I don’t enjoy playing the typical baby shower games. Smelling “dirty” diapers to guess the candy bar – no thank you. Drinking apple juice out of a baby bottle, I’ll pass. But I am a competitive person and when hosting a baby shower you need activities to fill the time so my favorite go-to shower game is Jeopardy. I like that you play the game in teams allowing various groups at the party to interact and with a set number of questions you know the game won’t go on forever.
Our daughter’s 2nd birthday party was farm themed and I knew I wanted to make some type of barnyard animal cake to top off the day. I considered making a cow and a horse but my bright husband suggested a pig because you only need one color frosting for piping. Done!
We had to switch the party from Sunday to Saturday so I had one less day of prep. I have learned over time that keeping things simple is the smart way to go. See instructions below for how to create an easy pig birthday cake (or pig cake for any farm-themed occassion).
Any time I’m feeling down or just need a little something to brighten my day I turn to one of two things, ice cream or dog-shaming (maybe both).
I think I find dog-shaming so funny because I can actually visualize the dog in the act. Plus by just looking at a dog’s face you know if the dog realizes he/she did something naughty. Other animals (especially stupid cats) just don’t have those shameful faces. Here are just a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
