Baby Froehle Shower

my lil sister J is having a baby!! i recently had the pleasure of planning her baby shower and wanted to show you all the details. whenever i am starting to plan an event i make an inspiration board with ideas pulled from the dandy internet. i start by discussing with the host what they are looking for; theme & colors, etc. for J, she was really open to whatever as long as i incorporated her colors + elephants. (l♥v having creative power) here's her inspiration board...

from here i went into plan & design mode.

thanks to Nicole here are some pictures from the shower...

hope you enjoyed your shower J! i loved planning it!

thank you to Mom, A & N for hosting!!

A + me + J

at the end of the day

at the end of the day, you have done all that you could. so many things are out of our hands and up to the universe. all we can do is pray. and sometimes are prayers are answered. . .. ☺

first days

today was the first day of school for my godson alex. i sat and reminisced over the memories of the last five years of his life and how quickly they have passed. he is who taught me the definition of love at first sight. when i met him the day he was born i fell instantaneously in love. it is hard to put into words what my heart + soul felt in that moment. and it wasn't until baby a was born i felt it all over again. there is a difference in feeling an instant connection with someone and love at first sight.

alex is the the definition of boy wonder. he has a photographic memory and is full of did you knows and animal wisdom. he is sensitive and kind and very witty. i know he will do wonderfully in school i just can't believe the day is already here! baby a and i wanted to wish him well on his new venture so we sent him this picture message to view before heading to the bus stop.

of course this was during a's mickey mouse time so he was a little distracted.

his momma sent us this picture of him waiting for the bus. so proud of you alex! may school bring you much knowledge and new friends. can't wait to hear all about what you are learning!!

currently buzzing in my head.. .. .

i probably should be napping while he is.
