Milk Mustache-themed Baby Shower with FREE PRINTABLES!!

I was honored to throw this baby shower for one of my dearest friends. For this "Milk & Mustache" themed baby shower, I decided to do a classic, elegant, almost 1920's vibe style. We had a photo booth (of course), a mustache tattoo station, and a fun mustache game. It kept people entertained and socializing without all of the cheesy baby shower games. :)

Let's start with the cake and desserts, shall we? Of course we shall...

These chocolate covered Oreos were simply store-bought fudge covered Oreos that I added little fondant mustaches to! So easy.

Here's the printable for these "Sip Like a Man" straw tags:

Great... now onto the decor...

So the mustache seat covers..SO easy! I just cut them out of burlap, did one stitch and viola! I made myself a rubber stamp, dipped it in black paint, then stamped away.

Here's a pic of my rubber stamp:

Simply print out your image or font on copy paper, cut it out, then use it as a template to cut out your image on cheap craft foam and glue it to a wooden block! 

I used the same stamp-making method to stamp these letters on this bunting. I'm sure I'll have the whole alphabet soon. ;)

 Now the "Guess that Stache" game! 

Here are the printables: 

I got this large wooden spool by walking into my local electrical supply store and asking if I could buy one. They were actually so kind and they gave it to me for free!

Now the invite. :)

And the tattoo station where you could get a little finger mustache tattoo on your index finger and hold it to your upper lip. It was actually the hit of the party!

Here's even a free printable for you in jpeg form: I adhered mine to a black piece of foam board.

The Photo Booth:

Here is the printable for the "Photo Booth" sign

So, enjoy your printables and go throw your own Milk Mustache Bash!!!

10...

Who in the world told this girl that she was allowed to grow up? 10?! That number is staggering to me. Double digits! She has grown up to be such a sweet, innocent, intelligent and hilarious girl. I hope she keeps her innocence. I hope she grows up strong and fierce. It looks like she's already on her way. ;)

32...

Yup. I'm getting old.... I love that I was able to spend my b-day in Cali with my favorite person ever. Dinner at PF Changs , a movie, cupcakes and a new blinged-out cell phone cover. What more could a girl ask for???

Babiekins Magazine!!

I am so honored to have my cupcakes published in the posh, trendy, 

Babiekins Magazine!

It's a stunning magazine for the trend-setting child.

The Print edition can be found at Barns & Noble or Target. The online edition can be found here.

Here are some beautiful shots from the magazine:

For these New Year's Eve themed cupcakes, I did a ruffle buttercream and added some glam with some gold Disco Dust (NOT luster dust) that I picked up at Orson Gygi's in Salt Lake City. The cupake tags (along with the rest of the fabulous party were styled by Loralee Lewis.

My baby is 2!!

I swore I would not be "one of those parents" that babied thier baby....Well. I've learned that you just can't help it. My sweet, sweet baby girl turned 2 on Saturday. She is so lovely and beautiful, and sweet and sassy and everything wonderful to me. Sometimes I can't even STAND how cute she is. I litteraly get choked up sometimes when I look at her. I can only imagine what she will grow up to be. I love, love, love her.



I just had to show a close up because I can't even STAND how cute those little teeth are?! Seriously...





A big "Thank You" to Namma for this super fun present. :) She's obsessed with these things!




Oh my goodness, those eyes!



She's obsessed with baby dolls right now. She got this one for her birthdayl She is the sweetest little Mamma you will ever meet. :)



 On her fun day, she had NO idea why everyone was making such a fuss over her. These crazy people in her family started singing every version of "Happy Birthday" imaginable all day long, handed her a bunch of balloons, shoved a bunch of toys in her face, sang more "Happy Birthday" songs, lit some cupcakes on fire and then forced her to eat them. I'm sure the whole thing was very bizzare to her but she loved it anyway. :)

Eating her birthday pancakes. :)

I just love this picture of her pretty little silouette lit up by the candles.

Blowing out the candles. Daddy had to help a little bit..

"Bite the cake!"

I loved her face when she opened this. She loved the creepy open and shut eyes. :)
