A Shower.

I've kept quiet about this. I didn't know the right time to announce it. I figured I'd do it today because it was the day of her baby shower.

My oldest daughter is expecting again and is due in August-is she trying to make me feel old??

Was I happy six months ago when I got the news? No comment. Am I happy now that I will be getting another grand baby next month? Yes! This time, she's giving me a girl. It's time to go shopping for pink dresses and bows and little Mary Jane shoes!

So, we had the baby shower this weekend and it was fun. I spent the night before covered in pink frosting and chocolate making these babies.

We had a lot of cupcakes.

I thought they turned out pretty good.

I hated making these. Bakerella makes it look so easy to make cake pops.

I found this recipe on the Internet. These are called French Dip Appetizers. They taste much better then they look!

Zach had fun. Who said you shouldn't put a white shirt on your child and let them eat chocolate?

Emily wasn't too thrilled. And why should she? This party wasn't for her...

We played some shower games like "guess the size of the belly" among others.

Only five minutes to come up with the longest list of baby products.

How can anybody write so neatly under pressure?

We opened presents next. Jess opened lots of adorable pink items.

And someone knew that I loved brown outfits on babies.

Emily finally came around and gave me a smile.

And Zach was just happy to pop all the balloons-and eat more chocolate.

I caught Jess holding her friend's baby girl. Oh boy. Am I ready for this again?

Bring it on, baby!

Puma Winner!

Tommee Tippee summer blog tour!

I am always looking for durable eating wear for my grandson. Because. Well. He's rough. When I was given the opportunity to be a part of Tommee Tippee's summer blog tour, I was thrilled to check out their products.

I was given a water bottle, a non-slip mat (love it) and a bowl set with spoon. I made Zach's breakfast and sat him down at his table.


Other then the wondering why the heck Nana was taking pictures of him, he dug right in to his cereal.


I love the mat that came with. It really does hold the bowls in place! They feel very durable and well-made as well. Tommee Tippee products can now be found in all Toys "R" Us and Babies "R" Us stores nationwide as well as on BabiesRUs.com.
