Have Yourself A Smart Little Christmas
So Luke and I are definitely not what I would consider “techies,” but we did find some fun and pretty basic ways to use technology to help us start moving toward a “smart Christmas” this year. I was really amazed at how simple, affordable and easy to implement (even in our older home) some of this technology is, and how the features go beyond just the cool factor and actually are really practical.

Nautical Nursery
So I have to admit, the thing I was the most excited about when it came to preparing for a baby to join our family was creating the nursery. I had very clear themes in mind for a boy or a girl. When we found out we’d be welcoming a sweet baby boy, it was full steam ahead with a nautical nursery for him. Being a full-time working mama, I had more limited time to work on this, so I started it early (basically right after we found out it was a boy…although I’d started pinning some stuff before that for both boy and girl nurseries since I had themes in mind). I highly recommend this for mamas with a lot of competing priorities (work, other kiddos, etc.) because it allowed it to never become stressful for me. I would pick 1 thing to focus on for a week, or even a few weeks for bigger items/decisions, and it was a really enjoyable, relaxing outlet for me that allowed me time to get excited about and feel close to baby.
