t know how I stumbeled upon you, I think in one of the link parties, I am a newer follower and fairly new to the blogging world. I just started my own blog: http://www.mycreativeescapes.blogspot.com – I would love for you to stop by and say hi. Now that I am blogging – I know how dear and special each and every comment is!!!
So hello – greatings from cold cold New York, and enjoy every momment with that baby – but be sure to BLOG to – we love you here!!!
[Reply]
I’m Chelsey and I’ve been following you for a while, mostly because you live in my homestate of Maine and know what Marden’s is, oh and you do super crafty things that I love.
[Reply]
Hi, I’m a new follower. I found you through Shannanigons guest post just a few days ago. I’m due to have my second baby in 11 weeks and we are working on the nursery, so I enjoyed checking out your nursery posts! Congrats on the cutie boy!
[Reply]
Ah, I found you via a google search I was doing about nurseries!
I’m a sucker for babies!!
And I follow you in my google reader!
[Reply]
Hi Erin & Ike! My name is Alicia, aka, Lish…I believe I stumbled upon your blog while browsing for nursery inspiration for baby #2 …I love your nursery by the way!..and now I am a dedicated follower! I would love if you stopped by my blog to say hi!

[Reply]
Hi – I found your website through YoungHouseLove when they showed off your fabulous nursery. Ever since then I pop in from time to time to see how things are going and if there are any new crafty/house projects happening.
My husband and I bought a fixer-upper almost two years ago and are diligently working on it! It’s taken two years to have it start to look like our forever home… We have about twenty more years to go until it’s perfect
We are hoping to start the baby train within the year and I am looking for inspiration when redooing the ‘to be’ nursery one day.
Thanks for the cute little guy’s picture – congrats and he’s adorable!!
[Reply]
Hi! I’m Jess. I blog very infrequently but I love to kill time during the day by reading lots of blogs. I’ve been here longer than December, but probably not one of the original 10. I love reading about decorating, home improvements, cooking, and follow many baby blogs even though I don’t have one of my own (yet!).
Happy Friday!!
[Reply]
Hello. I know I found your blog through a blogroll somewhere, but I haven’t the slightest which one. It seems the snow has just about stopped here in Southern NH, so maybe your afternoon will clear up too.
[Reply]
Hi! I follow you in Google Reader too. We actually work for the same place, though I don’t think I’ve met you IRL, but I found your blog by mention of another coworker a couple months ago. Hopefully that doesn’t freak you out.
[Reply]
Hi from Oregon! I don’t remember where I saw it first, but your nursery reeled me in with every detail. Since then, your blog has found a permanent home in my google reader. Love your blog, keep up the good work! And you’re far braver than I for posting a pre-shower picture! Have a great weekend!
[Reply]
Hi there! I also found your blog through the BabyCenter post about your nursery. I’m expecting our first child – a boy! – in May and I LOVE all the DIY projects in your nursery. We’re not huge DIY people, but I do sew and I totally plan to copy those book slings and sew my own crib skirt, too! Congrats on your precious baby boy!
[Reply]
I follow on Google Reader, Facebook, I have you bookmarked on my Google Chrome Bar and I check in periodically… It’s not stalking… you can just consider me a super fan of your witty posts and decorating abilities.
Every evening after work I spend about an hour or so blog hopping, and I think I may have come across your blog sometime in 2010 from Centsational Girl or Thrifty Decor Chicks. Possibly one of the parties…
[Reply]
Hi there! I’m a new follower, who, like many others it seems, found you via John and Sherry’s column on Babycenter. I adored your nursery and just had to come find out more.
[Reply]
Meh, I’ve been here… But “HI!” anyway! You guys are adorable.
[Reply]
Hi – I’m a new follower! I can’t remember where I found your blog…it was when your nursery was featured all over the place! Lovely to meet Ike!
[Reply]
Hi Erin,
You and your baby are beautiful!! What a darling! I have been following your blog for a couple of months . I was searching for embroidery hoop decoration and I found your nursery (which is beyond adorable) and your blog, which I love
Thanks and keep up the good work!

[Reply]
You look really great — umm, aren’t you supposed to have dark circles under your eyes from all the sleepless nights with Ike!?
This gives me hope that I won’t be a complete disaster when the time comes! 
Ike is a cutie, too! And I’m impressed at how quickly you’ve trained him to look at the camera!
[Reply]
Hi Erin,
I started following you through Google reader after a friend of mine suggested your blog for fun domesticity on the cheap
I just got married this November and am constantly surprised by how much I love making our house feel like “ours”, your posts definitely have spurred a few projects! Hope you’re enjoying mommy-hood!

[Reply]
Hi! Recently I was blog surfing (just going from one to another from their blog roll), I found yours and loved it! I’m a new reader, but I really do love your posts! I’m not usually a commenter, but I’ll get better! Very adorable baby!
[Reply]
I added you to my google reader after you were featured on Young House Love. Can’t wait to try the peanut butter/chocolate cake!
[Reply]
::waves hi::
like a lot of above commenters, i found you through young house love and instantly fell in love with your nursery! we’re expecting kiddo #2 this summer and it gave me some great inspiration for our future nursery. once i found your blog, i was hooked. so glad to have stumbled upon it!
[Reply]
HI, I am a new follower. I was googling how to paint your cabinets white and was directed to your website/blog. They look great by the way. I am a mom to a 3 month boy. We have something in common! He is trouble I tell you. With a name like Calvin we are sure to get into trouble. WE are stuck inside on this snowy day, as we live in NY in the Adirondacks. We get feet apon feet here. By the way I am stealing your mobile idea and making it to fit the decor in my sons room (birds and trees). I hand crafted a few stuffed birds and wanted to make a mobile with sticks, but it didn’t work out. I designed his room.
Anyways, I enjoy your crafty ideas. Keep on crafting/decorating. You got a real nack for it.
[Reply]
Erin you look so pretty in this photo and little Ike is so cute looking at the camera. I don’t remember how I found you, but when I saw you had elephants in your nursery I just about died and added you to my reader. Now you’re one of my top 5 favorites, obviously since I think I’ve commented here more lately than I have on any other blogs in 2011 and 2010 combined. xo
[Reply]
Hi there! I’m Amanda … also a recent Google reader follower via your adorable nursery reveal and those incredible youngsters. Love your writing style and of course that cutie you are holding!
[Reply]
Hi! My name is Kelsey and I have a similarly named blog, Adventure Mama. I too came across your site after photos of your elephant nursery were posted somewhere (I can’t remember where!), and I feel that we would totally be friends if we knew each other in real life. I’m looking forward to more posts!
Cute kid!
[Reply]
Hi Erin! Congrats on the little man!
He’s super cute! I don’t remember how I stumbled across your blog, but have been reading for a bit. Love your nursery! You guys did a great job!
[Reply]
Hi, my name is… Katie. I found you through John & Sherry’s BabyCenter post about Ike’s nursery and really wanted to see if the rest of your house was as cute as the nursery (it was). I’m in my middle 20s, married to an awesome guy who totally understands my desire to give the entire house a makeover, and (as of yet) childless which isn’t so exciting anymore. I blog infrequently but am addicted to RSS feeds. It will be exciting to see how much things change for your family now that Ike is here. Congratulations!
[Reply]
Hi Erin! As you know I’m a follower form California. Your blog drew me in with your fun, sunny and cheery nursery. I’ve been hooked on your blog ever since and have been enjoying many of your recipes. You look adorable and happy and little Ike is a doll. What a cutie he is. Thanks so much for sharing your photo! Fun post today!
[Reply]
Congratulations Erin! Is Ike’s name Issac? That’s one of my top picks…for someday.
I found your blog through another one I read after the nursery reveal. I love what you did there, and I’ve loved seeing what else you’ve done with your house. Nice to meet you!

Hi Erin, I’m Janis from Scotland, UK and I’ve been following you for some time. I think I stumbled on your blog from Young House Love. Your photograph is lovely – very natural and he’s a wee dream.
All te best for the future and I’ll be following your moves – not in a stalker way though haha.
[Reply]
I follow you with Google Reader.
I first came across someone who posted about your nursery. Quickly saved as one of my favorites, I couldn’t resist seeing what else you’re up to.
Congrats on your little guy. He’s adorable.
Chatting like we were friends… I love creative things, anything I can dip flatbread into, and Jane Austen. There are a few more, but just to leave a friendly line per your request.
[Reply]
I started following your blog when younghouselove featured your nursery… which i LOVE! You do an awesome job with the blog, keep it up! (oh and i love your baby related posts and i don’t even have oneyet
)
[Reply]
Hey there! New follower! I found your blog when your nursery was featured somewhere… can’t remember where exactly
. I’ve been reading blogs for quite a while and just started to try to comment more so I don’t feel like a lurker, thanks for encouraging me to say hello! 
[Reply]
Hi! I saw your nursery on Young House Love’s blog on Baby Center. Since then I have explored your site and enjoyed reading your guest posts. Keep up the good work!
[Reply]
Hiya! I’m Elizabeth and I follow you in Google Reader. I think I stumbled upon your site when I was looking for something creative to do with books in my daughter’s nursery. I loved what you did and that is now on my ever-growing list of crafts to start! Plus, I love that you have a newborn, as I am a new mom myself.
[Reply]
Erin he is wonderful! I cannot believe how cute he is. I am at my 33 weeks and I am expecting a baby girl. Hopefully, she will be here on March. I found you when I was trying to find cool ideas about nursery design. I love how creative you are! I live in Ma. I wish I could come and visit you guys… I hope he has a very long, healthy, happy life with you. HELLO IKE!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
You’ve almost made it to 50! I found your blog I’m guessing through Young House Love, but I subscribed because of your AWESOME nursery! I’m decorating our soon-to-be nursery right now, and yours has provided us with a lot of inspiration. In fact, I made a crib skirt last night following your directions! Keep up the great decorating and Ike is ADORABLE!
[Reply]
I actually just found you the other day and haven’t subscribed yet but I LOVED the photos of your nursery… I just don’t remember where I saw them!! Did I make the 50th comment?
[Reply]
Apparently I did subscribe… silly me! So glad I did. I didn’t want Ike to cry so I just thought I would make sure you were over 50 comments by leaving two!!
[Reply]
Found your lovely blog through the YHL post on your beautiful nursery! I’m a momma of a little boy as well but he’s an older version at 5 years old. Nice to ‘meet’ you!

Hi. I am a recent follower. I can’t remember exactly who’s blog I found you through, but I do remember that they had posted about your nursery, which is so great. After reading about your nursery I read through your past posts and decided I like what you have to say
I’ve been following lots of blog for a while now, and finally decided to start my own after nagging from friends and family. I really enjoy it–even if I know there’s not many people reading, for now. I was not a big commenter before my blog, but now that I have one and love when they come through, I am trying to comment more.
[Reply]
Hey there! I’m Amanda from California. Love the blog. Congrats on the new addition. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little boy due on Valentine’s Day. You created an adorable nursery
[Reply]
Oh my goodness! All of you have completely made my day. Thank you for saying hello! And, if this really means that I don’t need to drive Ike around at midnight again, then I owe you all forever and ever.

Hi! Am I first? Lucky me
Hi Erin, I am a new follower but have really enjoyed your posts so far! I am a few weeks out from having my 2nd child and “work” from out of the house in Italy. Stop by my store at http://www.thedapperdarling.com sometime and check it out. I used to blog as well but with this difficult pregnancy and recent move I all but stopped. I hope to resume when baby boy arrives.
PS..what name to you like best?
Sterling
Wesley or
Elijah?
Ike is cute! Choosing a boys name is HARD!

I’ve been following you from Seal Cove and Bar Harbor since you showed me your DIY Save the Date for your wedding. I didn’t even know what DIY was
Working from home and loving being able to take a break to play with Grace (9 months old now!). We went for our first toboggan ride after lunch. She LOVED it.
You have way more than 50 comments so Ike should be a happy little man!

Hey Erin! I dunno how long I’ve stalked your blog for, but it’s been a while.
Love all the reads and maybe someday I’ll up my domestic-ness to your level.
Aww, Ike is SO cute… maybe someday him and Mckenzie can meet… you know, if he’s into older women.

Hello Erin and Ike,
Greetings form southern California! My husband and I are expecting our first baby in July so I often search the internet for nursery ideas. I found your blog when YHL featured your nursery, and I added you to my Google reader right away. I’ve really enjoyed reading all of your blog. Thanks for the wonderful posts!
[Reply]
Hi! I’m from Tampa, Florida and came upon your blog when John & Sherry (I just write their first names so I can pretend that I know them) wrote about your nursery on Babycenter. I think it’s dreamy and sent it to my friend who is having a baby in March so she can copy it.
I had a baby in September so I commented on your baby must haves list. Congrats! Love your blog so far.
[Reply]
OMG what a (couple) of dolls! Erin you look great and Ike looks like he is going to have red hair!!!!
[Reply]
Well…goodness me this worked, didn’t it? I should try this on my blog (that also means I must stop reading other blogs and post on mine as well I guess).
Hi there. My name is Heather. I live on the coast of North Carolina. I’m married and working as an intern architect. I’m about to take my LAST TEST in the whole architecture process. After I pass it, and complete my internship time (only 8 months to go), I can call myself a real, grown-up architect. That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing the past year. A few crafts have been added in the mix.
After the testing is done, I have no idea what’s next (babies, crafts, more work, MUCH more beach time). Only time will tell.
I love your blog. Congrats on your wee one. He is adorable. And I’m completely ok with exploitation of offspring. Isn’t that why you have them anyway?
[Reply]
Hi Erin,
!)
I’m a reader in Kansas – I stumbled upon your blog via Sherry & John’s post on BabyCenter…and since I have a little one due in May, the timing of becoming a reader couldn’t have been better. I’ve bookmarked a couple of your posts and plan on being a big ol’ copycat (hope you don’t mind
Keep up the good work… & congrats on Ike. He’s adorable.

Hi Erin,
I’m a new follower of your blog – probably a few weeks now. I’m not 100% sure how I found you but it was probably from a link on the Young House Love blog or a link from a link!
Thanks for sharing your blog.
[Reply]
Hey, Erin!
First off, congrats on little Ike! I came across your site after seeing the article that the YHL crew posted on Baby Center about your super cute nursery. I’ve got one little guy running around and another one on the way. We’re moving soon and I love your whole blog concept that I just might start my own as we embark on this new adventures and settle into a new house.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi! I found your blog on Young House Love. I am from NC and just had my first baby Jan 4th. I think you do an awesome job blogging.

I recently became a stay at home mommy to my new baby boy and 9 year old girl…and pursuing my dream of not just a photographer, but actively using my more creative self to make life more fun!
So I i’d like to be like you when I grow up! I subscribe on goole reader and love the ideas and inspiration…how do you find the time! Its fantastic – thank you so much for sharing.
[Reply]
Hi! I’m fairly certain I found you through YHL since that’s pretty much where I find everyone. I’m childless, but I have a dog! She’s like my child, I suppose. My mom said I treat her like a kid, so I guess it’s true. I love DIY to bits and pieces and I love reading your blog because of your DIY adventures and I’ve always secretly wanted to move to Maine (currently in Texas).
[Reply]
Hi Erin,
It’s just me — I found out about your blog from Chris who told me that is was something you used to have some fun at his expense, so I of course had to check it out to support your efforts!
You and Ike look beautiful, and Happy!

Hi!
I’m a new follower too, and I’m from Australia – found you via Young House Love. I love the look of your nursery and I have actually made those cornices for two of the bedrooms in our house and it turned out great and gave the rooms a pop of colour! So thanks heaps for the tutorial! We’re hoping to add a little one to our family soon and I’m sure I’ll borrow a few more ideas when the time comes to make a nursery:)
Have a great weekend!

Hello from LA! I found your blog after your nursery was featured on Young House Love’s Babycenter post. I’m pregnant with my first baby (a boy due in April!) so I loved checking out your nursery! I actually copied you and just ordered some tissue poms from Etsy

Hi there!
I get shy about posting a comment on people-I-don’t-know’s blogs so thanks for the invite. My name is Rachel, I live in UT w/ my husband and 3 kids (2 girls, 1 boy). I found your blog via Emily A. Clark posting about your cute nursery. I also really appreciated your tips for planning and executing a holiday meal. My in-laws came up for Christmas and I wasn’t running around like a recently decapitated chicken which seriously cut down my stress. Thanks again!
[Reply]
Hello Erin!
Great blog! I’m a recent subscriber following a link to Ike’s beautiful nursery – YHL I think. Congrats on his arrival! I’m mum of 3 girls in rural Australia, so I love reading blogs and being inspired by clever people from around the world. My youngest is currently snoozing and is 1 in 2 weeks and its seems like yesterday she was as small as Ike….enjoy those cuddles while they cant climb off you and crawl away!
[Reply]
Hi there! I found your blog through John and Sherry’s Babycenter post about your nursery. You have a very nice blog and a very cute baby.

Hi, Erin. I, too, was brought to your blog by your nursery post, which I absolutely adore and have had to share with a few of my mommy-friends. I’m in South Carolina and have a one year old girl. We recently bought a house, which is currently undergoing renovation. So we get to do a nursery again! Thanks for the nursery inspiration. =)
[Reply]
Hello from Florida. I too found your blog through a link on the nursery post. I was especially interested in the dresser because my sister and I grew up with that very same dresser in our bedroom! We also had a tall dresser and a desk to match. That was back in the 70′s! My neice (she’s 26) still has it. I showed her your blog and now we have big ideas for that ole dresser.
The baby is beautiful. congrats!

Hi Mommy Erin and Ike!
We can’t wait to meet you in person one day, Ike! In the meantime, we enjoyed seeing your picture on the new year card! Thanks! We love following your Mommy and hearing what she is up to at home. How does she have time for all of this? She is one great lady and you are one lucky son! Tell Mommy and Daddy hello and let them get some sleep!
Love,
Chris and Gina

Hi
I am a full time portfolio manager who has a passion for interior design. I cannot remember how I stumbled across your blog but have been hooked since the first read ! I am always amazed by how you and other bloggers find the time to put out a post day after day and be interesting at the same time !!! Love your little one – enjoy every day as they go by quickly. I have 2 girls – 10 yrs and 8 yrs and I look back in amazement at their baby pics and cannot believe how time flies.

Hi Erin!
I’ve been following you since I found all your great work at repurposing Goodwill finds! Your blog is now one of my favorites to read and has inspired me to start my own – will let you know when it is up and running!

Hey Erin! I’ve followed your blog for 6 months maybe?? I think I’ve commented before but I can’t remember! I’m from a suburb of Indianapolis, stay at home mommy of a 2 year old daughter and expecting a baby boy in June! I found your blog somehow through a youtube video of how to fold a fitted sheet (which changed my life). Love your posts and have made your rhubarb cobbler recipe lots of times

Hi Erin! I am Becky, from SE Idaho, and I found your blog via the Baby Center post on your nursery by John and Sherry. I love what you did with the nursery, and it has inspired me to work on my own baby’s room (she is 3 months old, and in our room for now). We moved when I was 8 months pregnant, so I do have an excuse!
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Erin & Ike! Congratulations on your new addition, he is ADORABLE! My name is Tracy, and I found your blog back in November while googling Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas. It was my first formal dinner for more than 4 guests. I love your creative ideas and great recipes! I have been following your posts since then, and won (!) your book giveaway during the holidays! I am a fellow Mainer, and a stay-at-home Mom to 2 children, ages 5 & 3. So nice to meet you, and Welcome to Motherhood!!

Hi Erin! I’m pretty sure I found you after YHL featured your nursery…which is amazing by the way! Congratulations on your little one, he is adorable. I’ve been following your blog since, mostly because I connect with a lot of the things you say. It’s fun to see your projects and progress!
So a little bit about myself….well. I’m married, 31 and live in Montana. I’d love to have kiddos someday so it’s super fun to get inspiration and advice from new (and not-so-new) moms!

Hi!! I found your blog on younghouselove.com. I loved your nursery reveal! I will be a first time mom in May! I am trying to do some DIY projects in our nursery. I love your blog!

Hi from Oregon…I have been spending the last couple days looking at home decor blogs trying to come up with some ideas for my house. I think I found you through Frugal with a Flourish. My husband and I are almost empty-nesters with a daughter in college and a son who is married. No grandkids yet. I’m retired from the State of Oregon. I really don’t have a creative bone in my body, but I am good and copying what I see, so I rely on others to give me ideas. I’m definitely going to bookmark your blog.

I am a lurker but I will come out to say hi! I found you just a few weeks ago through I think Shannanigans post about your Delicious looking peanut butter cake which I plan on making this weekend! You had me at peanut butter + chocolate + cake! So just getting to know your blog!

Hi! Ooh, a baby picture bribe, works every time! Looks like you got plenty of comments, but I thought I would add one more
Just found your blog from Young house love, and I’m definitely going to be adding you to the blogs I read – love it!

Hi Erin! I obviously don’t read everyday, but better late than never! I don’t get a lot of time to read my favorite blogs in between working, chasing a toddler and being pregnant.
I found you via YHL’s nursery crashing. I actually made the book slings – they are fantastic! Thanks for the idea. So glad i found your blog. You’re little guy is ADORABLE.

I recently heard about your blog through another blog (sorry, cant remember which one!) and you’re now a great addition to my google reader.
I don’t have a blog of my own (yet), but I thoroughly enjoy reading everyone else’s– very inspiring!

Hi Erin! I can’t even remember if I found you, or you found me – but I’m glad we found each other! Your articles are such an inspiration – I wish I took such good photos of food as you do. I seriously need to break out my camera’s manual. I’m impressed that you’ve managed to blog so much since Ike was born – he much be a very good sleeper!

Hi! Just started following you this week! Was reading YHL babycenter posts and came across you nursery and immediately added you to my list!
What a gorgeous little guy! Our Layken girl is 4.5 months old and her nursery is still not finished…eeekkkk! Luckily her big brother Gunner (age 6) adores having the bassinet in his room.
Just started my blog a few months ago and have vowed to get it going this year… for cereal!
