She LOVES this thing.  She isn't walking quite yet, but I love a toy that will grow with them! She sits in front of it and plays with the activity center (specifically the spinning bells). She likes to move the balls as well. Bonus, it is cute!

Had to get this cute push car/ride toy. Again, getting a toy that grows with them.  Makes me feel like I am getting a better deal ha-ha.

Baby girl is starting to eat purees and solids. I loved the color of these and that it came in a set that included a straw cup and snack cup lid.  These are all the things you need to start the transition.

**I have not used this yet*** Bought this for our house so she has somewhere to eat or sit and play that was safe. There are over 20K reviews and almost all rave about this.  We shall see, but it is exactly what I have been wanting!

*Have not tried yet* Ordering these because I love the small ingredient list, all organic and 10% iron and 5g protein.  Yes, they are a little expensive, but look at the ingredients on most baby pouches and foods.  Surprised by amount of fillers and ingredients I can't pronounce.  Most of the fruit ones seem to be good, but when it comes to finding things with protein and iron, these seem to be the best.

Literally the best purchase! These little bud vases worked so well and they were really nice, packaged well, etc. I think it ended up being a little over $1 a piece for them. Better than Goodwill or the Dollar Store!

The best hack for events! I bought two bags of these bows.  The first bag, I used most of them to make several bow garlands (Just hot glued them together) to use as decor on the tables and fireplace.  The rest of them, I wrapped around candles, on the twine clothes garland, on the tablescape. EVERYWHERE.  An easy detail!

Used this stand for a backdrop. Aunt to be created balloon arch to attach to the side and we drapped some pearls and bow garland as well.  This will come in handy for years to come. I went ahead and got the pale pink fabric, but could easily purchase other cover colors.  The fabric was so nice and soft.  Love this thing!

This is the dress I wore. I needed something long sleeve and long since the shower was in January (it was cold).  I received a lot of compliments on this dress. Perfect for boy or girl baby shower!
