Beautiful Burpcloths

I hope you enjoyed your weekend!  We enjoyed some of the sunshine on Saturday while also getting some work done around the house, and then rewarded ourselves with a nice dinner out with friends.

This is just a quick post to share these beautiful burpcloths that my mom made!  
She has been making them for awhile and taking them to showers for a few mom's to be.  
I took it a step further by asking a family friend to monogram them.  I think they should team up and start a little side business, just sayin:)
 I love giving gifts that are more of a want vs. need.  I almost always go with the registry for a baby shower, but like to make the gift more personal once the baby arrives.  Sometimes it's a special outfit or a personalized blanket, but these burpcloths are my favorite.  It should be arriving at their doorstep this afternoon, I hope they like them as much as I do!

And in case you're wondering...the baby's name if Clifford "Ford" for short:)

XOXO

To The Happy Couple

As you may remember, we celebrated my sister in law's wedding in Albuquerque, New Mexico right before Christmas.  It was an intimate wedding and far from home so my in-laws hosted a little reception a few weeks back while Cara and Ken were in town.
And wouldn't you know I was sick the night before.  Fever and chills, but I was determined that I was going to rally for the party.  Luckily I managed a full recovery, lightning doesn't strike twice!
Robin decided to have the party catered and the food was amazing.  Some of the selections went so fast I never even got a taste!

It was also Cara's 30th birthday, so there was double the celebrating!


I couldn't leave this out...the dudes enjoyed a little free styling rap at the end of the night.  Some trio:)

We had a blast celebrating with friends and family, such a fun night!
We'll get to see Cara and Ken again in June when they bring his kids up to visit Michigan for the first time.  Lauren and William will be thrilled to see their new cousins again!


XOXO
