My Favorite Gift for a New Baby

July 12, 2016 · 4 Comments

My Favorite Gift for a New BabyWhen you get the announcement of a new baby amongst your group of friends or family, you can’t help but get excited. Then comes the uncontrollable urge to buy every adorable piece of baby clothing! Baby shower registries are perfect for picking exactly the style of products you want for your new bundle of joy, but along with the gifts soon-to-be parents know they’re getting, I love gifting a new baby something that is a bit more personal and unexpected. For my cousin’s adorable puppy and storybook baby shower a few months ago, we kindly asked each guest to bring a book instead of a card. And that’s when I fell in love with not only my favorite gift for a new baby, but children’s storybook.

I gravitate towards any gift, particularly for a child, that is inspiring, motivating, or stimulates creativity. So naturally I was instantly drawn to the title of “What Do You Do with an Idea?” by Kobi Yamada. You automatically know this book has a good message, perfect for a growing child. The images are simple yet beautiful, but it’s the wording and story of this book that I just love. It’s about a little boy who has an idea and the empowering of message of never letting any idea disappear. No matter how big or small an idea, it can grow to become something truly amazing. I’ve grown to love it so much, that I’ve gifted it to every new baby in my life so far, and even myself. Even J fell in love with this book, and demanded his niece on the way be gifted with it. You can see why it’s easily become my favorite children’s book, and gift for new babies. My Favorite Gift for a New BabyMy Favorite Gift for a New BabyAlong with this beautiful storybook, my favorite baby gift is an inspiring art print. I painted a quote from The Giving Tree, my cousin’s favorite book, for her baby boy’s nursery and found the loveliest quote for a baby girl on Pinterest. I love to paint, so these baby gifts are very personal to me, and something little ones can cherish forever. If painting isn’t your thing, Etsy has an amazing collection of art, perfect for a new baby. My Favorite Gift for a New BabyMy Favorite Gift for a New BabyIf you’re looking for something special to gift a new baby, pick up these items, they’ll be sure to melt everyone’s heart!My Favorite Gift for a New BabyMy Favorite Gift for a New BabyWhat are you favorite gifts for a new baby on the way?

    I would have so loved these gifts when I had my babies! So much better than a gift certificate or clothing! The calligraphy is lovely and almost makes me want to have a baby to hang up in the room!!!!

Physically, I’ve been here on this foggy & rainy Physically, I’ve been here on this foggy & rainy Sunday ... Mentally, I’m sailing along Porto’s Douro River feeling the warm golden hour sun, the bustling winds & picturesque sights⛵️

If you want to go on a little mental trip w. me, head over to the the Blog to read more about my lovely sailing trip in Porto. Sailing is one of my favorite ways to explore a city🤍🌊
Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates Always embracing the subtle beauty that saturates the simple things🤍

I’ve found the less I share on social media the more authenticity thrives. The ever-dream & idea filled mind grows & flourishes. It’s been comforting knowing that other creatives I’ve admired for years, both event related & not, have in part felt the same. When one creative outlet was paused, the other creative ideas that had been hibernating in the mind, quietly waiting for their time, began to shine brighter & brighter. Yes, it’s been comforting feeling that commonality in change & perspective...

But the one thing that’s never changed for me, is celebrating the beauty in the simple things. Giving a new home, a new form of life to a simple treasure. Those subtle everyday moments that are beyond inspiring...
Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, may it b Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, may it be virtually or safely together...I hope you all make the most of your spring weekend🌿
“I’m in no hurry; the sun & the moon aren’t, “I’m in no hurry;
the sun & the moon aren’t, either.
Nobody goes faster
than the legs they have.
If where I want to go is far away,
I’m not there in an instant.

I’m in no hurry. What for?
The sun & moon aren’t in a hurry: they’re right.
Hurrying is believing people
can get past their legs,
or that, jumping, they can land
past their shadow.
No; I don’t know how to hurry.
If I stretch out my arm,
I get exactly where my arm gets --
not even a centimeter farther.
I only touch where I touch,
not where I think.
I can only sit down where I am.
& that’s funny, like all really true truths,
but what’s really funny
is that we’re always thinking something else
& we live absent from our reality.
& we’re always outside it because we’re here.

Não, não sei ter pressa.” -- Fernando Pessoa 

I've come to realize that my path is a slower one, albeit scenic, but slower. So when time feels like it's whirling by faster than a blink, like March felt, at least for me, it certainly makes me feel a bit on edge. Anyone else?

But I'm reminded of the sun,
the garden, the bees & the blooms,
how their slowness welcomes full
& brighter days ahead🌿
