Girl time.

Since she was born just 11 weeks ago, Sweet Chuck and I have already:

• Watched Downton Abbey together
• Done our nails (mine painted, hers clipped)
• Baked muffins (me doing the work, her observing)
• Gone shopping (new concealer for me, a headband for her)
• Thrown a baby shower!

That last one happened on Sunday, and it appears to have been a hit.  My dear friend A is expecting a little girl in January, so we invited 18 lovely ladies into our tiny home for a good old fashioned baby welcoming.  The theme?  PINK and GAUDY AS ALL GET-OUT.

Thanks to my crafty mama for providing the bunting and the hot pink trees.

Who can resist a pair of tiny pink TOMS?

Loot!

It’s official: My child dwarfs me.

Pink sangria and twirly straws in mason jars.

Pink champagne cake from The Madonna Inn, smoothie shooters with whip, and spiced popcorn.
