Baby birds are ugly and cute all at the same time.

I have baby birds on my front porch and I think they are adorable. They are actually on the railing, so we can get really good looks at them. I don't think I've ever seen baby birds so close. Walker is loving checking on them every day and the day they hatched I asked my neighbor to come over with his fancy lens and take some pics of them. If you shake the vine around their nest a little bit, they all pop up with their mouths wide open, waiting for food. Mama bird sits on a branch not too far away and makes as much noise as she can until we leave, but I think she's starting to warm up to us and realize we are not going to hurt. I can't wait to see them when they start trying to fly.

  2. We have baby birds too - in our condo's back porch roof the grated layer between our porch and the one on top of us. I can't see them, but hear them each morning from our bedroom!

  3. We had a nest above our light on our back porch last year. My husband was outside grilling and the mama bird kept swooping in and trying to attack him!! Plus, birds happen to be my biggest fear...so it was a rough summer :)

  4. That is an incredible picture! We have a mother bird on our window sill right now but I doubt I could get a picture like that one!

  6. Super cool pic, Wendy! Just a thought, and not a very happy one, but look out for snakes! I interrupted a black snake that was climbing up the side of my parent's house trying to get to some baby birds. I was amazed that it could climb like that...and absolutely horrified. I imagine the porch would be a cake walk. I hope they remain undiscovered.

  7. Incredible picture...I can just "hear" those baby chirps when I look at it...we are hearing a lot of birds down here in south Georgia (amazed that they aren't coughing on the pollen...)

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
