Pink and Brown Baby Shower

So, one of our many talents (cough, cough) is that of hosting baby showers. We've done quite a few actually. Funny enough all the showers we have done in the last two years have been for boys! Yes, that's right, no girls.


Fast forward to this year and my SIL (aka sister-in-law) is pregnant.....that's right, with a GIRL! It will be the 6th girl offspring with the only boy being her first born.


Anyways, we decide to host her baby shower. Now let me tell you hosting parties for a family member is so very different then that of my customers. You want to impress your family, but not appear to be to know-it-all. There is a fine line to walk when dealing with family drama and the like. That being said we moved forward and in questioning my SIL, she stated that she wanted a Pink and Brown theme baby shower. Ok, cute colors together but what to do as a "theme".


Well, it worked. Our first girl baby shower of pink and brown.


Pink and Brown table clothes, pink Gerber daises in pink baby bottles as the centerpieces, pink and brown boxes for the game prizes, pink and brown cello bags for the umbrella favors, pink and brown invitations, pink and brown favor tags, pink and brown balloons, pink and brown plates and napkins, white booties lapel pin with pink bow, pink and brown bows, ribbons and diaper cakes with the topper being a pink and brown candy buffet!


We just about overdosed on Pink and Brown, but in the end we had a nice time and it turned out very pretty.


Here are some photos to help your thinking process along if you decided to go with a Pink and Brown, Brown & Pink Baby Shower Theme.......

Candy Buffet with Labeled Hershey Bars, Kit Kats, Smarties, Chocolate Covered Pretzels and more
Chinese Take-out Boxes served as the candy container for the buffet guests. The label? Pink and Brown!
Pink and Brown Candy Labels which we can make with any color or theme
Pink (aka strawberry) Brown (aka Chocolate) and Tan (aka Carrot Cake) Cupcakes and Cake with a baby rattle on top. The bottom of the cake is a diaper wreath with "Jordyn" who will be the baby-to-be's name.

If you have any questions, need more ideas or photos, please check out our website or contact me directly.

Our baby shower package includes 2 hours of set up, decor, games, game prizes, corsage, gift registry and clean up. Other options such as cakes, balloons, standees, cupcakes, themed events are also available upon request.

Tamales a great Tradition

Who doesn't love a great tamale! It's a fantastic tradition that has lasted throughout generations.

There are many different types of tamales from the popular Red Chile and pork, Green Chile with cheese and the delicious sweet tamales. The varieties differ from region to region but in the end a tamale at Christmastime and the days following is a necessity in our family.

I try to make tamales every year, but it's a time consuming task, so for the last 3 years we opted to taste the tamales of others, but there is nothing like a homemade tamale. Ok, I know they are all homemade, but from your hands, your sweat and your first pick off the top is an indescribable accomplishment and boy does it taste GREAT!

So instead of giving you step by step here are a few sites to check out:

Check them out, give a try and let me know how it goes! The number one tip is to make sure you don't put too much lard in the masa - it gives you a dry tamale. Other then that experiment with flavors and fillings and above all ENJOY!

Holiday Decor

Entertaining for the holidays can be a daunting task, but in reality it doesn't need to be.

Think Simple - A centerpiece of a glass jar or vase with cranberries, lemons, oranges in water with a little broken off Christmas tree branch to use as a base makes a cheap yet beautiful display.

White Christmas lights with garland splashed around the room and a scented candle or pine cones bring that Christmas spirit and smell without turning on your oven.

And while gifts are a nice gesture, make a card or bake some goodies - it's not always the cost of the item that counts.

Wishing Christmas Blessings this Holiday Season!
