Meet Duke
So Saturday was my birthday. It was awesome! (Imagine me saying that in a high pitched squeally voice while jumping up and down and clapping my hands. That’s how awesome it was.)
Brad totally surprised me, which is hard for him to do. (Boy can’t keep a secret to save his life.) My favorite present? A ukulele!! I am so excited! I’ve been practicing my chords all weekend. My fingers are raw, but I don’t care – I’m having so much fun! Anyway, I named him Duke. Duke the Uke.

Funky Chicken
It’s big. It’s green. It rocks. (literally) Say hello to the Green Chicken by Jaime Hayon.
I want one. For the kids of course. Yeah… that’s right… for the kids…

It’s A Boy!
We had our ultrasound yesterday. We’re having another boy! Yay! I’m sure Ezra would have been good with a sister, but we’re happy that he’ll have a little brother to play with.
Not that I need another diaper bag, but isn’t this Schleppbag from Trumpette so cute? I saw it in a cute boutique a couple of months after I had Ezra and regretted not picking it up. Hmm… maybe I do need another diaper bag.

Black + White Nursery
I really like black and white in design, so it’s no surprise that I haven’t been able to get this modern nursery out of my head since I saw it featured on Emma’s Design Blog back in June. I’m particularly smitten with the wall treatments. This room has me considering black + white for the upcoming nursery. We’ll see.

Mid Century Modern Playhouse
Talk about a cool children’s playhouse! It seems as though it would be relatively simple to construct as well, with it’s clean lines and common materials. This modern play home was designed and built by the owner. He wasn’t a builder or architect so if he can do it, that gives me hope! Read more at Atomic Ranch.

Modern Kid’s Jeep Bed
This is such a cute and simple Ikea hack. Using a Vikare bed (painted white) and her custom cut black vinyl decals, Anna created a sleek and modern little Jeep bed for her son. I think it’s darling! I’m also loving the simplistic design of the room. Black + white with pops of yellow? YUM!

Fingerprint Papercuts
Will posting twice today make up for the fact that I haven’t posted since last Thursday? I’ll pretend that it does.
These fingerprint papercuts that D*S featured today are rockin’ my socks. So nifty! (Yes, I use words like nifty. Doesn’t everyone?) They would make great wedding, anniversary, or baby gift. I won’t lie – they’re a little on the pricey side ($150-$350 for custom pieces), but they’re nifty remember?
