Pay it forward....

I am not sure of all the principles of Pay It Forward.  But, I can say that all of my friend's overwhelming generosity with baby/kid things makes me want to do the same for others.  I love seeing Trevor in an outfit that I can say was given to him by Justice and to be able to see Christopher on FB in one of Trevor's cute shirts.  It takes a village and I have such wonderful people in mine!  Take Trevor's room, for example.  We have 2 bookshelves from Nanny and this awesome big boy bed and PB linens from Susan.

I think that a hodge podge room has so much more character than a single theme, and its much cheaper!  The central theme is a palate of colors, some monkeys and geometric shapes but it is a very broad concept. 

The most expensive thing in the room is the chair.  Trevor was 7 days old and had acid reflux so he would only sleep on my chest.  I was desperate to get some sleep and the Lazy Boy chair moves in 2 pieces in the back of the CRV.  No waiting for delivery, load it up!  I don't care that it is $700.  Yikes!

Trevor's "Balloons" above his crib are just embroidery rings with extra fabric from

his railing bumper stretched over them

Thomas' big boy bed with Nanny's bookshelf makes for a fun little captain's bed.

I had bought the clock with decals that I put up in our old apartment so I used new decals to create a new clock face to put our wall clock back up.
