eDiaperCakes Giveaway

I’ve been to a few amazing baby showers the past few years and what always surprises me is how beautifully the venue is decorated. The host seems to make sure that everything is perfect. The baby shower is beautiful from top to bottom, from the decor, to the favors, to the game and to the incredible food. On most of the showers I’ve been to, the girls would get together and chip in so that we can buy a diaper cake. Normally, we would try to get a custom diaper cake that resembles the theme of the baby shower. If we can’t, we have one of the girls make one.
I found this diaper cake company online that make these gorgeous diaper cakes. eDiaperCakes has a selection of over 60 themed cakes. What I really love about their cakes is that some of them have books attached to them! I haven’t seen anyone else make them like that. They have a nice variety of diaper cakes for boys,  girls and neutral ones.

Their cakes are also embellished with various baby goodies such as baby socks, pacifiers, mittens, wash cloths, brush & comb, manicure sets and spoons. My personal favorites are the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Good Night Moon!

A Month of Gratitude: Day 30

Activites with Our Children
 
I am thankful that I get to spend time with my children creating. It is a wonderful experience to watch their minds work and faces light up. Trayton got to decorate his own Christmas tree today after finishing his 30 Days of Thankfulness tree (I asked him each day what he was thankful for and we wrote it on a leaf to paste to our drawing.) Fostering artistic growth is an important balance to other disciplines and something that can be started at the earliest of ages.

A Month of Gratitude: Day 29

Holiday Traditions
 
I am thankful for family traditions such as putting up the Christmas lights, tree and decorating the house, baking for different holidays, carving pumpkins at Halloween, dinners, outdoor activities etc. These are the things memories are made of and that we will cherish in years to come.

A Month of Gratitude: Day 28

Technology

Without technology I wouldn't be sharing these posts. I am thankful for so many aspects of technology, from databases and cell phones to medical equipment, including the 3D and 4D ultrasonography which allowed me to see our little girl's features just before Christmas 2011!

A Month of Gratitude: Day 27

Gardens

I am thankful we can grow fruits and vegetables. We helped my parents with their garden this year (since caring for a newborn and garden were out of the question), in exchange for produce. Despite the drought the garden did fairly well and my parents were able to can/freeze several items.

A Month of Gratitude: Day 26

Friends

I am very thankful for the people I get to call friends, and to try to get a picture of everyone or name everyone would make this post so long that you would lose interest in reading. From wonderful acquaintances to tried and true, I really value my friends. Your kindness and support are priceless!

A Month of Gratitude: Day 25

Music

I am thankful for music, for those who create music, the ability to enjoy it, teach it, and to create it myself. Music is personal, it can tell a story or set a context; it can also illustrate or supplement an emotion and create ambiance. I am grateful both of my children show an interest in music; watching them react to various types is really amazing.
