    DIY Baby Dress Centerpiece

    When I began planning Jessica’s baby shower, I came across this idea on Pinterest (source) but I had no idea how I would get the dresses to stand up. While picking Cory’s brain about what I could use, he mentioned that he thought he could build a stand for the dresses out of some material he had at work. I’m so blessed to have a super smart husband who designed and built the dress stands for me. Since I’ve had such a huge response on my Sweet Beginnings Baby Shower on how I was able to get the dresses stand up, I thought I would share the baby dress centerpiece…

    DIY Cupcake Stand

    Remember a few weeks ago when I promised I would do a tutorial for the DIY cupcake stand I made for Kaylen’s 1st birthday? Well, here it is! Sorry it’s taken me so long to get in on here but things were cray cray right after the party trying to get Cory ready for Africa. This past week I’ve been the clingy wife I said I wasn’t because I’ve been so happy to have him home. Anyway…back to the tutorial. When Jessica and I were planning the party, we knew we wanted two cupcake stands. Have you ever tried to find cute cupcake stands? They don’t exist. So, I turned…
