"Oh What a Journey" baby shower

A few weeks ago I co-hosted a shower for my BFF Carly celebrating her "journey" to motherhood. Shanna and her brother Marv did a FANTASTIC job catering the food. Seriously, first class stuff! I got off easy and was in charge of the decorations/invitations/favors.


I made this chalkboard banner for the shower and now it's hanging in my living room. Not going to lie, it was my favorite bit that I made.

Mustache Bash!

A couple months ago I helped throw my friend April a baby shower (her crazy cute little boy has since arrived) but I couldn't resist showing you how adorable her shower turned out. I had nothing to do with the food (I can eat with the best of them, but coming up with menus is not so much my bag if someone else is willing to take that on), but I was in charge of the decor and theme. I'm not going to lie, I L-O-V-E-D it!

 I started with this PERFECT invitation:
The seller is bnute (the invitation is available as a digital download on ETSY) and you guys, I'm not being perked or paid to say this but I was extremely impressed with this shop! The invites are creative and the turnaround was within 24 hours from placing my order. I will absolutely be using this shop again!


Candy Bar party favors! The sign says "Thanks for coming! If you 'mustache' please grab a bag a sweets!" Get it? Mustache? Must-dash?!

April's mom and Grandma put out an ah-mazing spread of food!

Seriously, how adorable is this girl?

See the "floating" mustaches? I'm not going to lie, that was my favorite of all my ideas.

Even the sonogram we framed had a mustache. I don't mess around with themes.


I had this at my shower too and loved reading through all of the great (and often hilarious) advice from friends and family.

More mustaches of course! That is the mom-to-be on the left and the dad-to-be on the right.

Thank you so much for letting me a part of such a special occasion April!

And then she was one.

Last month (um...a full month ago already!) we celebrated C's birthday. We invited our family and close friends to come celebrate our funny little redhead with some cupcakes and lemonade. Because I am terribly, TERRIBLY overdue in getting this posted I am going to heavy on the pictures and light on the text. Enjoy!












Noelle and C's cousin Connor (they're only 2 weeks apart in age!)


The birthday girl and her mommy

I made her little lemon top for her party and grabbed some hot pink bloomers from the thrift store to save myself the extra work.



Hi, I'm Connor and I'm adorable.

Post-party, feeling exhausted and ready for a long nap!


lemon cakes, turkey pinwheels, mini fruit pizzas, hummus, cupcakes...

So grateful for our friends and family who came to celebrate! Across the tv you can see the photo banner I made of pictures of C from ultrasound to today!

Her favorite Aunt Carly




Cotton Candy favors!


My SIL made C the sweetest little ruffle dress and matching headband!

C had plenty of little friends to help play with her presents


Time for the cake in the bib I made her...which turned out MUCH too large! I think I was sleep-deprived when I was making it...

C wasn't too impressed. She doesn't like her fingers getting dirty so there was no crazy cake-smashing and rubbing the icing all over her face...

This is as messy as she got...
