One of my good friends, Krissy, is having a baby girl! My friend Kristy and I have been excited about putting together her baby shower since the day we found out she was pregnant. Ideas about games, food, gifts, etc have been floating around our minds for months. So when the time came to finally sit down and plan, it took us all of about 10 minutes to know exactly what we needed to do. Kristy took care of all the decorations (and pretty much bought every gift a mommy-to-be needs!) and I worked on the party games. Of course we both contributed in the food department, as well. Kristy is a great baker, and always makes everything look beautiful, too. She made devils food cake cupcakes with strawberry frosting, topped with pink pearls and a cute little pink pacifier. Another guest made a chocolate cake, pictured below, decorated for the shower. I made a great pasta salad from Katie’s Cucina and Hershey’s cookies and cream cookie bars from Picky Palate.
We had so much fun putting together the party for Krissy and it was great to spend time with her. She lives all the way up in Palm Beach Gardens, so we don’t see her often, but that needs to change — especially when her precious baby girl enters the world! She is due in October and really looks great for as far along as she is. I am so excited for her!


The party guests loved the bars, the pasta salad and Kristy’s cupcakes. There were lots of other snacks and goodies to indulge in, too. Krissy may have been the only pregnant one there but I think we all left the parties with little “food babies” in our bellies.
