Baby Showers. . .

The last baby shower I threw was for Jaxyn Tate, my niece, and it was very pretty. Just like her mommy (my sister). Jess is very “Domino” where I am more “Coastal Living” so we balance each other out and I love her for that. She throws wonderful parties too and I have been blessed with beautiful baby and wedding showers.

We threw the event at the Nines, a boutique hotel in Portland that is beautiful! And while the girls attended the shower – the boys played pool and drank beer in the “library” area of the hotel.

I love when both the Mom and the Dad can be a part of such a special event . . . and it’s not just Dads hanging out at a baby shower!

Jaxyn’s Goodnight Book – we took a Golden Book and decorated each page with different ribbons and buttons. Inserted “Library envelopes and cards” into each page and we wrote our favorite Children’s Book and why we liked it.
Mommies Apron - Put things in a “mommy’s” apron to help her with her with her new bundle of joy: Aspirin, Liquor, a scrunchi, McDonalds coupons!
