Sweet & Simple: A Diaper Shower for 3!


I have this most amazing group of mommy friends and
I get the honor to spend EVERY FRIDAY with them too! 

They are my Play Group Besties, aka, lifesavers!

All of our little ones are within 4 months of each other.
There are 7 mommies and 8 toddlers (I have the twins).

We have been together for over a year now 
and always have the best times together! 
Our little ones are even becoming the best of buddies!

These mommies always know how to lift you up!
They always have your back!
They always make you feel sane!
They never judge!
They always go with the flow!
They are willing to help you in time of need!
They are always willing to meet!
It works...It's easy...It's simply, PERFECT!


As of December, there were 3 out of 7 of us expecting!!

Left to Right:
Me, Expecting a boy on February 16th
Shayna, Expecting a girl on May 3rd
Erin, Expecting a boy on February 1st

The remaining four mommies decided they just had to throw a 
celebratory dinner and diaper shower
 to honor these new little play group pals!

So a sweet and simple dinner party was planned and the invitation was sent:

Invitations through Punchbowl.

The girls choose a quaint little eatery in downtown Edmond, OK,

It was the perfect spot to have an intimate dinner party for 7!
We all gathered in the upstairs private dining room where the girls
had a table set up with three personal diaper cakes along with a personalized
menu of meals we would each be receiving once the little ones arrived!



The three of us felt very special and it was the perfect way to 
celebrate our upcoming arrivals! 

The girls treated us to an amazing meal!

When it was time for dessert, they brought out a display of petit-fours!



There were three types of petit-fours topped with chocolate ganache,
one for each bundle of joy!

Vanilla: Decorated with a blue elephant, for my baby boy to-be
Stawberry: Decorated with a pink heart, for Shayna's baby girl to-be
and
Chocolate: Decorated with a yellow giraffe, for Erin's baby boy to-be


It was a wonderful evening filled with lots of laughter, good food and great fellowship!

Sweet,simple and as always, 
PERFECT!

God has blessed me with many blessings thus far, 
and these girls are one of them!


**WE HAVE BABY NEWS**
Erin delivered her second son, Griffin, on December 27th!
He was born early (34wks) but Mommy and baby, Daddy and Big brother are doing great!

I am NEXT!
EEK!

Cookies & Milk Baby Shower

I found this super cute baby shower idea! Actually, I think it could be a cute party idea for a birthday or get together with family and friends or anything really! This can be done very inexpensively too. Make your own cookies but display them in unique jars. (Borrow from your friends and neighbors) Make your own labels on your computer using cute craft paper. Buy a half dozen extra large balloons from your party store. Take away bags can be bought in bulk from a craft store for under $5. Etc...

I had to share...

Lifesaver Pacifiers

Today a friend asked me if I had any cute ideas for party favors for a baby shower coming up this Sunday.

This is what I told her:

- Fill a small, clear, plastic favor bag (or small, clear take-out box)
with pink or blue jelly beans 1/2 way
- Tie bag closed with a pink/or blue polka dot ribbon
(for box, tie to handle)
- Thread one side of the ribbon through lifesaver pacifier (see directions below)
- Tie a bow around lifesaver pacifier allowing it to dangle in middle of bow

**At the baby shower, have these candy dishes lying around!**

Such a fun,cute and creative idea!
Your guests will sure to take notice!

    Directions for lifesaver pacifiers:

    1. 1
      Unwrap all the Lifesavers.
    2. 2
      Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole.
    3. 3
      Grab a jellybean and place one of the short, ROUND ends in it, so the length of the jellybean is coming out of the hole.
    4. 4
      Flip the Lifesaver over.
    5. 5
      On the other side, take the frosting and make a slightly thicker (yet still on the thin side) layer of frosting around the inner hole/center, and place another Lifesaver perpendicular attaching edge of 2nd Lifesaver to center of 1st Lifesaver with jellybean attached to it.
    6. 6
      Place on flat surface and allow to dry.
    7. 7
      After drying for 3-4 hours, thread ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot.
