"You are my Sunshine" Gender Reveal Collection

I am delighted to share today's Handmade Feature with you from BellaGrey Designs, showcasing their beautiful "You Are My Sunshine" Gender Reveal Collection of party decor. I really love the idea of a "gender reveal" event as an alternative or addition to a traditional baby shower as it gives the parents-to-be the perfect opportunity to share their exciting news with all of their family and friends at once and really capture their reactions. BellaGrey designer and creative director, Jennifer Kirlin has created this amazing display of custom decorative labels, invitations, party favor tags, banners and party signs in a vibrant, neutral color palate of grey and yellow available for your next event.

Jennifer has a wonderful website with a variety of party ideas and inspirations - You can view the full details and ordering information of the above items by visiting her Etsy Shop. We also invite you to follow BellaGrey Designs on Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and product updates.

Lil Edible: Simple Homemade Baby Food Ideas

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Holiday weekend and were able to spend some quality time with your family and friends. Today we have a Lil Edible to share with you that I stumbled upon from Michelle of Rust & Sunshine. On her blog, Michelle takes you through her process of making baby food from scratch with helpful hints on which food combinations tend to work the best. You can find her basic tips and instructions by clicking {here}.

She also shares a great idea of using ice cube trays to separate and freeze the food purees, which can then be transferred to ziploc storage bags for future use. I just {LOVE} this idea of creating the perfect-sized individual portions that can be thawed overnight or microwaved for immediate use.

Newborn Session from Jillian Kirby Photography

I am delighted to share this adorable newborn session with you thanks to Jillian Kirby Photography. Baby Arianna came into the studio with her parents one cloudy day and slept like a dream. They left the creativity of the photo shoot up to Jillian and she not only had a lot of fun with this precious little one, she also captured some amazing images. Just take a look at all of that gorgeous dark hair and beautiful facial expressions. 

I just {LOVE} the classic style of black and white photography...
