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. :)

    1. 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.

    2. 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

  2. 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! 

The Kirks take over NH

Or the other way around! After our quick trip to NH, I felt slightly dominated. Let's start with the day before our trip when we were trying to clean out the fridge and finding something to make for dinner was a bit challenging. Well we did it! Mashed potatoes, corn, and chicken. Not bad right? Until the next day..... Our flight didn't leave until 9PM but both Brandon and I were texting each other all day about our upset stomach rendezvous! Brandon gets home from work and immediately hugs the toilet for an hour. I, on the other hand, was going in and out of feeling good and not.  We managed to make it to the airport and board the plane in one piece.  A little piece of advice: just because your slightly under 2 year old flies free until they are 2 does not mean it is comfortable or feasible!  When he was younger it was definitely doable but almost 2 was extremely challenging. Prepare for landing........or more like me getting sick in a seat with the fasten seatbelt sign on...

Fa La La La La La La La La

As soon as Thanksgiving dinner ended, we immediately switched gears to Christmas.  My sister, my cousin and I left at 8:00 at night to get some Black Friday deals!  We left the chitlens with their dads and went on our way.  Toys R Us was brutal but we made it out in one piece. Target looked rough when we first walked in but ended up being very fast with an easy checkout.  Nathan gave up at the Target point and went to the truck to go to sleep......really?!  Kohls was so bad we walked in and walked right back out! Nothing there was worth a 4 hour wait!  The day after Thanksgiving always calls for champagne, Eggs Benedict, waffles, and golfing for the guys. This year we added Christmas decorating to the list.  We had our little elf out from Illinois do we needed to use him to our best ability.  My parent's house was all done by the end of Friday! Wowzers!  They have such a beautiful house that no matter what it will look amazing, but Nathan did...
