This weekend, Toby, Anton, and I went to our buddy Erika’s child bathe…
As quickly as we walked into the restaurant, we realized the infant bathe can be as stylish and down-to-earth as Erika is. First off, males have been invited, so her husband Christian, her father-in-law, and man mates mingled among the many women, and naturally I obtained to carry my very own two boys. They adore Erika as a result of she’s humorous, pleasant, and candy sufficient to speak basketball with them; we even went to a Liberty game together a couple of months in the past.
Sandwiches, pastries, and grocery-store sheet cake (from Wegmans! so good!) ran down the bar, and we drank iced coffees. A two-tiered cake stand provided up their favourite cookies from childhood: monster cookies for Erika, and linzer tarts for Christian. White balloons bopped in opposition to the ceiling, and the couple’s personal child images stood framed on the tables.

However my favourite half? Erika’s sister Sarah had created essentially the most cute scrapbook for the infant.
Once I requested her about it, Sarah mentioned it was straightforward: she’d purchased a Semikolon guest book and caught in self-adhesive library pockets. Then, she snapped visitors’ images with a mini instant camera and taped them on every web page.
I favored that the notecards had prompts, so that you instantly obtained concepts for what to jot down. “I needed one thing that resembled a library card,” Sarah instructed me. “So, I designed playing cards on Canva, printed them on cardstock, and reduce them out.”
The boys and I crammed out our playing cards. I liked studying their solutions — Anton mentioned the infant’s first ebook needs to be Brown Bear (his personal favourite from his baby days) and Toby leveled up with The Nice Gatsby. My reply? cupofjo.com, in fact.
“We learn all of the notes final night time, simply Christian and me,” Erika instructed me at the moment. “Some have been goofy; some have been emotional. We each cried.”
How beautiful is the scrapbook thought? What different child bathe concepts have you ever loved? I liked my motherhood book. xo
P.S. How I changed my mind about baby showers, Anton’s baby shower, and the advice cards at baby showers.
