a baby "sprinkle"

a few weeks ago i got to plan a baby "sprinkle" for one of my besties out here in california..

she was due with her second babe, so instead of a full shower we called it a "sprinkle"

because who doesn't love any chance to celebrate? we did a book shower and did a few fun games. even though it was just a sprinkle, we had 2 fun ideas i wanted to share here:

• baby picture game: have every guest bring a baby photo of themselves and attach it to their present in place of the card. then, the expecting mom has to guess who each picture is as she opens gifts. it was entertaining + sparked conversation.
  
  
• baby candy game: my close friend told me about this game and i knew i had to do it. it's so funny and definitely memorable! you just have to go get all these different candies below, and then pair them up with paper print-outs of the matching words/phrases. you hand out candy to some and the papers to others, then you have people try to find their corresponding match! once everyone is paired up, you can go around and have people read theirs..then, leave the candy with the pregnant mom for all of her candy cravings! :) here is the list:
  
  

snickers: baby giggles

swedish fish: sperm

baby ruth: baby girl name

3 musketeers: triplets

skor bar: night of conception

lifesavers: epidural

baby spit up: goobers

milky way-:breast milk

payday: day of delivery

sugar daddy: father

tootsie rolls: tiny toes

whoppers: contractions

doublemint gum: twins

hershey's kisses: baby kisses

sugar babies: sweet infants

mike & ike: twin boys

red ropes (licorice): umbilical cord

hot tamales: heart burn

milk duds: non-lactating boobs

^^like i said, hilarious!

i love tara so much and we are so happy that her cute baby girl has now arrived!

she is the best mom and seriously i kept forgetting she was even pregnant because

she is wonder woman: working full time, being the cutest mom and friend, and coming to the gym 

with me all the time. she's unreal! we kept the "sprinkle" just simple & pink..

pink sugar cookies, and fruit + yogurt parfaits with strawberries & honey. love you tara!

^^ here's my baby picture, she couldn't guess! ^^
