Today I had the opportunity to attend my best friend's (also known as my goddaughter's mother) baby shower. All of the decorations and the set up met beyond all expectations that I had in mind. I can easily say that it was beyond the most creative (a.k.a absolutely adorable, not being biased at all) baby showers I have ever had the pleasure of attending. Here are my top ten favorite things I love most about baby showers!

1. The adorable theme

The theme of my goddaughter's (Madison Ann-Marie) baby shower was a Minnie Mouse theme and everything couldn't have been anymore perfect!

2. All of the creative decorations

A majority of all of the decorations that were there were things that I could never think up all on my own! I give HUGE props to my best friend and her family for all of their inventive ideas.


3. All of the darling baby outfits

Who doesn't love to buy cute baby clothes, especially little girl clothes! And with the Minnie Mouse theme there were most certainly a lot of little Minnie tutus! I have never seen so many different types of Minnie onesies, dresses, mittens, little booties and all different types of outfits in between!


4. The baby related games

Throughout the baby shower we had a few different types of games. One of the games was a "The Price is Right" themed game where you had to guess the prices to certain baby items. Such as the price of 110 diapers or how much a pack of baby wipes were. My mom and I were the top two winners to have the closest guess! There was also a gift bingo where you write down in the bingo spaces what types of gifts you think will be opened and cross off as the gifts are opened to win a bingo! Another game that we played was a word scrabble that was related to baby things (I wasn't very good at that game).



5. The unique types of play-on-word decorations

One of my favorites in the "Just about to pop!" with a little jar of popcorn... absolutely charming.

6. The clever ways to make gifts out of useful baby items

There was such a wide variety of clever gifts that were made out of different things such as baby diapers, little bibs, lotions, baby body washes and bubble bath and other items that can be used (even though the gifts are just too cute to take apart).


7. Being able to take precious pictures with your best friend

I am glad I was able to capture all the special moments my best friend and I were able to share at her baby shower, it is a day I will never forget.

8. The delicious food

Enough said.

9. Being able to capture memorable moments with my best friend and her family

I had the honor of being able to photograph my best friend open all of her gifts and all her family having special moments together.


10. Sentimental gifts

It is always a unforgettable moment when you get to witness someone open a gift that they will be able to cherish for the rest of their lives.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
