Since this is our third baby we have decided not to have a baby shower for this little guy, instead we are going to have a little meet and greet party after he his born. Even if this little guy was a little princess we still would just have a little party and no shower. I have been browsing Pinterest for some inspiration. After going back and forth we have decided on a baseball theme. Of course we are huge baseball family so it comes as no big surprise. Plus it's perfect for a summer time BBQ party.
Now the only hard part is picking a date to have this little shin dig. We have so much going on this summer, especially the end of May and beginning of June. And since we don't know exactly when baby will be here it makes it a little more difficult and we want to have to it while Ryan is still off work so that only gives us like a month. As soon as we get a few things done around the house to get ready for this little bundle I am going to start buying and getting ready so I am not so overwhelmed at the last minute.
First thing first is the invitation. I found this on Etsy and it's by far my favorite. I absolutely love it. Of course I will need to change the wording around a little bit but think its perfect.
How cute are these little hot dog holders?! I would love to find some little cardboard food holders, like the ones you get at the ballparks to carry all your goodies in. These are a must!!!
I am hoping to find a crate similar to this. I found this on Etsy and just might order it if I can't find something similar. I want to fill it with Cracker Jacks and Big League Chew. It will make the perfect little decoration.
I have been seeing these all over Pinterest and there are lots of different ways you can make them. I think this is my favorite way so far. It looks easy enough for me to even try. I think this would make a cute decoration in red, white, blue, and baseball fabric. And I can use it after the party for a bedroom decoration, either for the baby's room or Cameron and Easton's bedroom....surprise, surprise both bedrooms will be baseball rooms:))
I think I am going to put some some peanuts, licorice, and maybe sunflower seeds in some glass containers like these. I was also thinking of putting some peanuts in brown paper bags. Still undecided about that but I do know I will use these for something.
I say I am going to try and keep it simple but sometimes I tend to get carried away. I love baseball and all the decorations that go along with it and since this baby boy isn't getting a shower I want his party to be perfect. Plus the little party will between Memorial Day and Fourth of July so we will be able to find all sorts of red, white, and blue decorations that will go right along with it. We also plan on getting a bounce house for the little ones, they are going to love that!!
So do any of you have any ideas you want to share? Or what are your favorite baseball food and drinks?
There is so much to do before the baby arrives. It's been a little over a month since we moved and I still haven't got everything completely unpacked. I have lots and lots of pictures to hang. I hate trying to figure out where they are going to go. It's such a commitment. I have lots of ideas of where they should go but its committing to it that I have a problem with. There are a couple of new things I want to get so that is also delaying the picture hanging.
I always have a vision of something I like but can never find what I want or I see something I love and go back to get it and it's gone. Always happens to me. I always tell myself next time I see something I love I am just going to get it.
And of course I have a couple Pinterest projects I want to do. Who doesn't love Pinterest?! So many great ideas. Here are a couple projects I hope to get done within the next few weeks.
So since we just moved we lots more wall space to cover. I love this so much, it's such cool idea. I plan on putting this little gallery of frames in the playroom. I am thinking I will paint them primary colors and skip the chalk board. The kids have an easel and it used to be in the house but now it's outside under the patio. We just don't have room for it anymore plus they {Easton} always made a huge mess with the chalk and chalk dust. Easton pounds the eraser on the floor and writes on the walls and furniture with the chalk so it's outside now.
So anyway......you get some empty frames, paint and hang them. Then you can display the kiddos art work in the frame. I love it and think it will look perfect in the playroom:))
This is another project I am so in love with. But do I use Mom and Dad or our first names? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. I already have the perfect spot picked out for it. The only thing with this one is I will need help cutting the wood, I probably shouldn't try and cut the wood myself.....that would be ugly.
What projects for the home are you working you???
Oh my how I love Pinterest. I cannot get enough. I know this is like the third food post in a row but I have such a sweet tooth right now and I love to bake and make sweet treats. Pinterest is so good for finding some new recipes.
These rolo brownie bites look so freaking good. As a kid Rolos were my favorite and I haven't had them in so long. I am going to have to try this real soon.
Snickerdoodle muffins....REALLY?! Something else that is making my mouth water. These look hecka good. I see lots of baking in my future.
And don't these just look amazing?! I need some cookies now!
Reese's cheesecake brownies.....OH MY!
Ok I think that's all I can handle sharing today. Who else loves Pinterest for finding new recipes?
I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!
I am so in love with Pinterest. Before I had an iPhone I had never gone to their website or really even knew exactly what it was. I had seen other bloggers post about it but never really paid attention until I got an iPhone. Now I am so obsessed with it. I could look at pictures for hours. I just started making some boards and repining pictures. It is such a great idea!
I have seen so many cool ideas for organization, activities to do with the boys, DIY home decor, and lets not forget all the yummy food. I have been obsessing over getting some boots and have seen a ton of different pairs paired up with super cute outfits.
I love wine corks so much. We save our corks and I just love this idea. I created a board named "Ideas for Wine Corks", I have found a couple other great ideas as well.
One day I wish to have a little craft corner. So this picture is posted on my "Craft Corner Inspiration" board. I love all the pink but doubt I would do it in pink since my little corner will be out in our living space.
This little creation I just absolutely LOVE. I so wish I could pull off wearing this. Isn't it so pretty?! I am really thinking about getting one. I just have no idea where I would ever it....date night maybe?
This picture is just AWESOME.....I LOVE IT! I am waiting for my BFF's boyfriend to pop the big question. Hopefully it's any freaking day now and when she finally does get married this is what we will be doing.
I have "liked" so many pictures and just started to create boards and I am having so much fun. And I love that I can do it from my phone. I wish I could post all the pictures I have liked. Such great ideas. I can't get over how much I love Pinterest!
Anyone else obsessed?!
