Baby M’s Baby Shower

July 22, 2014 | family, pregnancy

Sorry it took me so long to get these photos up, with the move and everything else going on we have been super busy around here! I had a GREAT baby shower hosted by some wonderful people on July 12th.

I was kicked out of the house the morning of the shower, so my mom and I went to lunch while the busy bees decorated. When I came back, everything looked beautiful! Karen handmade most of the decorations (if not all!) and they worked hard on all of the food, etc.

Karen made this wreath for baby M! She attached chalkboards to it later so we can put it on the hospital door with her height, weight, etc.

The first game has a bunch of questions like “what is Heather’s favorite dessert” etc. and whoever got the most right got a prize.

The next game everyone had to tear off some paper and guess how big around my stomach was. Jennifer was obviously super close.

Baby M was given some amazing and super sweet gifts.

She is already so spoiled and we are so thankful for everyone’s generosity! I had a great shower, and am so glad so many people were there to help us celebrate the upcoming arrival of my baby girl.

QOTD: Have you ever played games at a baby shower? What is your favorite food toe at at any kind of shower?

    Gorgeous baby shower! I love how much detail went into it. Your decoraters really did a fabulous job. I love the wreath that you can put outside of the hospital door. How cool! Oh & of course, you are stunning!

    Your friend is AWESOME! Love the wreath for the front door and at the hospital! SUPER CUTE! Looks like a ton of fun. At my shower and every shower I have been to they always play the “Name that poop” game. (a melted candy bar in a diaper and you have to sniff it and try to figure out what candy it is.)

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:40 pm

      ew not a fan of name the poop lol!

    What a gorgeous shower! And it looks like Baby M got a lot of great stuff! Yes I’ve played games at baby showers! I just went to one this past weekend and we played the one where you melt candy bars into diapers and then have to guess what diaper had which candy bar. Kind of gross lol!

    • Karen :0) says

      July 22, 2014 at 8:14 am

      Haha I saw that one on Pinterest! Sounded a bit messy to me! LOL

    The food looks so good. The most recent baby shower I went to had French pastries since the father’s French. I don’t know where they got the croissants but I could’ve eaten the entire plate of them.

    By the way, I used to win the “how big a belly” contest all the time! I would just measure around my belly then substract a bit of ribbon. Never failed LOL

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:32 pm

      LOL too funny!

    One time I played the game where we had to guess how big the mom-to-be’s bump was. I was within a centimeter! Also, I’ve played “Present Bingo” where you fill in the squares with what you THINK Mom will get, and play along as she opens her gifts. It keeps people involved.

    • Heather says

      July 22, 2014 at 4:30 pm

      present bingo sounds cool!

    What a beautiful shower!! So nice to celebrate you and your new baby!
    I love baby showers (I’ve had 2!) and I love playing games at showers – the more games the better! 🙂

    So glad everything went over well! Thanks for letting me be a part! :0) That cake was ohhh so yummy!!

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻

Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins at Val Staying in an A-Frame cabin by Zook cabins  at Valley Bear Farms felt like stepping into a real-life Pinterest board 🤍 (ad)

These architectural gems mix rustic charm with modern design—think soaring wood ceilings, giant picture windows, and a dreamy soaker tub that makes you never want to leave. 😍

We even brought our dogs along (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) and watched deer wander by through the trees. 🐾 

Valley Bear Farms is tucked in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by peaceful forest views and plenty to explore. The property has hiking trails, a cozy general store, and other on-site amenities that make it feel like a little mountain village all its own. ⛰️ 

If you’re craving a nature-filled, beautifully designed getaway where you can truly unwind, these A-Frame cabins are it.👍🏻

🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 🎄 POV: Our Weekend Holiday Getaway in Pigeon Forge 
There’s just something about the holidays in the Smoky Mountains — the lights, the laughter, the togetherness — it all feels extra magical. #sponsored

Our first stop was Dolly Parton’s Stampede, the world’s most visited dinner attraction, and it’s easy to see why. The pre-show in the Stampede Saloon had us singing along to country and Christmas classics before we sat down for a four-course feast that could rival any holiday dinner. 🐴 

Then the arena came alive with 32 magnificent horses, trick riders, and dancers bringing the spirit of the season to life with a friendly North vs. South Pole rivalry, toys that come alive, and even Santa arriving in a horse-drawn sleigh. Pure holiday joy from start to finish! 🎅🏻 

Next up was the Titanic Museum Attraction, beautifully transformed into an Elegant Edwardian Christmas, giving Titanic the Christmas voyage she never got.  We each received a boarding pass with the name of a real passenger, explored the Grand Staircase, and even touched the icy 28-degree water.  The interactive exhibits made history come alive, and it was such an emotional, unforgettable experience for all of us. 

And to end the weekend, we dove into adventure at Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.  Led by Captain Blackbeard himself, the Crimson and Sapphire crews battled for treasure with acrobatics, mermaids, fire stunts, and even a sea lion! Between the four-course pirate feast and the jaw-dropping stunts, it was nonstop fun and the perfect grand finale to our Pigeon Forge weekend. 🏴‍☠️ 

 This trip reminded me that time together really is the best gift. Add Pigeon Forge and these incredible attractions to your holiday must-do list this season. ❤️

Comment “Pigeon Forge” and I’ll send you links to grab your tickets before they sell out!
