Little Lamb Baby Shower

Last weekend I had the extreme honor of throwing my very best friend a baby shower! With the help of my mom and my other bestie Christina, I was able to put together a perfectly lovely little gender neutral celebration for the mama-to-be. 

I set the tone for the shower with a lovely silver foiled invitation from minted. I felt it was the perfect way to give guests a glimpse of the decor without revealing too much or being too themey. Because the invites turned out so cute I added it to a simple silver frame which added a fun little decor piece and reminded guests how it all tied together. 

When planning a party, I always like to have on focal area or as I like to call it a "party-scape" and for this one, the windows in our dining area worked perfectly. I saw the swinging lamb idea on Pinterest and just had to implement it! How cute are those little guys?! And it ended up being so easy to do! The balloons were compliments of my favorite place on earth, The Corner Balloon Shoppe, per usual.

As far as other decor goes, we used beautiful white flowers throughout my house in cute little buckets and mason jars, added some adorable little gray and white lamb jammies and onesies hanging from the window and incorporated silver, gray and white wherever we could. 

The shower was on a Sunday at 11am so we kept the food light and brunchy. Our mama-to-be has a gluten allergy so we kept everything gluten free and it all came together perfectly. For drinks we did a mini mimosa bar and an arrangement of n/a beverages. The desserts were the cutest little lamb cookies you ever did see by Sometimes I Bake and gluten free vanilla buttercream cupcakes by yours truly. 

 

We kept it real simple and did just one game. We filled gift bags with a baby item starting with the letter written on the bags spelling SHOWER {shampoo, hangers, onesies, wipes, enfamil & a rattle}. The guests tried to guess each of the items by feeling the bags and Libby got to bring everything home for baby! It's super easy and adds some fun decor!

For favors, I found these sweet little mini buckets and filled them with lifesaver breath mints. Super simple, matched the color scheme and something guests will use. 

I'm so happy with how everything came together, but the best part of the shower was definitely getting together with so many fun ladies who love Libby almost as much as I do. We got our Vegas crew back together which was so much fun!

Since our trip less than a year ago, THREE of us have had babies and now our bachelorette is preggers! How fun is that? In fact, two of those three babies were on the Vegas trip as little zygotes and got to meet at the shower!

 It was a perfect day showering my bestie and her lil bun! I cannot wait to become an auntie to this sweet peanut and see Libby become a mama! 

Little Man Sprinkle

Here I am recapping my sprinkle from nearly two weeks ago, why am I always so behind? Anyways, I'm not kidding when I say that as I sit here to write this post, I am tearing up. This day was a dream. My very best friend hosted a beautiful Sprinkle celebrating my little man and the love I felt from my family and oldest girlfriends was indescribable. It was just so fun! I woke up feeling really good, I got a great blow out from the Wow Bar that was blasting Backstreet Boys, Libby had all my favorite foods, and my favorite people were there. Girlfriends are good for the soul and the 14 ladies who made time to come celebrate Ziggy are some of the best there are. It was so lovely and so fun and I wish I could do it every weekend.

pretty sure I ate every last one of these green olives.

my favorite detail from the sprinkle...weenies! haha!

My gorgeous bestie and her beautiful mama who worked so hard putting together the perfect morning for me.

And, both my mama and my baby sister came home for the Sprinkle which meant more to me than they'll ever know! It would have been so sad not to have them there!

My buddy Robyn who was a huge help with the Sprinkle and put together a hilarious game for all of us to play.

My sisters! Ziggy is so lucky {Kenley too} to have such awesome aunties!

And most special and awesome thing ever....when you're pregnant with both your besties!

I'm kind of sad that my Sprinkles are now over. It's so exciting and so fun to have something like this to look forward to! Plus, I got a little blue thinking that I'll likely never have any kind of shower again. WAH! But now I'm just even closer to meeting my little boy and am way more prepared thanks to these generous ladies!

Basketball Baby Sprinkle

Over the weekend, my Beeb Carolyn, hosted a Sprinkle Shower for me and Ziggy. I can't say enough how much this meant to me. I never expected to be celebrated this way with a second baby and I get teary eyed every time I think about it. I really do, thanks hormones! This group of girls was a mix of blog friends, coworkers and the wives of Jason's friends, all of whom I am so lucky to have in my life. I don't know how it is that I have hit the friend jackpot time and time again but I really truly have the best friends in all the world. Carolyn picked the most perfect theme of all time for my little boy - Arizona Basketball, I mean come on! And per usual, all the details were thoughtful and perfect. It was the best day and I'm still riding the high from how special and fun it was.
