a shower for jess!

My mom and I hosted a shower for my brother's fiance, Jess. They are getting married on Memorial Day weekend of this year, and we are super excited for the wedding! My mom let me plan and create this shower, and I loved doing it. A bit vintage, a pretty color palette, flowers, mason jars, and an overall kitchen theme.

the favors... a mason jar filled with chocolate chip pancake mix and a spot for recipe cards from the shower guests.
a miss to mrs banner.

an indiana birthday party.

We celebrated Millie's second birthday this morning with our family & friends in Indiana... it was so fun! Her actual birthday is next month, but we wanted to make sure that her grandparents didn't miss the celebration! I found some super cute plates & napkins at Target that set the color scheme for the party, and did a few decorations to make it feel like a party.

the past 11 months of millie!
favors for little friends.
a sandwich bar...
and fruits & vegetables. a simple lunch!
a quick milk break between presents & cake!
 it was a great morning.
we are thankful for all of the love for millie!
