Candle idea: Smaller tin with your mama’s artwork so we can sample the smells and have a keepsake before we commit to larger size.🎉😊

The transition in color from wet to dry was crazy!

That room will be so cool when he gets bigger. That ‘nursery’ section will be the coolest toy/reading/play nook.

Please consider doing tea lite sized candles so we can sample the scents.

I love the little bookcase, it reminds me of the shape of a tiny grandfather clock 🕰️ with the decorative molding on top. Yes please secure the bookcase to the wall. Little Cade will take on look at it and see a ladder or steps, they love to climb. Anxiously waiting to see the kitchen video on Sunday. Blessings to all!

I waited to install a baby gate thinking that there would not be a need for a long time, and my baby girl, who could not even sit up yet, army crawled to the door, opened it by the bottom and was at the top of the stairs as I had my back turned for a moment in the bathroom.

You think there is time but as soon as you’ll let him lay on a blanket on the floor, you need to start the baby proofing. They surprise you with what they will get into, for sure. Cover the outlets, bolt the furniture, install the baby gates now.

While the price of candles can be intimidating, i do truly believe the price is reasonable taking in all factors. I wish that you did have a sample pack though! Maybe a pack of tealights of all the scents you have so far? If im spending some $$$ on a candle id love to smell them all first so i pick out one ill truly love! 💜

I think it would be a good idea to mount the bookshelf to the wall rn. I'm also on the west coast and the risk of earthquakes keeps me attaching things to walls, just in case! Especially in a child's room ❤️ thanks for taking us with you!

I inherited my grandmother’s little incolay jewelry box. It sat on the windowsill in her kitchen my entire childhood until I asked her as a teen, if I could have it “someday.” She’d put her rings in it when she washed dishes, but she made me take it right then. It’s such a beautiful material and that clock is gorgeous ❤.

I really appreciate that you include your family in your videos. It's great that you show your baby's feet and hands, and stroll around with him. It's refreshing to see an influencer who isn't afraid to show their family in a safe way. Thank you for being yourself!

I just love that little book shelf. The wood looks perfect but I think a really light, cute wallpaper on the back is what it needs. You look so contented now as a mother it really suits you 😊🐨

[phyllisgrossetti]

As soon as I saw the clock I thought it looked like soap stone. I believe it is the same as Incolay stone. Such a sweet little treasure to put on the adorable book shelf. You make DIYS look so easy.
I love seeing baby Cade's little feet. He is a precious little baby boy. Make sure you and Romeo soak up every moment because with a blink of and eye they're all grown up. ❤

[KimLong-odes]

It's the perfect height for the nursery space and looks so much nicer lighter. The gunky feeling always makes my skin crawl a bit but nothing a but of elbow grease doesn't shift

[elizabethsifford]

Such a cute bookshelf! Also seeing you and Romeo taking Cade to flea markets, already sharing the things you love with him is so precious and so joyful! Also I can’t wait to see the next kitchen update! All the love from your fellow Texans🤍

[jackandlill]

I think it would look cool if you continued the wainscotting throughout the rest of the room to get the cohesion your looking for as well as paint it all that second bottom color!! Bookcase is a really pretty piece - it came out great!

Just watched this with my baby, who is 17yo. She told a story about you this week to encourage one of her shy fans (she was Dorothy in Fbg Theater Co's WOZ recently). It was her first day of her first job ever, and you were one of her first customers. She told the little girl how meeting people like you gets easier as we mature and that she was so glad she faced her fear that day because you encouraged her much. She did the same with this little girl. -Mama of six who has mourned the end of every pregnancy too (every season really), but even as I have had huge joy in the new ones too. Soaking in six grandbaby seasons these days, even as my baby girl enters her final year of high school.

Romeo’s happiness for his baby boy astronaut is so special. You guys are the definition of perfect parents

[debihuntsman]

That sweet little bookcase is just so precious in Cade's room. What a beautiful find! And MaCenna, you are looking especially beautiful. Motherhood really agrees with you.

Stating this from a place of concern. Easy off is not meant to be used on porous surfaces. Unlike your oven, which has a non-porous surface, wood expands and contracts depending on the level of heat or humidity in a room. That means that even after you've finished stripping your furniture with oven cleaner, the chemicals stay in the wood, releasing fumes into your home over time.

I love the bookshelf in the Baby's room behind the chair & the ladder in the corner by the door. So happy for you & Romeo & Cade!!❤️
