A few weeks ago, my insanely talented cousins, the dynamic mother-daughter
duo, threw me an incredible baby shower to honor Grace. Everything was pink and sparkly, and even
more incredible than I had imagined it would be. They spent months planning this and creating
all the decorations down to the very last detail. They wouldn’t tell me anything about it,
except that it would be pink and sparkly (my kind of theme!).
On the day of the shower, I entered their house and was
blown away. I first saw the tables with
beautiful centerpieces, and decadent handmade and hand decorated ombré
rosette cake, and then I turned and was taken aback by an incredible pink and
white backdrop with a crystal overlay.
In front of it was an ottoman for gifts, which now held my “Mommy-to-be”
pin and a special pink mason jar blinged out with crystals for my drink.
Then I looked to the side of that and saw a huge diaper cake
adorned with a pink tutu that was topped with a beautiful pink cursive “G”. Next to it were dozens of mini water bottles,
each wearing its own tutu.
To one side of the diaper cake and tutu water bottles was a
dessert bar which included rice krispie treats dipped in white chocolate dyed
pink, marshmallows dipped in pink edible crystals and adorned with tutus, and
chocolate chip cookies. Please note, all
of these items and treats were handmade/hand baked by my cousins!
Then outside on their patio we had a onesie decorating
station and a headband making station. Everyone
had so much fun with these activities!
The onesies were so creative and beautiful, and the headbands are
equally adorable.
Once all the guests arrived, we talked, laughed, took
pictures in front of the pink, white and crystal backdrop, and decorated
onesies. I think it’s safe to say that
Grace has some adorable onesies to wear made with love by her
aunts/cousins/friends.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch followed by opening presents! I can’t even begin to describe the love Grace
and I felt on this day, especially with as we opened presents. Grace was definitely showered with love from
beautiful homemade gifts (blankets, hand embroidered sheets, burp cloths), to
so many adorable clothes that I was constantly squealing (dresses, swim suits,
socks, shoes, sunglasses, and more, all itty bitty!). She also received a rocking horse that sings,
bottles, lovies, carseats, car seat canopies, a turtle constellation night
light, and so much more!! Mommy also
received a beautiful Tory Burch diaper bag :)

One of my favorite things about this shower is that guests were asked to
bring a book instead of a card to help build Grace’s library. We received so many wonderful books, and the
inscriptions in some of them made me cry.
Sean and I have already started reading a story to Grace every night,
and she absolutely loves it. She knows
her daddy’s voice and gets so excited while we read in bed. I can’t wait until she is here and we can
read to her in person {not in utero}.
I can’t even being to express my thanks and gratitude to my
family and friends who came to my baby shower for Gracie. Thank you for your never-ending love and
support, and your generosity towards me and Grace. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
