Baby Shower Fun!

I don't usually feature parties on the blog.  But, I'll make an exception for my sweet, little (alright, she's grown now) cousin.  The aunts, cousins & grandmamas came together last weekend to throw an impromptu baby shower and they had some great ideas!

So, let's get into it.

We sort of had a tie dye theme, because lil momma is not that into all things frilly and pink.  I totally feel her on that!  So here's the tie dye table.  My cutie cuz, Chelsea made some rainbow cupcakes & my aunts made some cool things, too.

 Diaper Motorcycle!

I'm sure you have all heard of diaper cakes, but diaper motorcycles are where it's at.  Didn't my Aunt Norm do a lovely job? There is a cute little tutorial here if you are into it.

Money Tree!

Money on a tree is alright with me.  My Aunt Amy put together a darling money tree with baby socks to hold the money.  So cool!

I can't think of a prettier food than these fruit kabobs.  Holy moly!  Great job, Aunt Jean ;)

 To continue the tie-dye theme, we actually tie dyed some onesies for little baby Aurora and hung them on a string.

 There's that cute, lil' momma now.  Congratulations, Sarah!

 Last, but not least, here's an awesome quilt my Aunt Norm made using fabric from other members of the family.

Such a fun shower!  I like that it didn't get too frilly and that there was no gross diaper game where you try to guess what candy is in the diaper.  Ick.  Nobody do that.  Ever.  Ok?

Have a nice weekend!!

Well, hello. This is my first blog post. I have been avidly reading blogs for a few years and decided I need to try my hand at it. Well, I did a wine and cheese pairing party for my Mom's birthday this weekend, so let's start with that. My mom is my best friend and we have been wanting to have or attend a wine based event, but it seems as though there are very few options in our area. So I hit the Internet and made 4 wine pairings based on some googling.

The cheese went over really well, but we did not have the best wines. Most everyone likes a sweeter wine than what we got, but that's okay. Live and learn. I guess I should have sprung for bottles over ten dollars...Well, I'm frugal I guess.
Made a flourless chocolate cake and snickerdoodles for dessert. It was quite tasty.


Thanks for reading my first post! I hope to have more to share this week.
