Baby Shower

The baby shower last night was for Katie, my partner in crime.

Her nursery is decorated around the book The Giving Tree, so with that our baby shower theme was born.

I kept it simple. Katie can see right through me and I knew she would not be happy if I went all out.

Did I mention she didn't want a baby shower in the first place?

It's not her first baby, but I am a firm believer that every baby is celebrated.

So there.

Here's the table decor. Don't forget to notice those shiny floors! It was a miracle they were done in time.



These were favors for the guests. The apple theme continued with an apple treat inside.



I found a recipe that was basically sticky popcorn, minus the popcorn. You use dehydrated apples and almonds instead.

Much healthier.

Except for the butter, corn syrup, and sugar.

Can we count the cinnamon as healthy?

Maybe not.


It was a lovely shower.

The last guest left my house past midnight.

I have such lovely friends here. My favorite part of the night was when two dear friends pulled me aside and had a bang intervention with me.

You must bring back the bangs they said.

You see, as soon as I cut bangs I started growing them back out. Way too much work I thought.

But I need them. They help shape my face and help take the focus off my overly thin hair.

So as of this morning the bangs are back.

I love a good friend that will tell you how it is. Though it would be better if they focused their interventions on my home remodeling habits instead. Perhaps we should have an intervention party that involves good friends and food that continues past midnight. My girlfriends can help me rearrange some furniture while they are here. :)
