Ahoy! It's a Boy!

My mom and I decided to have a baby shower for The Boy. Because I have three girls, I don't have anything boy gender. She asked if I wanted it to be a surprise, but because I love doing parties I definitely wanted to have a hand in it!

We decided to go with a Nautical theme for the baby shower.

Here are some of the Party favors. We made all the labels on the Cricut using the Life's a Beach cartridge. We filled the gummy bag with gummy sharks, and Swedish fish. The pretzel rods were dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with red and white sprinkles.

 
We made the Banner with the Cricut also!
 
 The white plastic forks and knives we wrapped in blue napkins and tied a mint around them with hemp. We also made paper boats (thanks to my hubby for knowing how!!) and put a skewer with a flag on it, and mints inside!


 Peanut enjoying cake, and the present table and a glimpse of my belly :) 

 I'll be back later with more pictures of the cake and other things!
 
 
Have a great day!

Stir Fry lunch

While I'm eating lunch, I thought I might as well show you what I made! Thanks to the Blogger app I can do that :)

Quick, easy, Gluten-free and vegetarian!

Stir-fry bowel of stuff!!

 
First I put butter in a pan, and cut up a few pieces of onion. I let that cook for a minute, then I added carrots, pea pods, and broccoli. I let that cook for a minute or two stirring constantly with a rubber spatula. When the veggies were kinda tender, I pushed them to the side in the pan, and cracked and egg. I fried the egg and broke it all up into pieces. I then mixed it all together, and poured in the rice I had premade in the fridge. (I try to keep rice made at all times, being Gluten-Free it makes life easier)I then added a little more butter, a couple shakes of rice vinegar, a sprinkle of brown sugar, and cooked it all together. Add salt and pepper to taste! YUM!!
I didn't keep an measurements, I just throw things together for lunch, and decided, "yum, this is good, I'll blog about it!" :)
 
 
Have a great day!
