Chalkboards, Boos & Booms!

I have some chalkboard news to share! 🙂 Per the request of many, I am going to be making some of my chalkboards available to purchase as prints!
I have done some custom work for friends & a few customers, but finally will be moving forward with making more prints available in my etsy shop! I have some new designs, some will be sayings that could be hung in a nursery, others would be perfect hung in the kitchen and of course, we can’t forget festive prints! I am still finalizing some sizing & print options (clearly you can see what I printed here didn’t quite fit well in my odd sized ikea frame) but hope to have prints available by end of week!
 
 I am going to be offering some MAJOR coupon codes to my blog readers, so stay tuned if you are interested! Also, if you have a saying that you’d love to see available, please feel free to contact me via the link at the top of my blog! 🙂 If you have questions regarding my chalkboards, check out this post for my tutorial as well as this link for some FAQs that I have answered.
In other chalkboard news, I am also going to begin (hopefully a series!) of videos showing some start to finish chalkboards as I draw them! (This will likely include interruptions by Harper, lots of doodling & erasing as I go, as well as a possible beer and snack break, you will witness it all!). Unfortunately, I really don’t have any tricks up my sleeve though, it really just has been a life long love of art & typography that allows me to do them… plus lots of practice. It is a work in progress, but I am super excited to share! Thank you all SO much for all of the sweet comments & feedback on the stuff I have done so far! 
Moving on to the ever so important Boos & Booms of the week!
Boo to daylight savings time! It has officially turned my baby into monster. Her sleep schedule went out the window, I am now up at 6 am and playing “guess-the-naptime” all day. Tips or tricks to surviving this?
BOOM to christmas music! Hello Elf soundtrack for the next two months. Pennies from Heaven… shoe-bee-doo-bee!! 🙂

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to make you a reel but the thought of climbing up there to take this all down again was just too daunting. So you get a static post of the ultimate #shelfie 🤍 Swipe for before & afters, tap for sources!
Did your grandma ever make you a jello poke cake?! Did your grandma ever make you a jello poke cake?! They’re so fluffy and refreshing!! And always our girls birthday cake request! It’s too easy: make a white cake (from a box), poke holes in it with a toothpick, make jello according to directions in a saucepan and pour over top, and then put in the fridge for 3-5 hours to cool and set! Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!
