This week went sooo sloooow, but all of a sudden we’re at Friday and I for one have a busy weekend ahead with the wedding at the SF Zoo – can I tell you just how amazing it will be? Let’s just say there are giraffe feedings right after the ceremony
How cool!
They say pictures speak a 1000 words, so I think I’ll skimp on the text for this Friday blog, and let the photos speak for themselves. Sound good?
Alice’s Baby Shower:
Her mother in law hosted a gorgeous outdoor luncheon at her home.
Cheesecake bites on the left and AH-MAZING cupcakes on the right – I tried the vanilla which had a surprise strawberry crème center. I die! The bottom photo is my lunch plate: Dijon chicken, roll, mac’n’cheese, Chinese chicken salad, fresh berries.
The onesie decorating station – what a brilliant idea! The stenciling were all hand drawn by Alison, the same girl whose wedding I am coordinating this Saturday. Pretty great huh?
My sis in law sent the hubby and I a faboosh baby package filled with cute outfits and other odds and ends, like this book. I love her ![]()
Christina from Hungry Meets Healthy sent me chocolates – for no reason at all! Talk about warming my heart
She sent me the PB and the Carmel Sea Salt – both from Sweeteeth. These chocolates are unlike anything I’ve ever had. So true to their descriptions and honoring the flavors, like the salt of the carmel and then capscasin in the PB. Wow! Thanks Christina XOXXO
My plate at Sweet Tomatoes. Have to say the best thing on it was the cornbread muffin. The Dreyers fro yo at the end of the meal was also good.
My hubby crashed my daily AM photo. He’s never up when I leave so he doesn’t get to witness my silly outfit-of-the-day shots
What are you doing this weekend?
Any great baby shower ideas for me???
awwww so glad you liked the chocolate!! they are the best. if you have a crazy pregnancy craving and need more, let me know!
happy friday!!! PS, that book looks awesome! you totally will be a milf.
I still can’t get over how sweet you are for sending them! And I gotta say the carmel is the winner of the two
Photo bomb!! I meant to mention this before, but I don’t like Sweet Tomatoes either, which I feel is extremely rare in the blog world. What is it with that place?? My suggestion is to NOT play the smell the diaper and guess the candy game. Gross!
Smell the diaper? ewwww…yeah no diaper games…period!
Yes less is more with games, for sure.
A cute one we did at my cousin’s shower was “baby bingo” where you cross off the gift on a bingo card when the mom opens it so it keeps people involved during the present-opening.
Oh that’s a neat idea Jess!
At the baby shower for my cousin, we played no games. Instead we made scrapbook pages so all the new Mommy had to do was add the pictures. It kept everybody talking. Also it was nice because the Mom to be lives a couple hours away so the activity gave her more time for speaking with everyone!
Another great idea! I like the collaborative things..that’s the way my friend’s onesie station was and loved it!
Dreyers??!! Yes please!! Was it Smores?! Heehee
You’re looking gorgeous girl, loving the outfit. This Monday is our 3 year wedding anniversary so on Sunday we’re celebrating Part 1 of it. Part 2 will happen in a couple weekends for the SF Hornblower cruise!
Hope you have fun this weekend at the wedding!
Ooo I want to hear details on the anniverary plans part 1. Let me know how the hornblower cruise is — I hear they have brunch with endless mimosas
hahaha that’s quite the photo op for the hubs
that luncheon looks so lovely!
Haha, I totally thought that you had your husband take your outfit photos for you! Go figure. Those onesies are adorable- and a great idea!
Nope, I’m bff with my camera self timer
Those onsies are super cute! I’ve only been to traditional showers, nothing too creative, but they were still fun!
For my cousin’s baby shower we had a little note in the invite telling people to bring your favorite children’s book growing up to add to (insert baby name)’s book colletction. It was really cute & we asked that everyone write a little note for baby (insert name) to read in the future. I thought it was a really cute idea..and I know that my cousin loved it!
Alice had that at her shower Holly and I’m totally stealing it and doing a variation — i thought that was so cute
Those are some awesome looking cupcakes
Nothing much planned this weekend except relaxing from a busy week of exams!
Have a great weekend!!
That baby shower looks amazing, and I love the title of that book. Thats awesome!
So you take your photos by yourself every morning? So fancy!
Baby shower looks AWESOME – I’m interested in pics of the wedding you are planning this weekend
CUPCAKES! You are looking SO good
Love your nail colour! So pretty!
I’m attempting school work this weekend but it’s clearly not working ha.
OMG the onzie idea is seriously brilliant and so adorable im definitely keeping that in mind!
The onsie station is SUCH a good idea! And those cheesecake bites? Yikes, I could go for that entire plate.
