A little birdie told me {Rebekah's baby shower}

A few weeks ago I helped Rebekah throw a shower for her best friend, Brittany.  This weekend I was lucky enough to help Brittany host a shower for Rebekah.  These two are the sweetest of best friends (since 6 years old) and watching them join the mom club together has been nothing short of amazing. 

Again, a group of us got together to plan this shower.  Jordan and I did most of the decor and food.  Jaime is an amazing florist, and just like at Brittany's shower, did the flowers for Bekah's shower.  She also did the beautiful balloons, fabric strip garland, and several other things.  Brittany made food, crafted the decor with me and then made the cute headband making station and "a little birdie told me" notes for mom-to-be.  She planned a surprise game called "Daddy knows best", and then ended with a message from Rebekah's husband {which had us all in tears}.  Melissa, Stephanie, Becca, and Erin helped with food and party favors.  Teamwork is the best!  I love all those girls and am always stoked to see the amazing things they create.  Inspiring I tell ya! 

I have to say that even though all baby showers are special – it has been incredibly emotional and such a blessing to be a part of these girl's baby showers.  They have both struggled with infertility and have waited a long time to become mothers.  In the words of my sweet Daysen, – " I don't know anyone more deserving..."

















































I love them and their baby girls to the moon!!

Lately in life. . . 

Just sitting here enjoying some random pictures from my last batch dumped onto my computer – and, I'm realizing 90% of my pictures should be deleted from the get go.  Ain't nobody got time for that I guess.  

I love Spring time in my yard.  It's like a daily surprise when new things pop up.  Like, "Oh, I forgot there were a ton of calla lilies here!" and "Yay, there's tons of strawberries growing."  The little things, guys.




I bought 4 of these bad boys for twenty bucks from a guy selling firewood.  I don't even know why other than I like them and I feel like they'd be useful for event planning and such.  You guys, the funny looks I get from Sean when he sees the stuff I come home with.  The best. 

I took a 3 month hiatus from anything in the kitchen while I was on crutches and it was much more devastating than I thought it would be.  These hands are made for cookin' and that's just what they'll do!  So glad to be back at it. 





I cooked up this delish whipped body butter and it's been selling like crazy.  Kinda awesome because I love it so much, too.  I've been shaving my legs with it lately and you all should come over and feel these gams. Sooooo silky smooth.  Do you want some too?  Hit me up!


I've caught the crafting bug lately – AND, I like it. So therapeutic. 



When I'm not hobbling around crafting and cooking, I'm at physical therapy.  I thought you all might wanna be grossed out with a knee update.  This is a week post-op from my latest revision surgery.  Doc opened back up the side incision and removed bone and fluid.  It sure is ugly (and painful) but, I'm hopeful things will get better from here. 



And the rest are just pictures of my babers being cute kids.  I just love the Boyd brood. 









The end.
