Today's Guest I {heart} Naptime

Hey everybody! I’m SO excited to be here today! I’m Jamielyn from I {heart} Nap Time! I’m a hopeless chocolate addict. Sometimes known to eat chocolate chip cookie dough straight from the bowl. I’m a Mama to two chubbies and married to one sexy man. My days are full of chasing my little monkeys, cleaning messes (it’s like shoveling in a snow storm), pinterest, snuggling, avoiding the ever-growing pile of laundry, e-mails, play-dough, crafting and wondering, “Is it nap time yet?!”

Fill with candy, and enjoy your new décor. Remember… if you paint these in a neutral color, you can use them for every holiday! My kind of décor!
