Cedar Jane's Nursery Tour

Well, baby Cedar will be arriving in 36 hours, so what better way to celebrate than to show off her nursery that I have spent months planning for her!

If I'm being honest with myself, I think I worked so hard planning her nursery because it felt like giving her a "normal" room would somehow help me forget that her situation is not "normal." I just want her to feel like any other kid in any way that I can, and giving her a beautiful nursery was one way I could do that.  Weird, I know.

Anyway, if you want to see a full video nursery tour, you can check it out HERE onYouTube.  Sources for everything in the nursery are listed at the bottom of this post.

The wallpaper was the inspiration for the entire room.  I knew as soon as I saw it on Etsy that it was meant for Cedar's room!


I know it's a little cheesy, but I wanted to incorporate a cedar tree print into her room, and this one just fit perfectly with the vibe I was going for!  Her Etsy shop had an inspiration image that had similar eyelashes, and so I had to copy!



I wanted something really bold and graphic for her crib sheet that wouldn't compete too much with the wallpaper.  I knew this personalized sheet would do the trick!


From the minute I saw a Juju and Jake braided crib bumper, I knew I had to incorporate one into Cedar's room.  I love how fun and unique they are.  You can get them for one side, three sides, all four sides...pretty much any way you want!  They also make adorable knot pillows!



My friend Ty got me this Z Gallerie deer head when I was pregnant with Riley 5 years ago.  I have used it in different way in all three nurseries I have designed!  For Cedar's nursery, he got painted lavender!



I love that her room can grow with her.  I'm not into really baby-ish rooms.  Using neutral furniture has allowed me to keep all the main pieces and use them for all three kids, including the crib, rocking chair, and dresser.


A look at the other side of her room.  I'm excited to change up the sayings on her letterboard, surprise her with Happy Birthday messages and whatnot.  I'm so cute. **eye-roll**


OK, so this bunny is made by Scentsy and it SMELLS!  Like, smells amazing.  Who knew they even made those?  It makes her whole nursery smell nice!


The MamaRoo won't live in here when she gets here.  I assume we will move it down to the living room or wherever we will spend the most time, but we'll see!

Also, I will clearly replace the random people in her photo frame with a picture of our family or a cute saying.  I just can't decide yet what I want to put in there...


My Instagram husband hard at work, helping me video my YouTube nursery tour!  Love this man!


I am in love with her room AND of course with her.  I can't wait to meet you on Thursday, Cedar!  We are so excited for you to join our family.  Sometimes your dad and I just sit in your room and just talk about you for a long time.  I am looking forward to snuggling with you in the rocking chair, watching you sleep in that crib, and yes...even change your diaper on the changing pad.  I look forward to all of it!!

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

Cedar's Blessing Day

In our church, it is common practice for a baby to be be given a name and a blessing in church during their first few months of life.  This blessing is usually done by the baby's father.  (For more info on what a baby blessing entails, click  HERE ). Cedar Jane Faulk was blessed by her father on July 1, 2018.  We wanted her to be blessed when my parents could be there (my dad flew in from Shanghai), and as an added bonus, Daniel's parents were given permission to come home from their LDS mission in Orlando for a long weekend to attend the blessing!  It was very special for her to have both sets of grandparents there, as well as most of my aunts and uncles, sisters, and other friends. I will admit that Daniel and I felt a little bit of added pressure over this blessing as compared to our other kids' blessings.  It is common to hear babies blessed with things like health, marrying in the temple, etc.  For Cedar, all the "normal" things like that sud...

So I Was in a Show...

When I got back from Dubai, I was B-O-R-E-D.  I was looking for work (since my time at Ecker Hill Middle School ended when the normal teacher came back from sick leave) and nothing was coming up.  I was a stay at home wife. Not cool. So, I decided to audition for a musical-- Lucky Stiff .  It was my first audition in the Salt Lake Valley.  I doubted I would get in the first show I auditioned for since I knew no one in this part of Utah and I assumed it was probably even more competitive than in Provo. Regardless, I went for it...and got the lead female role!  I was shocked, not only that I had got cast as a lead but also that I got cast as the ingenue!  I tried to think back to all the parts I had previously played and I could not think of one role that would be considered an ingenue role.  I'm always the villain or the quirky weird character, which has always been fine because those are great roles to play.  For example: My senior year i...
