Preparing for a Little Traveler!

My husband and I decided at the end of 2013 that it was time to have a baby! So we are due in December of 2014. How will this change our traveling ways? Well....we only got to go on one 5 day cruise this year and a quick trip to Springfield, Illinois. Next year, we will be going on an Alaskan Cruise and taking our 7 month old. That blog post should be exciting! Until then, we wanted to show you some highlights from our Travel/Adventure themed baby room as well as baby shower. I love the movie "Up," so some of the things we have is inspired from that movie, but for the most part, we came up with a lot of the ideas ourselves. We love it and look forward to the Baby arriving!

We bought this "Up" House on Etsy and built and painted it. Then we had a Taco Dip Bar at my baby shower so people could make their own 7 layer Taco Dip!

We stuck with the theme of the movie and I had this Cake ordered. Shugs Cakes out of Avon, did a FANTASTIC job. It was pumpkin and vanilla and everyone loved it. 

Another view of the cake. Delicious!

Here is our nursery:

"Up" house with 3D Balloons along with Dug!

Our dog is also ready for the Baby and here is some more of our travel theme.

To top it off, we have these beautiful maps to help our baby see all the places he or she will go. That is right, he or she, we don't know what we are having!
