Megan's Baby Shower

This past Saturday I got the privilege to host one of my best friend Megan's baby shower. I am soooooo excited to meet Baby Fred and give him tons of cuddles.


Here are the pictures from the shower.

The Food

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the Mommy-to-be so you will have to check out Meg's blog later this week to see any baby bump pics.

Pinterest Projects : Cow Cake

So this Pinterest project I found for Makenna's 3rd Birthday.

If you don't remember, Makenna wanted a Cow themed Birthday for her 3rd B-day. And what she wanted most of all was a cow cake.

So what does any mama with limited time and limited original creativeness...she seeks out the help of her dear friend Pinterest.

And as a result she ends up pinning this cake.

Which turns into her creating this cake.

Which made for one happy birthday girl!

Pinterest Projects : Tile Coasters

So this project happened to be another Christmas gift that I made for my sister and my friend Megan.

Now I know that some of you reading this will probably think wow that really isn't that impressive or blog worthy. And you might also be thinking wow I saw that idea a long time ago somewhere else and not at all on Pinterest.

Well, it was a new idea to me. I found it on Pinterest. And was pretty excited about the results. And I think the gift recipients thought they turned out nice too.

Homemade Tile Coasters

These were very easy and inexpensive to make. Plus like I said above they turned out super cute. And once again I'm bummed that I didn't take any pictures of the actual ones I made.

Pinterest Projects : Vases

I don't know about anyone else but I love, love, LOVE Pinterest!

I get so many great ideas from the website. I pin a wide variety of stuff that I hope use as inspiration or just plan try to recreate at some point.

So I thought that it might be fun to keep tack of all the ideas/pins that I have attempted to recreate.

That being said here is the first of hopefully many Pinterest Projects posts.

The first project takes me back to December. I made some vases for my sister as a Christmas present. Here is the link of the vases that I found on Pinterest. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of the actual vases I made my sister. I will say thought that I thought that they turned out very similar and they were very easy to make.

There you have it Pinterest project post number 1 is finished.

Rachel's Baby Shower

A while back I got the privilege to help host a baby shower for my good friend Rachel.

Let me just say that almost exactly a year ago I helped host a bridal shower for her. (Needless to say Rach has had some wonderful major life changes in a rather short time.)

All that being said I love to plan a party. I love finding ideas on the internet from what other people have done. Pinterest has been great for inspiration.

Now back to Rach's shower. We decided to go with a 'Sweet Baby Girl' theme done all in pink. Let me just say this was very fun and easy to plan. We decided to do all sweet food in a miniature/baby size. As well as making it all pink.

The decorations were very easy too because pink is an easy color to find a wide selection of products in. We decided to do a baby clothes line, pom poms, diaper cake, and flowers (made from socks and burp rags. Thanks Jamie for the idea.)
