Aria's First Birthday

Our Aria Celebrated her First Birthday in January!

 

 

I just wanted to share her super cute headband that I designed and made and her super cute outfit by GraceandLucille on Etsy.  

You can order a special outfit by clicking HERE! 

I also wanted to Share this Super Cute Birthday Poster I designed and we had on Display at Miss Aria's Birthday!

I also made my first attempt at an ombre cake and cake topper!  A white cake lemon frosting and lemon cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!  I had lots of fun creating hand made decorations for her birthday party including hot air balloons and highchair decor!

Creative, Practical Baby Shower Gift (That They Will Actually Use & Love!)

I love putting together creative, practical gifts for Special Events.  This last weekend, my cousin and his girlfriend had their baby shower in anticipation of their Baby Girl coming in May!  Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity of putting together something special.  I like to gift things that are practical, that I know thy will use, and especially some of the small things that people end up having to go back to the store for/things new parents may need in the case of an emergency.  It's nice to find things you need in a pinch.  At showers, I know most guests are guaranteed to show up with an endless array of ADORABLE clothes and accessories.  (Who doesn't LOVE the ooh-ing and aah-ing?!)  That, and the larger essentials - Car Seat, Crib/Bassinet, HighChair, BathTub, etc.  Being on a budget, I like to aim for all the small practical things that people might not think of!

Below is a list of the Items I included!

This was more of a Gag Gift that I created for my cousin.  (Though, many of these items can of course, be used!)  my cousin and his girlfriend had a co-ed Baby Shower.  I always like to get the Dad a small gift to make them feel special because much of the attention at a shower surrounds the mother.  This was a one stop shop and super affordable.  He absolutely LOVED it.  It's always fun to give a creative gift that's a topic of conversation!  FUN FUN IDEA!
