"Mommy to be" Baby shower

When a friend is pregnant it is a time of celebration.  What a fun way to celebrate a new life coming into this world than with a baby shower.  Baby showers are more than a way for new moms to fill up their nursey with baby gear.  Baby showers are a way for friends and family to get together and honor the mom-to-be and the blessing she is bring into this world.

For this baby shower  bought some plates, napkins and tablecloth in the "mom-to-be" theme.  This was not really her 1st baby, but we all like the theme and it worked well for what we were doing.

So now we have a theme, "Mom-to-be" or a pregnant mom with the butterfly as an accent.  We also choose our colors and used pink and purple with green as an accent color.

What would a baby shower be without refreshments?  We had sweet and salty snacks to choose from.  

Decorations

I tried to find the right center piece, but you know the old saying if you want something done right, then you do it yourself.  Well, that is what I did, I made my own centerpiece.  Again I used the cricut to cut out all the shapes.  

The baby's name is going to start with the letter "C" so for some of the decorations, I used a block letter "c".  I also used the butterfly in the theme design to add a little accent.

There is a photo of the mom-to-be's chair with balloons and one of the hand made decoration on the right.

This is one of the decorations I made with my cricut.  I used a 12x12 peace of card stock for my base.

This is another one of the decorations I made with my cricut.  I used this stencil of the "pregnant lady" over and over again in my decorating.  I also gave these pages to the mom-to-be to use in her scrapbook. 

Here is another photo of the some of the decorations. 

This photo shows butterflies with colorful tinsel hanging down.  Bellow on the counter you can see the favors I made for the guest and the "Mom-to-be" crown I made also.

This is the mom-to-be wearing the beautiful "mom-to-be" crown I made for her.

Cake 

The cakes were two butterfly, a mommy and a baby.  I did not make the cakes, a friends husband like to make cakes and he is the one.  It was Italian Cream, the mom-to-be's favorite and it tasted delicious. 

The Baby Blessing

One of the things we like do at the baby shower is to have a "blessings table".  This is where friends and family can write a blessing for the mom and baby.   I had set out a bible and some pre-cut card stock paper for guest to write on.


I also made a box to keep the pens.  Using my cricut I made a pink bag and added a pregnant lady decal to  the front.

If you have any question about how I made any of the items used at this baby shower, please leave me a comment and I will be more than happy to let you know.

Receive up to $50 of personalized Pexagon Technology products for $25!

Purex cookie scented laundry detergent review

As an avid baker, I love the smells of fresh baked cookies.  A house filled with the smell of fresh baked cookies feels warm and inviting.  What if I told you your clothes and linens could have that same smell?  Well, now all your laundry can sell like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, with Purex's new sent Cookie.

 With my two youngest spilling; either on me or on themselves, it can be hard to find a laundry detergent that will get rid of all different stains. Purex liquid detergent  penetrates deep down into fabric fibers, removing ground-in dirt and stains.  Purex also deliveres on it’s promise to leave your clothes bright, white, and clean.   Purex leaves my white clothes whiter, my colored clothes more vibrant, and I don't have stains left on my clothes.

As a Purex insider, I was asked to sample Purex's new Cookie Scented Laundry Detergent.  The new cookie scent leaves my clothes smelling like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.  When I jump into bed, by sheets feel so soft, it is like rolling around in a cloud of chocolate chip cookies.  Who doesn't want their clothes to smell like cookies?

 Purex laundry detergent's new Cookie scent, like all Purex laundry detergent's hasbeen formulated to work in both traditional and High Efficiency (HE) washers. Purex will work with both top and side loading washer machines.

Disclaimer:  I received a sample of cookie scented purex and all information for this post was provided by Purex.
