Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

Baby Shadow Box

Recently I put together shadow boxes for my two youngest babies, and they turned out so good! I love saving mementos for all important events in my family’s life, the only problem is that sometimes it creates clutter! This was a really neat way to get these things out of a storage box and create something special out of it.

For my shadow boxes I wanted to use newborn mementos to display in my children’s nurseries.

I used hospital ID bracelets, sonogram and hospital pictures, onesies, hospital beanies, and their footprints. I found my shadow box online and used pins to hold everything in place. Super easy to make!

I created this project for my babies but you can put one together for any special occasion.

I know one day when the kids are older they will appreciate these beautiful keepsakes.

    Great idea, and a great way not to clutter with the little things. I can see me doing one in the future for special events.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
