What are some things our readers could easily copy from your event in order to get the look?īalloons! Lots of them and in different colors. My hygiene isn’t what it used to be, and I just don’t care about our paw print-covered duvet anymore! But, I just take it day by day, task by task and when something gets missed, I try to let it go and not make a big deal of it! I try. I have breakdowns, I cry, I have mom guilt and my toenails look like a vulture got them. And if they say they are, they are lying-and I’m one of them. But, I am telling you, you think other moms are ‘doing it,’ but they aren’t. That way I’m sure not to book anything else and can just focus on myself and my little family. Blocking out dates in my calendar to spend time with just my family has been a really great tool for me lately. When I am home, I try my best to be fully “present” and “home.” But it’s a really tough balance, especially being a new mom.
It’s hard and sometimes I don’t! I mean I try, and I am constantly working on it. Boob, Au Lait, ASOS and Hatch all have a great maternity lines!

There was just so much love going around and I kept thinking, “This is for you, little Leo! Everyone is here for you!” Other details such as the wooden signs added to the overall playfulness of Leo’s first party while giving a natural way of adding signage to the yard.Īll of the amazing vendors, companies, friends and family that went out of their way to make it beyond perfect for our family was more than we could have ever expected or asked for. Where did you source all of the sweet custom details, like the “Baby Leo” coasters, cocktail sticks and wooden signs?ĬountDown Events worked with their favorite artisans to blend an assortment of details working with the lion symbols, along with more fun details like, “Roar Like a Lion.” The design of the napkins and coasters printed by Love by Phoebe played with the illustration of a lion with a crown, and gave guests the opportunity to write a sweet note for Leo. We wanted a laid-back atmosphere for guests to feast and graze throughout the party. We wanted a burst of flavors with every bite along with some favorite comfort food items. Tell us about the menu for the baby shower.

With this in mind, I contacted Soha Lavin and her team from the fabulous event planning company CountDown Events, whom I’ve worked with on a number of occasions. When thinking about Leo’s Sip & See event, I knew I wanted something that was playful, but still elegant and effortless.

Jillian worked with CountDown Events to put together what can only be described as one dreamy “Sip & See” baby shower for little Leo, and we’re showing off the entire soirée below.
