Peek's Baby Shower

July 22, 2014/ treanab

I am nothing if I am not a promise keeper. After I posted the onesie DIY tutorial, I said I'd let y'all in on Peek's baby shower. Well, WELCOME! And you're welcome. Sam and I put our heads together and threw Peek a baby shower at our house a few weekends ago. We used some streamers and white lanterns that I have on deck for the wedding to add some pizzaz to the front porch. (I love walking into a party knowing I am at the right spot because of the decorations outside). Peek baby shower

I also put this sign on the front door... instructions are important people.

We picked up some simple pink decorations at Target: Pink silverware, napkins, and plates. (KISS: keep it simple stupid)

Sam made this too cute for school Baby Branz banner for fun decor.

And she also made this OWL!!!!!! I die. Peek is gonna take it and frame it up for baby girl branz.

Again Sam with the cupcakes. She even made the flags people. They featured feet, bottles, and rattles. The rattles tasted the best... I kid. They were all amazing.

You might recognize these coffee filter flowers from this little ol' blog that we are using for the wedding. We had this basket laying around and it stored the flowers perfectly.

Our modest but sweet table scape.

We also printed out a tree and had the guests ink their fingers and sign their names. Sam brought over an extra frame and Peek was excited to take it home and fill in Baby Girl's name.

On with the fun people and baby pictures. (note, the baby is not the baby that Peek is having... she is still preggo. The baby is Ella and she is adorb and it seems as though I camera stalked her). Babies at a baby shower are the stars of the show.

Just two married peeps, having a casual convo. :)

I am getting a little upset...

Annnnnnnd, I've lost it. I love her sweet momma swooping in in the background. Adorb.

SAMMIE!

Adam, Denver's best chef (for real), and my Peek girl!

And this is her beautiful momma who came from St. Louis for the shower... she also made us the heaviest afghan ever and I almost want it to be winter so I can snuggle with it on the couch.

Thanks for coming y'all!

House of Bennetts

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Oh well oh well oh well-a. Huh! Those summer nights. #youdownwithlmb

He’s just the lesson on loving your kiddo so so well and that life and parenting are forever tries. The things he’s taught her can be summed up into... everything. #youdownwithlmb #lmbanddada @robrich23

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this

I never understood that all kids are miracles when I was growing up. I didn’t have parents who... well any of it. And yet, I never really feared becoming a parent because I was going to do it better (have you met me?). And then God gave me this miracle. This force of a human. This incredibly hilarious, loving, strong, gorgeous miracle. We’ve been trying to give her a sibling for on and off two years now while still doing it “better”. So here’s what I know for sure this Mother’s Day: love yourself no matter how you became a mom. Love how you parent from a place of love and forever tries. If you’re lucky enough to have a mom who loved you, the best she could, try to love her for that too. Love those miracles you’ve got. And rest today in the knowledge that you just are doing it better— own that. Happy Mother’s Day to all. If you can’t get to happy today, you’re good sis. Get off the social media and get some good air into those lungs— Mother’s Day is hard. I see you.

Scenes from quarantine. We’ve hit two weeks here folks. Thanks to their daily walks, Lyla and daddy are doing great. This is a lot of family/at home time and it’s hard. #itsgettingchippy #stayhome #covid_19 #youdownwithlmb

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matte

It’s taken a week for me to be okay posting about our vacation to Mexico. What was supposed to be a relaxing, family filled trip, was a giant stressball. The resort we actually stayed at was an absolute nightmare... and not a resort. What matters though is that Lyla had a blast and keeps asking when we can go to Mexico again. #youdownwithlmb

A simply excellent weekend with seeing my favorite humans everyday. #youdownwithlmb @lwbranz @adambranz

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It&rsqu

My physical TBR/to be finished pile is ummmmm... a lot. I’ve gotten off to a nice slow reading start with only 4 books done in the new year. I’m listening to Know My Name and it should be required listening for all High schoolers. It’s very triggering in large and small ways for me, but it’s so important to know her name and her story. @chanelmillerknowmyname @ashleyspivey #spiveys📚club
