Leah planned the best game for my baby shower back in June – everyone loved it and the prizes were genius! Pretty much, it was a basic game of memory in group fashion. All the cards were labeled with pregnancy/birth terms and there were coordinating candy prizes. Here’s the list … Twins – Mike & […]
It all begin with these adorable invitations courtesy of Lullaby Loo … My dear friend, Leah, stumbled across them and her imagination went wild with the mustache theme for brother.
