Erin’s Bachelorette Party

Finally I have time to blog about Erin‘s awesome bachelorette party! I am so excited for this girl to get married in September. So, to celebrate, I organized a bachelorette party in Palm Springs, California. We rented a house with a pool and had so much fun! Here are some of my favorite pics from the weekend:

Here are the fun cups I made for each girl to fit in with our “nautical” theme. In college Erin, Heather, and I made personalized cups for everything, so it seemed fitting to make them again!

I also made each girl a mason jar filled with some yummy treats. I was so happy with how they turned out! (Thanks for your help, mom!)

All the goodies! Erin’s future sister-in-law, Suzanne, brought all of the amazing food. I also made the tissue paper pom poms hanging from the ceiling a la Martha Stewart.

We also had a little lingerie shower for Erin. She got a lot of cute stuff….probably won’t show it all on the blog though!

After the shower we all got dressed and went out to dinner. We had yummy Mexican food and margaritas…can’t go wrong with that!

And of course we had to embarrass Erin just a little. My mom helped me make her a Bachelorette sash and I think it is adorable! She also had a crown and veil courtesy of her sister, Nicole, and a big fake diamond ring that lit up courtesy of me!
Thanks girls for such a fun weekend! Can’t wait for your wedding, Erin!

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Every year our Scout Elf, Spike, brings Christmas cheer and happiness to our house along with some special goodies…and this year, he did not disappoint! Spike brought along some Christmas magic through a brand-new Elf Pets reindeer and a new collection of special books from the creators of The Elf on the Shelf. The girls quickly loved on their reindeer and couldn’t contain the giggles while they read In Case of Elftastrophe! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
