Girly

June 24, 2014

For some reason I’ve become the queen of baby showers. I have no idea why, but I seem to host them all the time. It was not the same with wedding showers. I think I’ve helped with three of those ever… but for some reason, when it comes to babies, I’m all about celebrating.

Now that I’ve hosted so many, I have quite the arsenal of ideas and decor, whether the baby is a boy or a girl. This time around was a shower for Emily and baby girl Lizzie who should be born any day now. Lizzie has an older brother, so Emily wasn’t in need of much baby gear. Rather, we spent the afternoon showering her with adorable baby girl clothes and celebrating a new life!

We decided to stick with girly colors and florals instead of doing an actual theme. The night before the party I made a new pennant banner with pretty floral fabric. We asked the guests to sign a Jesus Storybook Bible as a gift to Lizzie. And my darling community group girls help me host… they put together the flowers and brought almost all the food too! Thank you ladies!

    I LOVE that idea to sign the storybook bible. How sweet!

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
