I kept seeing all of these really cute mobiles on Pinterest and Etsy and decided I had to have one in my little one’s nursery… until I saw the price tag. There’s no way I was going to pay $30 + shipping fees for a cute accessory my baby will likely not care too much about. I knew I could probably make one just as cute and exactly the way I wanted it (to match her room perfectly). I am proud to announce it cost less than $15 to make my own DIY crib mobile and looks just as good – if not better – than a store bought one.
Here’s what you’ll need:
-Arugula + Spinach Mix
-Avocado
-Cherry Tomatoes
(ANY veggies you have laying around or leftover will work)
-Oranges (any fruit will do)
-Bacon (Whole 30 approved bacon is Maverick Ranch)
-1 Egg (or two)
-Tessamae’s Lemon Garlic Dressing
(THIS IS THE BEST DRESSING ON THE PLANET!)
Peel the eggs, rinse, cut ’em open and enjoy!
As I write this, Maddie is officially 38 weeks old—exactly how long she was in utero. “38 weeks in, 38 weeks out.” I’ve been fortunate enough to have an amazing breastfeeding journey with her these past 8.5 months, and while I never envisioned going beyond a year, this weird part of me isn’t ready for it to end in a couple of months.
Is it because she’s my last baby? Is it because it’s actually kind of easy this go-round? Is it because breastfeeding is literally the only thing allowing me to skip the gym AND burn calories? I guess it will remain a mystery… 😉
