Sunday evening, my family welcomed my sister’s second baby into the world. We didn’t know what she’d be having, so the event was even more exciting! My youngest sister Brooke shot everything on her iPhone and put together a video that makes me cry every time! I thought I’d share the idea with you, because it’s really as simple as an iphone and an app.

Today I’m excited to share with you a really great service that is an alternative to registering for baby items. Deposit a Gift is a cash gift registry site that allows your friends and family members to give while still allowing you the flexibility to choose what and when you’ll purchase items for you little ones. For new moms, you could use the registry for big ticket items like a stroller, crib or nursery design. You’d also be free to get unique wish list items like perhaps a newborn/maternity session, metallic loafers (I die) or even handmade Etsy items.

The registry is great because if it’s your first baby, you don’t have to fill your entire house with the full range of baby items you might get at a shower, but rather take your time buying necessities as your baby grows. Also, if you’ve already got all the basics from your first one, Deposit a Gift allows you to use the registry for activities, like a mommy massage, services, or diapers.I also love the idea of using the registry for baby announcements!

Yep. Cute with a side of cute. The fabled blue zebra, which only exists in the world of fairy tales, stopped by for a visit. Then it got caught by an over zealous designer and landed itself in this nursery. But it’s okay. Fantasy precludes us from getting too choked up.

I heart cobalt blue (and I never thought I’d hear myself say that!)

Creative backdrops for cribs can be kinda tough to come by. There’s all that blank space that you’ll be staring at all the time. Love love love this idea from Birch and Bird via The Boo and the Boy.
