...to host a shower

...for Meghan

Baby Morrow #3 is sure to arrive any day in the next few weeks.  Amy and I wanted to help Meghan celebrate this wonderful occasion with a few of her Fort Drum friends.

Meghan's requests included:  Simple.  Small.  No baby games.  


This meant Amy and I had to nix the poopy diaper game and the toilet paper game off of our list of activities for this event!  

Meghan only had diapers and wipes on her wish list.  We obliged.  And Amy found these awesome industrailish baskets for storage and to put these said items in... 


Meghan has an amazing sense of taste.  In her home she implements many of nature's elements.  She is often out clipping leaves and wild flowers to fill her vases.  She has drift wood on her walls...she has a new beautiful wood stump for an outdoor coffee table.

Amy and I attempted to make this shower...woodland chic if there is such a term, and incorporate nature into this event.

Air plants were the favor for the guests to take home.  Amy, Isabella and I gathered and washed lots and lots of rocks...


Slices of wood served as food platters...


Pine cones were the food tag holders...


Clippings from my garden...


Daisies from the path behind our home...


And ferns and wildflowers helped to create the backdrop for the gathering...


The menu:


Bacon Kabobs
Fruit Kabobs
Chocolate Ganache/Raspberry filled Cupcakes
Iced Cold Brew Coffee

What a beautiful and elegant momma our guest of honor was:


I loved putting this event together with Amy...clipping ferns, washing rocks, rolling out scones, squeezing lemons...


And loved seeing how happy everyone was at this event!

I sure can't wait to meet my godson...now if could only wait for his dad to get home....
