cool finds


1. Pop and Lolli Wall Decals - super cool fabric wall decals that are removable!

2. Tripp Trapp High Chair - we have this and eventhough he hasnt used the chair, we love the design and the function that it grows with him!

3. Jelly Cat Corduroy Animals - we have the hippo (thanks auntie Gina!) and its so soft and cuddly. Check em out!

4. The Alto Rocker - dang I wish I had $800 to spend on that!

6. Modern Bamboo Mobile

jacks baby shower

we had a great time at the shower last month. i wanted to show you a few fun things that made the day extra special and kept my theme going.

The shower invites had his hippo on it

the favors were easy - candy bags with paper tab tops that were sealed

the backside

my friends sister made the cupcakes...delish by the way. but using mini clips as toothpicks, i added these hippo cards to keep the theme going

the nursery

Designing a new nursery is kinda hard and tricky!

1. What you think you will have in the end, isnt 100% what you figured.
2. finding stuff thats not "uber baby" for a room that you dont want "uber baby" is hard! most nursery things are well, for a baby! My stepmom made all the textiles so that was fun picking fabrics and making the room our own.
3. you wish you had an unlimited budget!
4. just roll with it and it will turn out great!

Heres how Jacks room turned out:




OH and how adorable are these handmade gifts I got at my shower to complete the room

Hippo pillow (also had bibs!)

My stepmom made these adorable J A C K pillows


New mom - almost

Welcome to The Mod Tod. Im a graphic designer who has been freelancing for Bath and Body Works for 4 years. Ive got a background in printing and LOVE finding inspiring design. Since becoming preggers, Ive been searching cool kid things and crafts. I figured Id share what Ive found to inspire other moms (or soon to be mommies)!
