2. welcome baby Finn!

while currently working on my mermaid series of paintings, i received a custom order (my first one in a while....)

about 5 years back, i did a nursery art set of paintings for a sweet baby girl named Fia. well mom loved everything so much that she approached me last week to do their baby boy's name panels as well (and two other coordinating paintings). of course i said YES! besides, cute little animals and bright colors?! right up my alley...;)

below are some peeks of the panels in progress. and a peek at baby Fia's paintings i did...5 years ago!

5. what's better than a set of cute little elephants....?

why a TRIO of cute little elephants, of course ;)

while working on several projects at once, i had an order come in on tuesday night for the nursery art set of elephants i have listed in my shop here
to be re-painted in a pink and gray color scheme to match a bedding for a baby shower gift. well, it was a RUSH order, so to speak. needed to be shipped this coming monday the 4th.

well, after deciding 2 might not be enough as far as the wall space was concerned (the canvases are only 6x6), we decided to add a third one.

so....i introduce you to stella. joined by her sisters bella and ella, of course :)

i had a WONDERFUL time painting these, as elephants are my absolute FAVORITE!

thanks for the order Nubia. so happy you are pleased!

***if you would like any custom nursery art done for your little one, or someone special, please visit some samples over at www.nicolesnurseryart.blogspot.com and www.theenchantedeasel.etsy.com or email at [email protected] and i will surely accomodate you***

6. BeyondBedding - Jungle Time Kids Bedding Set Review and Giveaway

Our house has undergone a few transitions over the past few weeks.  The walls are sparkling, our love seat has been replaced by a side chair, and our flowerbeds no longer make our house look like its been abandoned for the last year.  But the biggest change of all has taken place in the kids bedrooms.

Even though Baby Co is only 7 months old, Bid and Kik have always shared a room.  Lately Bid has thought it was a good idea to jump on Kik's head and wake her up every morning at 6.  So the twin beds have been taken down, rooms rearranged, and bunk beds put up.

All of the rearranging does have a plus side.  I've found that the easiest way to freshen up a room is to change out the Kids Bedding.  And one of my favorite places to shop for bedding is BeyondBedding.com.  I love that at BeyondBedding you can get most of their styles in a variety of sizes.


As a mother of an infant, a toddler, and a school aged child I really appreciate the fact that I can coordinate all of their bedding to make their rooms work regardless of how many times I have to rearrange them.  Here is the Pink and Green Jungle Baby girl bedding, Toddler Bedding, and kids bedding sets.


 As much as I love the girls style, my absolute favorite style is the Jungle Time Children & Kids Bedding Set.  Besides being adorable, it matches the theme of Co's room perfectly.


When I first saw the bedding I thought it would just be a printed design, but each square is embroidered and sewn together.  Co doesn't actually use his bear bed yet - we use it as an extra for when we need to separate the girls - but he loves to sit on it and feel the different materials (i.e. microsuede, courdoroy, etc.)

9. Incredibed Fuzzy Brown Bear Review and Giveaway

When we had Baby Co we swore that he wasn't going to sleep in our bed.  Kik didn't sleep through the night till she was 3 and Bid still comes in our bed all of the time.  At this point my husband and I are willing to try anything to get her to stay where she belongs.

When I saw Incredibeds I thought they might be a perfect solution.

Incredibeds are plush characters that have been transitioned into safe kids beds. There is a T-Rex, a Dog, a pink kitty, and two colors of bears.

There is no wood or metal for the kids to bump into on an Incredibed. The mattress and base rest on the floor and then the Incredibed actually zips up around the mattresses. This is great because the bed sits a bit lower and is safer if kids fall out of their bed at night.

We received a fuzzy brown bear and it is adorable!

To set it up all we did is take the mattress off the bedframe and rest it on the floor. Then we took the pieces of Incredibed and zipped them together.


There are 4 sections that need to be zipped together - 2 sides, the head, and the sheet set.  I love that the bed comes in 4 sections.  If Bid has any "accidents" it will make clean up so much easier. (Did I mention that each piece fits in a standard size washer and dryer)

Our mattresses are from Ikea so they are a bit smaller than a standard twin. But it still looks great! 

Because we are planning on using our Incredibed for a toddler, we also decided to get the Toddler Zipper Bumper Sheet.

The Toddler Bumper Set zips up in place of the normal sheet set. but has a place to insert foam bumpers for added safety.  This combined with the height and plushness makes the Incredibed a great toddler bed - especially if your toddler is having a hard time transitioning.


Bid was SO excited when we set up her bed.  She thought it was the coolest thing ever. 

She's been sleeping in it for about a week now, and I can honestly say that it has made a difference.  With the arms wrapped around her at night she doesn't wake up as often.  And there have been a few nights when she hasn't woken up at all!

10. Wonder Bumpers from Go Mamma Go Designs.

As most of my readers know, I have 3 kids - a 5 month old, a two year old, and a kindergartener.  Right now all of them are going through a transitional period, learning and growing every day.  Baby Co is learning to crawl, sit, and eat like a big boy.  Kik is learning to read and fend for herself in a school environment.  And Bid is learning to use the potty, control her emotions, and be a big girl in general.  Because of this, I thought it would be fun to have an event that highlighting products geared towards these transitional stages.

The first product I want to tell you about are Wonder Bumpers from Go Mamma Go Designs.

All of my children have had the same crib.  It's  in good condition and pleasant to look out, but I still have problems with it.


When Kik was 4 and a half months she would scoot backwards and get her leg caught in between the bars.  She would try to get out herself and would end up with a scraped leg.  With Bid we were ready for the problem and put up a traditional bumper fir a short time.  But because it decreased airflow and made it so she could pull herself up, we quickly took it out.

I didn't want to deal with either problem with Baby Co, so I started looking for solutions on the internet.  After a little searching I found Wonder Bumpers and had to try them out for myself.

Wonder Bumpers are vertical crib bumpers that zip around each crib rail individually.


This leaves space between each rail for airflow, but padding for baby comfort.

 Wonder Bumpers feature
  • 100% Cotton
  • Poly-foam insert
  • Lead-free zipper
  • Machine or Hand Washable
  • And most styles are reversible
To use a Wonder Bumper all you have to do is fold it around the crib rail and zip up.  Most of the styles are reversible so you can rotate the pattern to suit your taste.

Because it matches the color of the room perfectly, we went with the Blue Damask.


To break up the pattern I decided to alternate the solid side and blue damask print.  I love it!  It's smooth and silky, and it looks so fancy!



Because my crib rails are all d
