A Baby Shower

So.

My mom is fabulous. I have told you this before. She throws the best of parties and the loveliest of showers. Sunday, we showered one of my favorite friends, Katie. She is due next month and is such an excited little mommy.

They all reside back in my hometown (the sweetest and best small town on planet earth), so I went "home" (it's so hard to determine what to call the house you grew up in once you get married - I always think of both my house and my parents house as "home") for the weekend to help with the festivities. The shower was at "my house" - which actually means, my Mom and Dad's. :)

I took some pictures the night before so I could capture it all before things got messed up.

The shower theme was "Princess" to match Katie's nursery for sweet Olivia.








Party Favors!



These are cute egg timers that say "time for baby"! Awwww....





Check out these cups.



We made her wear this!



This is where she sat to open all her gifts!





I love shower food. Love it.





(Mom has just finished lots of renovations - hence the reason there are no dishes in those glass cabinets and her new kitchen table won't be in for a few months!)







Here is Katie with her mommy and sister.



Here is half of the room.



She had SO many people come and she received an incredible amount of gifts for baby Olivia!! It was a lovely, lovely time. Mom did such a fabulous job making this shower extra special and beautiful.

See where I get my love for entertaining and decorating?! My mom is the coolest.
I am a modern day homemaker with a passion for family, cooking, celebrating, decorating, travel, and memory making! The Lord has blessed me with the desires of my heart in my husband and our two sons. We recently built our dream home and cultivating a loving and happy haven for my family is where I find so much joy.

  6. Looks like a wonderful party! I love planning things like baby showers and wedding showers, too.

    I know I need to update. I'm optimistic that it could happen tomorrow. As I've mentioned, the blank "Create Post" box is so...blank! And white! Plus, usually I go to all the trouble and I get maybe 2 comments so I feel like no one reads it :) haha!

  7. Your parent's house is GORGEOUS!!! I love all the chandeliers. I'd die a happy woman if someone threw me a shower half as nice as that. Your friend is very lucky.

  9. Tell your mom that my family and I will be needing room for 4 people....We can move in at the end of the month if that's okay.

    I love everything that your mom and you did for this shower. Your friend must have been overjoyed. When I saw the first picture of table with the baby chair in the center, I literally said, "AWWWWWWWWW!" out loud.

    Great, now I think I'm ovulating.;)

    If I ever throw a baby shower....I will be copying all of these ideas.:)

    God Bless,
    Amy:)

  15. WOW that looks amazing. You and and your mom did an wonderful job! Its beautiful, all of it.

    And I know what you mean about not knowing what to call home. I only live 4 minutes from my parents (where I gerw up) but when I talk about their house, I still call it my house... I always have people confused but when you live somewhere for 22 years, its hard to not think of it as your house!
