Baby Zoie and Mama's Baby Shower

This weekend was just fabulous!

My mom threw an amazing and all out baby shower for this already spoiled baby girl in my belly! 

When we first thought about the theme of the shower, we thought it would only be fitting to go along with the room theme which is very light pastel colors inspired by a couple vintage Barbie pictures I found (more on that later). After much deliberation, we decided to go with a more bold vintage Barbie theme with the colors being black, pink and white with a lot of Barbie silhouettes. 

After a million trips to Target, Home Goods, Ikea, Etsy, Tai Pan, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby we had a nice stock pile to start the decorating and planning. 

My mom decided to pretty much redecorate her house from floor to ceiling starting with drapery.  She switched out her current drapes for some black and white striped fabric. You would not believe how great the fabric looked without even being sewed!!!! They looked like they belonged.  She also changed a the pictures from her typical wine themed pictures to the vintage Barbie pictures going in Zoie's room.


We had the drapes as the background for the dessert table! There was so much themed Barbie decor and desserts that we wanted that to be the focal point. 


The dessert table included the following:
A fabulous "Let Them Eat Cake" sign made by prettiestlittlethings
Cotton candy
Amazing fashionista Barbie designed sugar cookies made by bundlesofcookies
Chocolate covered Oreos with these awesome designs made by sweetiesbykim 
Cake pops made by my mom (her business name coming soon)
Strawberry flavored salt water taffy
Food labels designed by tomkat
The best tasting almond champagne flavored Barbie cake made by Del Rio Cakes 
Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes topped with light pink pearls from our local grocer
Macaroons found at Home Goods
Cute custom plates with Barbie silhouettes made by dreamhousedolls 

This is proof that there are so many great Etsy shops and things you can do to make the planning a little bit easier on the kitchen load.

The food table had a delicious array of miniature breakfast and lunch items including but not limited to miniature chicken and waffles, miniature pancake stacks, and even a take on your typical bagels and lox but in small phyllo cups.


We served up a vodka infused pink lemonade in mason jars with some cute twine and striped pink straws. You can do so much with twine and it is so classy and cute. We also had loads and loads of champagne on hand. We tend to forget about the non alcoholic drinkers and kids but thankfully we had some water, soda, and juice on hand! 


The shower was beautiful, the company was great, the presents were much appreciated and will definitely come in handy once Zoie makes her appearance! 


Thank you so much for everyone that made the baby shower memorable with a huge shoutout to my mama and her new company (coming soon hahaha)! 

This Kirk Klan appreciates you all. :)

      Thank you!!!!! Everyone always searches and pays so much for mason jars. I always get mine in the canning section at the grocery store. They come in 2 sizes and are about $1 a piece.

      Oooh, that's so smart! I saw some at Whole Foods, but they were so expensive. I'll check Ralph's/Albertsons/Vons next time I'm there! Thanks, Whitney! :D

    This glamorous Baby Zoie and Mama's Baby Shower is just perfect my friend. The color scheme is just stunning. I also would be hosting the modern themed parties. I would be hosting the baby shower for my cousin and have to book the spacious event venues Chicago for this spring themed shower. Hoping to find a good location within my budget.

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting!  We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise.  It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time!  Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes!

4th Annual Kirk Klan Ugly Sweater Party

As you can tell by the word annual, this is our Kirk family tradition. We have an ugly sweater party every year for Christmas. We deck out our whole house, garage, ourselves, and have a great time with friends and family. I usually make everything home made with some help from my mom and all her and my grandma's recipes.  This year I wanted to make it as simple but still cute as possible. I decided on a chili bar as the main entree.  I also delegated everyone that would help to make my favorite chili they make. SCORE! Way less work for me! Muahahahaha!  My dad made his tri tip chili, my mom made her white chicken chili, and Brandon made his pulled pork chili.  Besides the fact that we always make way too much food, the chili was definitely a hit. Of course the chefs tested everyone on who they thought had the best chili. They are all delicious in my eyes, obviously!  I did pitch in a little and made some appetizers and corn bread! Oh and I did all the decorating...

Celebrating Fall

This month kicked off the Fall season.....and we took full advantage of it and did so many fun Fall activities.  Pumpkin patches: Zeke's favorite word by far is definitely "punkin" so him being at a pumpkin patch was by far the highlight of his month.  The farm we went to had a family night so we gathered some friends and headed out! Pony rides, petting zoo, "punkins", train rides, and even a corn maze.....done and done!!!!  Apple picking: Every year we head out to the local apple county with a couple families, choose a farm, and get a pickin! For some reason, my genius self decided to find other options than where we went last year! Obviously, that was not a great idea. Not only did we spend triple from last year, but there were almost NO apples! The pears were delicious and abundant. Like I said, apples were far from that! They had 3 different types and right before we left we found a couple trees in the parking lot where we not only filled up our bags, but al...
