A Woodland Baby Shower

So EXCITED to finally share these photos with you!

Last week we through our friend Jenn an EPIC
woodland themed baby shower.
This is Jenn and Devan's 1st child and
his name is Fawkes (pronounced "fox"),
so we thought a woodland theme was fitting.
Sara and I made a tree in her living room out of brown grocery bags.
The "leaves" were circles cut from scrapbook paper.





Name tags from the same paper.


For dinner we served soup, salad and bread.


I found these PERFECT mugs to serve the soup in.
At 10 cents a piece, I think it was a pretty good deal.


Inspiration for Toadstool Salad came from one of my
FAVE blogs The City Cradle.


The drink station was SUPER fun!
Pier 1 donated the FANTASTIC FOX window decal
that we placed on the wall.


We used clothes pins to attach tea, cider and coco packets
to a large branch.


My FAVORITE straws from Garnish 
in my favorite vintage blue Bell jar. 


The DESSERT island was very yummy.
We had a "Tree of Sweets" where we hung carmel corn in cones
made from the same scrapbook paper.


Porcupine cupcakes.


Owl S'mores from Living Locurto.


S'more cupcakes placed on tree stumps
and covered by glassed domes purchased
at the thrift store for $3. 


Fawkes Food was made up of munchies that Jenn has been
enjoying while pregnant.


Everyone got some Fawkes Food
to take home as a party favor.


This may be my favorite party thrown and DEFINITELY
my favorite pictures from a party!
Thanks Kevin for letting Elisha and I borrow your camera!

  9. It is incredible how much you think you need to pack for your baby on holiday. There are nappies, baby milks, high spf sun creams, bottles, sterilisers, water wings, umpteen changes of clothes and... need I go on? Surely you don't need to pack absolutely everything? But what do you need to take on holiday and what kids and baby product reviewsyou buy at the holiday resort when you get there? We have researched the most popular holiday destinations for which baby products are available abroad and which you're going to have to cram in that case.

  12. Pregnancy is not only most creative and fulfilling phase of womanhood but it teaches you to be more responsible and caring towards yourself particularly with respect to pregnancy diet and nutrition. In the pregnancy period, your baby, whom you are creating with your flesh and blood, is still very much part of your body and for that you need more nutrition intake. During pregnancy, nutritional needs are increased, both to support the rapid growing fetus and to supplement the needs of your changing body structure. best baby cribs

  13. Although your baby will eventually lose his first teeth, it is important to take good care of them. This guarantees that they stay healthy until they are replaced by the permanent teeth. Proper dental care at a young age also helps your child develop good habits when it gets bigger Car seats baby infant

  15. Babies are genetically predisposed to specific personality traits, and once your baby enters this world he or she will begin to exhibit these tendencies. Sometimes from even hours after your baby is born, you will start to notice various patterns in behavior. Until recently, doctors and scientists simply waved away these perceptions about a baby's personality so young. Now, however, they are realizing that these initial intuitions about your baby's demeanor are actually on target and shed valuable insight into the person your baby will become. Baby Dolls

  16. It should come as no surprise to expectant parents that a baby crib is often regarded as one of the most important pieces of furniture your baby will ever own. Think about it this way: between naps, bedtime and playtime, your new bundle of joy will be spending much of her first months within a crib - and you'll want to ensure that it's as safe and baby-friendly as possible! Whether you consider yourself an expert on baby cribs or you've never stepped inside a nursery store before, every parent should have this checklist at hand for determining whether or not that baby crib is a worthwhile buy.
