Adventure Awaits Baby Shower

Behind every successful event are hours of meticulous planning – from decor to menu to activities. The process for my “Adventure Awaits” baby shower was certainly no exception and I can’t wait to share how beautifully it all came together. Shortly after finding out that we were pregnant, I couldn’t help but begin planning the…

There’s a Baby Girl On The Way!

After a little break from baby arrivals, cousins RCL and NL recently announced that they’re expecting a BABY GIRL! Bean (RL) has always been the honorary third sister, so you can imagine how excited I am to see her have her first little girl.  Every year, for as long as I can remember, mom and…

It’s a Suprise! Neutral Crochet Quilt

When JDB and JB announced they were expecting, naturally, the entire family was over the moon about the little one to be and I, immediately began envisioning my next crochet project.  After months of nightly crocheting for Baby Olivia and Baby K last winter and spring, I had to take a short hiatus  (my hands…

Garden Gorgeous: Styling the Mommy-to-Be

Perfectly Rosy Cupcakes

Whether you’re making cupcakes for an upcoming bridal shower, birthday party or just because, I can’t think of anything lovelier than presenting a tray of edible roses. For JY’s baby shower a few weeks ago, Sis was tasked with making cupcakes for the Sweets & Candies Table.  After furiously googling “pretty pink cupcakes” for inspiration…

MY Crochet

Growing up, we were blessed to have a super crafty mom. From painting to crocheting, she miraculously knew it all and thankfully, I picked up a few skills along the way. After JY broke the news that she and AM were expecting a little one almost 6 months ago (amazing how time flies), I naturally…
