A Shower for Elsie.

My friend, Ashley, is days away from meeting her second daughter, Elsie.  We celebrated a couple weekends back with a little shower.  She blogged about it here with her awesome photo skills.  Here are a few phone pics I took documenting the party-planning.  Much of the ideas were found on Pinterest (duh). Can't wait to meet her new addition!

 

These photos were taken before Ashley's mom brought her DELICOUS chicken salad and cookie salad to add to the mix.  You can find those recipes on Ashley's blog.

 

Me and the Guest of Honor!

Our awesome (and hot!) mamas!

 Love you, Ash!

Suited up.

I know it's only 30 degrees outside, but what better time to stock up on new swimwear than when it's 60% off?!  I love that LimeRicki has cute suits that actually cover your behind and don't make you feel like you have to tip to around in order to be sure all of your parts stay in the right places.  Two years ago I ordered a one-piece suit and was very satisfied with the quality.  Here are the pieces I snagged a few days ago in preparation for our Spring Break trip.  

Best part? My grand total was only $30 with shipping!

Happy shopping!
