This weekend, Toby, Anton, and I went to our good friend Erika’s child bathe…
As quickly as we walked into the restaurant, we realized the infant bathe could be as stylish and down-to-earth as Erika is. First off, males have been invited, so her husband Christian, her father-in-law, and man associates mingled among the many women, and naturally I received to convey my very own two boys. They adore Erika as a result of she’s humorous, pleasant, and candy sufficient to speak basketball with them; we even went to a Liberty sport collectively a couple of months in the past.
Sandwiches, pastries, and grocery-store sheet cake (from Wegmans! so good!) ran down the bar, and we drank iced coffees. A two-tiered cake stand provided up their favourite cookies from childhood: monster cookies for Erika, and linzer tarts for Christian. White balloons bopped towards the ceiling, and the couple’s personal child images stood framed on the tables.

However my favourite half? Erika’s sister Sarah had created essentially the most cute scrapbook for the infant.
Once I requested her about it, Sarah mentioned it was simple: she’d purchased a Semikolon visitor e-book and caught in self-adhesive library pockets. Then, she snapped friends’ images with a mini on the spot digital camera and taped them on every web page.
I appreciated that the notecards had prompts, so that you instantly received concepts for what to jot down. “I needed one thing that resembled a library card,” Sarah informed me. “So, I designed playing cards on Canva, printed them on cardstock, and minimize them out.”
The boys and I stuffed out our playing cards. I liked studying their solutions — Anton mentioned the infant’s first e-book needs to be Brown Bear (his personal favourite from his child days) and Toby leveled up with The Nice Gatsby. My reply? cupofjo.com, after all.
“We learn all of the notes final evening, simply Christian and me,” Erika informed me right now. “Some have been goofy; some have been emotional. We each cried.”
How pretty is the scrapbook concept? What different child bathe concepts have you ever loved? I liked my motherhood e-book. xo
P.S. How I modified my thoughts about child showers, Anton’s child bathe, and the recommendation playing cards at child showers.
