Around this time last year, we were on our favorite little Mexican island of Isla Mujeres celebrating my 30th birthday. I went through a whole lot of emotions approaching my 30th because I was saying goodbye to my twenties and thinking about a new decade ahead of me.
I remember sitting in front of my birthday cake making a HUGE wish — or as I’d like to think of it — a bold prayer. Throughout that week, I read two books that impacted me deeply. One of the books stated, “Sometimes we’re so afraid of making a mistake we never take hold of what all He has for us. We focus on being safe and staying on the straight and narrow so much that we miss out on what God truly wants — which is seeing us grow into all He created us to be.” I boldly prayed for God to grow me into all He created me to be and in that same prayer, I prayed that His plan would include being pregnant in my 30th year.
So here I sit, writing a post to reflect the pictures of our sweet Willow Rose’s nursery. God knew then and His plan far surpassed anything I could have ever wished or imagined. He knew all along the right timing and knew when our hearts would be ready for this new journey, and He reminded me of this on our trip out west to Colorado this past summer. That trip was incredible in more ways than one and we have a little souvenir to show for it. Wink, wink!
Naturally, we went with a mountain theme for our nursery following that amazing trip to Breckenridge. There are so many special, handmade elements in Willow’s room. I made the mobile hanging over Willow’s crib, and Ryan made the wood wall and the triangle shelves with help from his friends Matt and Justin. The blanket draped over the crib was a gift from Amanda, a friend and former co-worker. The custom-engraved mountain cut-outs and paper flowers were part of the decor from a sweet shower thrown by my friend Kelsey, and the sign hanging above Willow’s crib was made by our very talented friend Meredith (be sure to check out her work here).
We love how the new room has come together, and we’re excited for you to see it, too! (Scroll to the bottom for a full list if you’re looking to buy!)
