Year of the Baby! (not mine)

For the past few years it has been all about weddings. This year there was a change in the tide. Our refrigerator once covered in save-the-date cards and wedding invitations is now being out-numbered by baby shower invites and birth announcements.

It kicked off in the Fall when I co-hosted three baby showers in three months in three different out-of-state places. From best friends to my very own sister, it has been so fun to share in this exciting time with each of them.

I have to admit that I was definitely out of my element when it came time to host my first baby shower. For starters I had never attended a baby shower nonetheless hosted one! Luckily I had some veteran co-hosts in my corner which made the planning and hosting a BLAST.

Here are some staples to a cute baby shower:

 

 Cute little foods. 

 

Cute gifts

   

Cute mommies

I'll create a Part 2 post so I can show off all these new babies.
