Showered with lurve
Heyyyy
How’s your day been? Mine has been a lovely day in Valdizzy.
As soon as I got into town, I got right to biznazz and stopped at two faves:
Main Squeeze for a green juice
and Longhorn for a sweet potato and veggies.
It was a glorious little snack ![]()
After snacking, stopping to run some quick errands, I went over to help set up for Jeni’s baby shower.
We had the shower at Stage 51, which is a super cute wine and coffee bar. Of course it opened right after I moved ![]()
We set out vases of fresh flowers,
and a table with the game info, cards for the guests to write out their address for thank-you notes, and baby pictures of the mom and dad-to-be.
The favors were chocolate bars with homemade wrappers that our friend Meara made:
check out the nutrition stats ![]()
LURVE.
Cakes (of the diaper and chocolate variety)
food!!! (bruschetta, pita, cheese platter, hummus, olive tapenade, vegan tomato bisque, fresh fruit, mini red velvet cupcakes)
Gifts galore:
It was a gorgeous shower for an amazing friend- I was so happy I could be here this weekend to celebrate ![]()
I’m off to dinner with Jeni and her family!
See ya in the morning <3

Looks like so much fun! I bet it was hard to stick to the detox with all those treats 🙂
girl, you have no idea
How adorable and CHIC! Love it!!

That spread of food looks to die for!
Those nutritional stats are the best I’ve ever seen 🙂 how sweet and thoughtful… and what a great place for an intimate party!
I love baby showers! I find them so sweet and I love looking at all the cute packaging and cute colors 😉
Looks like a lot of tasty food!!
xxoo
That looks amazing!! Love the nutritional stats on the bar!!! How you could stay on a detox with all those treats is beyond me!
So fun!!! Looks like she had an amazing shower!!! I love those chocolate bars nutrition stats 🙂
Yeah, a detox with those treat around….I would have failed big time.
This post made me get super excited for my shower in a few months!
What a beautiful baby shower!
As others already said, I don’t know how you made it through sticking to the detox…I think I would have caved!
I Love that your first stops were to some eateries to get some of your faves! I totally do the same thing!
this is so lovely Gina, I especially like the chocolate wrapper!! Amazing 🙂
I LOVE those candy wrappers – how cute are they!?
That chocolate is so cute!! It’s like Operation Beautiful for food:)
Slash that cake is absolutely beautiful, now I am craving frosting!
What a beautiful spread! The chocolate bars are such a cute idea!!
What a beautiful shower!! Omg I just started crying b/c I remember my baby shower. I swear, just seeing babies, pregnant women, or the word shower..and I am a pile of estrogen. Many blessings to Jeni and her family 🙂
“a table with the game info, cards for the guests to write out their address for thank-you notes”-
OMG THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!! Nothing worse than being at the tail end of pregnancy, super tired, and trying to find ppl’s addresses and writing out thank you cards. I think that thank you cards and skipping them should be the rule when you’re 8 mos pregnant. Or in my case, my shower was 2 days before I went into labor. Thank you cards weren’t on my brain!
Oh WOW! I love all of the decor, and the cake, and those chocolate bars!! I hope you had a great afternoon celebrating with your friend. By the looks of things it wouldn’t have been difficult! 🙂
This looks like such a great baby shower, and really good food, too 🙂
I love diaper cakes! I’ve made quite a few of them and they are such cute gifts.
OH my gosh, what an adorable baby shower! I absolutely love the candy bars! Baby shower games are so much fun too. 🙂
So sweet!!! What a lucky mommy-to-be!
WOW, I love those chocolate bars- what a great idea 🙂 Glad you had fun there, lady!!
That is such a beautiful baby shower! They are always SO fun to attend!
i LOVE the chocolate wrapper! way cute!
the best is that you made the effort/travelled to be there, gina…gifts are great, but when people take the time to attend/contribute…that’s what really makes the celebration special.
Those nutrition stats are so cute! I can only imagine a real product having stats like those 😉
Love that baby shower! I love seeing these beautiful showers that all the Air Force wives throw for one another. 🙂 Gives me ideas for other showers that I’m sure I’ll throw in the future, since all of my friends are having babies now. 🙂
Cute shower — love the idea of having guests address their thank you cards.
Winter shape up request — HIIT ideas that are easy on the knees and can be done at home. Love the site!
such a cute baby shower! i love that there were baby pics of the mom- and dad-to-be! 🙂
ahhh so cute!! the chocolate wrapper is the BEST idea ever.. LURVe that too… cant wait for this weeks shape up!
Wonderful pictures of the shower! And such a great afternoon with friends!
For this weeks shape up – maybe for each set one abs move so at the end there is no doubt you had a killer abs workout. And I’ve liked the balance of biceps\triceps each week – it’s been intense and doable. Thanks again for posting the workouts!
The diapers from my diaper cake lasted me almost 2 weeks! I’d never even heard of such a thing before my own shower, but it’s such a cute idea 🙂
Looks like it was a lovely shower!! I’m glad you are having a fun time visiting!
Would love ways to blast upper arm jiggle. My tri-cep exercises are just not doing it. thanks girl!!
Ahh that chocolate wrapper is so cute! It looks like it was a beautiful shower! 🙂
Love the little chocolate wrapper! What a nice setting for the shower, too.
Also just wanted to say that after your post mentioning socca the other day, I went out to buy some garbanzo bean flour and I made some and i am in love!
Those chocolate bars are great! Now if only ALL chocolate bars had those kind of stats! It looks like your friend had a wonderful turnout and great food and decorations. I am happy that you could be there for your friends special day 🙂
The nutrition stats are so funny! I’m filing that idea away for future baby showers. It looks like a lovely party with a great spread. The best part…the whole party seemed to be oozing love, which is really the most important thing of all.
Oh my gosh that is SUCH an adorable shower!! I love love love the chocolate bar wrapper…I love the “Vitamins” line. Heh heh.
