Little wooden jewelry box

I found this gorgeous little wooden jewelry box at Goodwill this past week. Isn't it cute! I'm thinking it would be a perfect addition to Emma's room. Once naptime hits, I think I'm going to break out the spray paint and see what I can do.

More sparkle toes!

I was looking through some old pictures of Emma, and I found lots of pictures of our pretty painted toes! I just though I'd share on here what cute possibilities there are for Sparkle Toes.

Such cute pudgy baby toes!
There's no place like home, there's no place like home..

Sparkle Toes!

I can't remember where I found this tip, but I love doing my toes like this! It's incredibly easy.
Choose your nail polish color and glitter color. They should be close to the same color (I've never tried contrasting colors, but who knows how it could turn out?)
Paint a base coat on your nail and wait for it to dry.
Set up a work station. You'll need either a paper plate or a sheet of paper. 
Place your foot on your work station.
One at a time, paint your nail, and sprinkle LOTS of glitter on it. Make sure to get every corner!
Pat down the glitter with your finger so it lays flat and sticks to the nail.
When all your nails are done, brush off excess glitter from your skin.
Pour excess glitter back into the container.
It's a little bit messier than a normal manicure/pedicure, but I love the results! So sparkly for summer!
