Hannah and Josh’s Baby Shower

It feels like just yesterday I was blogging about my little sister graduating from high school, starting nursing school, getting engaged, her bridal shower, her wedding, and here I am blogging about her baby shower!

Basically, if you’ve been reading my blog since the beginning, you’ve seen my little sister grow up from age 12 to 20!

Anyways, back to the baby shower. Hannah, Josh, and baby Caroline were showered with love and sweet gifts. It was such a wonderful day!

Mine and Josh’s family spent the evening before the shower decorating, and I worked on baking almost 100 cupcakes. It was really fun to be baking again!

So many family and friends came to our church, which was decorated beautifully. Everyone enjoyed lunch, cupcakes, cookies, and watched the soon-to-be parents open all sorts of adorable gifts.

Hannah and Josh were so overjoyed with all of the gifts the received. It’s safe to say that all they need now is their daughter! It’s hard to believe that she’ll be here in less than two months.

We left the shower feeling such gratitude for the blessing of baby Caroline. I can’t wait to meet her!

Currently: March 2019

We’re somehow about halfway through March right now. I feel like we were just ringing in the new year! Here’s what’s currently going on in my life this month.

Current books I’ve started reading this book as I prepare to co-lead a mom’s group at our church. Sadie has been enjoying this book about Genesis as well as learning sign language from this book, and she adores pulling down the felt flaps in this farm-themed book!

Current excitement My sister’s baby shower is on Saturday! She’s due in two months and I cannot wait to meet baby Caroline 🙂

Current joy Sadie. She’s sweet as can be and becoming more and more interactive each day.

Current beauty product Does a towel count as a beauty product?! This reusable makeup remover towel is so neat–it removes makeup with just water!

Current food Edamame spaghetti. I found it at Aldi for a good price, so I figured we’d give it a whirl. Random, but delicious.

Current laugh I recently hung out with my mom and drove her truck. I parked and grabbed my water bottle (still loving the water bottle from this post, FYI!), only to discover that I took her cup holder along with me. The best part was that I didn’t realize I had the cup holder until I was about 50 feet away from the truck, lol.

Current baked good Graham cracker chocolate chip cookies.

Current indulgence Blogging when I should be doing household chores 😉

Current drink Jimmy and I recently tried the new Cloud Macchiato from Starbucks and it was excellent! Also loving Newman’s Own k-cups and coffee in general, as always!

Current goal To organize and sort through all of Sadie’s clothes.

Current craving Spring weather and a date night with Jimmy!

Current cuteness Mavis and Sadie. They’re best buds ❤

Current blessing Daylight savings time. I am so enjoying the extra daylight hours!

Current obsession Researching chicken keeping. I really don’t need any more living things to take care of but I’ve always wanted to have chickens. I keep telling myself “Don’t do it, Allie” and yet I find myself looking up more and more info…

Current fun Pittsburgh experienced some semi-warm weather over the weekend, so Jimmy and I took Mavis and Sadie for a walk on a local trail. We also went to the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show, which was a blast!
