Bored Inc. Review & Giveaway

I love Bored Inc. They are so so so funny, and really have my sense of humor.

They have an awesome POO series.

And Wiener series bahahahaha

They carry purses, totes, jewelry, belts, shirts, onesies, stickers, buttons, wall decals, really cute greeting cards, and SO MUCH MORE.

Bored Inc. sent us some monster wall decals!!! Austin's nursery is almost complete! They sent me a pack of two and I begged asked my dad to buy the other set because there was only ONE LEFT! They both came in a cardboard packaging with the CUTEST drawings on them! I love seeing the time companies will take for their customers! I love cute little surprises :)

Okay here are the pics! Once again I called in the ranks, aka unwitting slave boy Christopher, to help me with the project!

Here's the little green man hanging out above the coat rack and monster bean bag chair!

Here's little blue dude down near the floor playing with Austin and his toys!

And this red guy was supposed to be a little lower and to the right. Grr. Still can't let it go... ;) But I rearranged the monsters and made it work... Notice there aren't any pics of Christopher putting it up, because I was doing something with Austin, and was not supervising the application of red guy.

And this orange fella is hanging out here to read with us in the reading area! See, he's raising his hand! He knows what the dog says, and what the kitten likes...

Cute right?! These decals are so perfect! I really really wish they were reusable, since we're just renting an apartment. Hopefully I'll be able to find them again if we ever move. But the more I find such great things to personalize our apartment (especially Austin's room!), the more like home it feels!

Back40Life Review & GIveaway

Austin's nursery is themed Monsters! I love it! But since we didn't pick and already-made-theme-in-a-bag we have just found things here and there. And as we all know, wall decals are THE nursery decor necessity!

As I browsed Etsy I came across Back40Life. They specialize in vinyl lettering, phrases, and also carry wooden signs. They also live in the good ol' South Carolina, so I know by that alone, they're fab ;)

Here are some of my favorite designs!

This is for the dance floor at a wedding reception. I think that's so smart! That would make for really neat pictures! They have a lot of different wedding reception decorations, and a lot of monograms for your home.

Back40Life has a ton of nursery/kid room designs. I really love these!

Back40Life has a lot of wodden signs to hang around your home as well.

I bet you're dying to see what I got, huh??

Austin in monster letters!!!!!

Back40Life has dozens of colors to choose from. I let Christopher help me out with this one, and he picked Lime. I'm glad he did, I really like it!!

The letters stuck to the paper at first and we had to peel so corners onto the paper that sticks the onto the wall, but it was a couple of weeks before we did this. I'm sure if we had done it "on time" it wouldn't have stuck. But it wasn't hard to do and thankfully Christopher has patience. He had no problem getting the letters on the wall and they look fabulous if I say so myself!

Back40Life has the best customer service, they're really genuinely nice people. But what else do you expect from SC?!

Check out Back40Life's Etsy shop to see what they have to offer. They are also happy to hear from you to do customs! The prices are great as well. Also be sure to check out their blog for updates and awesome offers and sales!

I finally did it! Everything was clean (sorta) and set out, except for the diaper on Austin's butt and an Econobum cover that I have no clue where is... May be my car?

Bumble B's (mommy's) New Purchases

As you know, we are going with the Monster theme for the nursery. Christopher and I are SO excited. I just need to order the wall decals and leave the rest to my oh so diligent registry purchasers. The other day I went to Target with a friend and couldn't resist the dollar section. I mean, COME ON! Who can?! Low and behold, there were monsters! So these new additions are waiting in Bumble B's crib for him. Of course, of course, I'll take them out once Bumble B gets here, but until then, they're keeping his crib warm for him!

I also purchased some really cute Babylegs! Christopher thinks they're girlie because they're leg warmers, but I just think he's silly. He's lucky Bumble B is a boy, because we would be bankrupt on all the cute frilly girl ones. I had a buy on get one coupon code and they offer free shipping, so I couldn't pass the chance up!

I'm definitely getting him a newborn pic in those bumble bee ones! And we bought the bones because skeletons are super duper cool. Ask Bumble B's xray tech mommy. She'll tell you.

And y'all aren't forgetting to vote, right? ;) Just click the banner and close, nothing to it!

Monster Man

For some reason, Christopher and I love all things monster. The monster stuff out there is just TOO CUTE. I'm this close to changing Bumble B's nursery to monster theme, but I already have some stuff that matches the theme I registered for. But if I were to change it... (dream music cue here)


Look at this super nifty nightlight from Target! He's so cute! Kinda scary, but cute ;)

Here's some more of what Target has to offer in the monster category!
Blanket

Pillow

Bean Bag Chair

Night Light


You can always count on Etsy to have something fabulous! Look! Bumble B('s mom) can make his own sock monster doll from katedowding! She has tons of really cool Monster dolls and decor.

IN LOVE WITH THIS DECAL! I star this as my favorite of the post. STAR!


And we all remember the wall decals I featured last week, right? From Bored Inc?


Here are some cool shoes Mommy and Daddy already bought for our little monster from yet again, Target!


Hmmm I'm contemplating it... What do you think?!
