Since my daughter just had a baby I thought I would do a repost of a baby shower she threw for her sister in law a couple of years ago.
Okay I just need to brag a little bit about my amazing daughter Madeline. First of all she is only 21 years old, married to an incredible man named…Peter and she is pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild!! OH yeah..I am going to be a grandma and I can’t even wait!! We find out what she is having on Friday!!! I am chomping at the bit to go and spend money on this new little baby girl or boy!
Last weekend she put on a an incredible baby shower for her sister-in-law (they are due within a few months of one another). It was a Dr. Seuss themed shower …”Oh the places you will go” and Madeline did the planning decorations, and food (with some help from her cute mother-in-law and mother of the mother to be). Madeline found inspiration from a website called stem parties and she did one amazing job. Check out these photos.
All the cute table decor that goes along with all the bright colors of Dr. Seuss books!Look at all the eye candy!!
Green Eggs!! No detail was spared for this adorable baby shower!
How amazing do these brownie pops look. Madeline made these as well.
Oh my gosh are you checking out the adorable fish bowl centerpieces with the fur!
Martha Stewart you better look out there is a new girl on the block and her name is Madeline! he he he he
Sorry I just had to brag about my girl. 🙂
Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
