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).
Gross title, but it’s not what you think. I am the opposite of a hoarder, I love to get rid of items.
I am not a very sentimental girl. I don’t keep old movie stubs, I don’t keep awards I earned throughout my school years, and I most certainly don’t keep anything I don’t like just because someone gave it to me as a gift. But I am not completely heartless. I do enjoy photographs, I hold on to books I’ve enjoyed and will definitely read again, and I’ve kept every romantic card/letter Alex has ever written to me. I take pride in the fact that I am cutthroat when it comes to making decisions and I know many people who could benefit from my purging skills.
