A Baby Shower

My friend Kristin and I were throwing a baby shower for a friend this past Friday night. When we came across these adorable cupcakes from Martha Stewart we knew we had our theme for the baby shower. I had never heard of it before but it's called a Nesting Baby shower for the nesting mother. Kristin is the queen when it comes to bake goods and look how fabulous hers turned out!!

Next I started to think about decorations that went all around birds, nest and blue and yellow because our friend is having a baby boy. I made a water bath for these cute little chicks with blue M&M's. (Easter Candy helped me a lot! I found all kinds of great egg candy that matched my color palette)I couldn't have a nesting theme without some beautiful eggs. I decided to use chic white table clothes so your attention was placed where I wanted it to go. Add a sweet birdhouse and some more chicks and I think we have some awesome decorations. I wanted to use lemonade because it is yellow and summer time and you just have to drink lemonade in the summer time. Last and the most important shout out to Kristin for the amazing food!! Seriously I wish she would make my dinner every night.

Baby's room.

I have lived in my new home for about 6 months now. I have also been avoiding my spare room like the plaque. It has been our room to just throw everything in. When my bug guy came to spray my house the other day he told me he got every room but the spare, because...gulp he couldn't even get in the room.

Really you couldn't fit in here? What kind of bug guy are you?

I knew it was time to attack the room at full force. My motivation to get this huge project started was to take pictures of how terrible it is and post them for you! Tada!! You can see the floor!

Now you will get to follow me as I slowly get it ready for sweet baby number 2. Now I know there is still plenty in there. I have to find a place for my food storage and I am having a yard sale in 3 weeks to get rid of the rest and if I can sneak it by my hubby that awful tree size work out machine will go too. He has only used it like 5 times in 3 years, and we are about to join the YMCA.
