I know, it took everything I had not to do an “April Showers” theme… had I known the weather we’d be having, it would have been perfect!
The party was this weekend, and we had a fun time. We have a great room at my complex that I rent out often. It’s free to use, and [...]

Because she lives in Chicago, we haven’t actually “met”, but Jessica and I have talked on the phone and emailed frequently. She is the mastermind behind many of my favorite pieces of jewelry, JessLC.com, and we all love her Make Under My Life blog.
Thank you Jess for the ohbaby shower!
Many of you have left comments [...]

Good morning, ohbrooke readers! My name is Jess of MakeunderMyLife, and I’m a blog friend of Brooke. I’m so excited for her and her new baby! Since we live all over the world, coordinating a blogging baby shower in California might be unrealistic (read: impossible). So I had the idea to have a little party [...]

Brilliant Whitney!
Those of you who know me, are aware that I don’t “do” dogs. But, this is adorable, nonetheless.

My friend Nicki’s shower was last week, and it was perfect. My friend and I did all the decorating and food prep the night before, so there was literally no stress the day of the shower. The trick to a well-themed party is repetition, repetition, repetition. We made sure we kept our theme evident: the [...]
