8 Reasons Why You Should Become An Urban Beekeeper

Mid spring this year McKay added a lot of tiny new members to our family.  It's funny, I got a lot of people messaging me if I was pregnant.  I had to disappoint a lot of people that no a baby wasn't on it's way but 5,000 bees were joining our family.

Art Nouveau and Eclectic Nursery

Amelia is turning two in a couple months and I cannot believe I've never posted pictures of her nursery. Yeah, I'm pretty lame.  Recently I've added some new touches to the room and wanted to share them with y'all.

Some history behind her nursery.  The week I found out I was pregnant, I started to design two different nurseries, one for a boy and for a girl.  When we found out Amelia was a girl, I knew instantly what I wanted to do for her room.  I really love the Art Nouveau period of the late 1800's and early 1900's.  It's mixes nature and modernism and it was one of my favorite periods to study when I was studying interior design classes in college.

I have an antique copy of this book called Mother Earth's Children The Frolics of the Fruits and Vegetables and loved it as a child.  I really wanted to incorporate this book into her nursery decor.  This is one of my favorite illustrations from the book.
