Sweet Dreams Baby Shower

A Sweet Dreams Baby Shower

On Saturday we celebrated one of my very, very best friends Amberlee with a Sweet Dreams baby shower for her baby boy. She’s only a couple of months (at the most!) from meeting her son, Carter Lee, and everyone who loves Amberlee couldn’t be more excited for her to become a mom!

Sweet Dreams Baby Shower

A Sweet Dreams Baby ShowerWe held the shower in our hometown in Alabama, and three of Amberlee’s long-time best friends all came together with me to throw it. Because Amberlee is known for her love of candy, we had a candy bar set up along with the cutest little party favors that our friend Holly hand-made! These little tea bags were a hit!

A Sweet Dreams Baby ShowerInstead of a regular guest book, we ordered one of Amberlee’s favorite childhood books and asked guests to write messages to Amberlee and Carter throughout the book.

A Sweet Dreams Baby ShowerI found the punch recipe on Pinterest here, and though it was supposed to be more bright blue than green, it was still absolutely delicious!

A Sweet Dreams Baby ShowerSince the shower was held at 1 p.m., we decided to keep the menu light with a few different finger foods.

IMG_1403Here’s Amberlee (centered) with two of her best friends and hosts, Morgan and Holly!

IMG_1406Here’s Amberlee with her beautiful mother, the grandma-to-be! How amazing does Amberlee look for 32 weeks pregnant?! We all agree that she could model maternity clothes!

IMG_1410 IMG_1416 IMG_1431 IMG_1443Here’s Amberlee (left) with the third host, Ashley, and one of our very best friends!

IMG_1449And here I am with her! It’s so sweet to celebrate such a huge life milestone with someone I’ve called a best friend for 17 years! I’m so thankful to have a friend like her.

IMG_1441Here are the four musketeers and my best friends from high school. It’s so rare that we’re all home at the same time, and we had a really fun weekend together!

IMG_1454We love you Amberlee & Brandon and cannot wait for your precious little guy to get here! Seven weeks and counting. 🙂

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
