Baby Girl Sprinkle

Filed Under: Uncategorized // April 10, 2023

In mid-February, we hosted family and local friends for a little sprinkle at home to celebrate our baby girl on the way. Since it was just after Valentine’s Day, the theme was “She will be loved.” Indeed she will be, honestly, she already is so, so loved. Her brothers are constantly asking about her and expressing their excitement about her arrival.

I know baby sprinkles can be controversial but we have wanted to celebrate each baby of ours. For our firstborn, we had a baby shower celebration at a garden restaurant. For our second baby, also a boy, we decided to keep things simpler. We had just moved into our home, after all. So, we had a baby sprinkle and housewarming in one. For our third baby, we decided to celebrate as a combined baby sprinkle and Mother’s Day luncheon at our home.

For this baby, everyone was excited to buy baby girl clothes and gifts for us for a change, and it showed. Even though it was a “sprinkle,” we have been showered with love, support and presents. At first, I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by how many presents we received but once my cousin and I separated her clothing by sizes, it felt much more manageable and her closet is all set up. In fact, it was one of the first little projects I finished for her.

I just recently finished her nursery nook and packed our hospital bags so we are pretty ready.

Now, we just wait on her but we know for sure she will be here by next week!

Mother’s Day Tea Party Baby Sprinkle

Filed Under: baby #3, baby sprinkle, Uncategorized // February 20, 2023

I recently realized I have never shared our baby sprinkle for baby 3. It was a hit with my family, many of whom had never had a tea party. I like to try different themes and introduce new experiences so I was glad they had a great time.

We have had celebrations for each baby. We had a baby shower for our first son, followed by a house warming baby sprinkle for our second, a mother’s day tea party for our third, and a love-themed sprinkle for our fourth and final baby.

Here are some photos of our tea party baby sprinkle:

Virtual Fun for Baby #3’s Sprinkle

When I was pregnant with my firstborn, we had a beautiful baby shower celebration at a garden restaurant. I went all out with decor and favors. For our second baby, also a boy, we decided to keep things simple. We had just moved into our home, after all. So, we had a baby sprinkle with family at our new home.

For our third baby, another boy!, I have decided to celebrate, as well but I think I am combining it with an intimate and very small family-only Mother’s Day luncheon at our home to minimize my exposure to others, given the state of the world, and see my broader group of friends and family virtually. Despite being a little sad that I can’t celebrate with all of my loved ones as I would traditionally, I am still so excited.

I can’t wait to share the theme and the decor with you all. But I am keeping those details under wraps until then. For now, I can share about an aspect I am planning on doing that I think would be fun for others hosting virtual baby showers or other virtual celebrations.

Bar None Games is the #1 virtual live trivia company that brings fun and joy to people with 60-75 minute team trivia games. It’s an exciting way to connect with friends from all over the country to celebrate your new baby! They’ve already hosted over 600 games, connecting 10,000 people from around the nation and the globe. It’s exactly what we need during these strange times.

The Bar None Baby Shower trivia game, made especially for baby showers, features a baby celebrity picture round, specialty music round, and tons of general knowledge and pop culture trivia inspired by newborns. You can also add custom questions of your own or include specific rounds that focus on certain interests to personalize the experience for the expecting parents.

I recently attended a virtual baby shower and the trivia portion was my favorite part of the celebration. It was a fun and unique way to keep all of us guests engaged and interacting with the expectant parents. I highly recommend incorporating trivia into your next virtual celebration and I can’t wait for my sprinkle with Bar None Games!

Sprinkled with Love

Filed Under: baby sprinkle, pregnancy // February 19, 2018

On Saturday, our families “sprinkled” us with love. Some people didn’t know the symbolism behind “sprinkle.” For those of you who don’t either, it’s similar to a baby shower in that it is a celebration of a pregnancy/ expectant mom.

The difference is it is usually for a second, third, etc. baby whereas a baby shower is for the first. Because of that, and because the expectant parents have a lot of baby items already, guests sprinkle –instead of shower– them with presents instead.

My cousin/ sister/best friend Trish went above and beyond putting the decor together. She had help from my cousin and aunts — they did such a great job. Everything was so cute. Without further ado, here are some photos:

To Have a Baby Sprinkle or Not…

That was the question.

When we found out we were pregnant again, we had so much going on that having a big baby shower like I did last pregnancy was the last thing on my mind. Plus, it’s another boy. I toyed with the idea of a baby sprinkle but because we were so busy, I kept putting off making a decision about whether to have one or not.

When my best friend (who’s also my cousin and S’ godmom) kept asking whether I wanted a sprinkle, I spoke to my husband about it because I wasn’t sure and I was stressed with the move. He thought we should celebrate this pregnancy and Baby #2. I agreed but I did/do not have the time nor energy to plan anything. So, I took my cousin up on her offer to plan it. I sent her some of my pins from my Pinterest board and I was done with the planning on my end.

I also made the decision not to make a public registry like I did for S. Since this baby is another boy, we have much of what we will need (clothing, strollers, car seat, etc.) so it did not seem necessary to register for baby items. Even if it were a girl, we’d still have basically everything but girly clothes. I mean, we already have four diaper bags, three strollers, two car seats, and countless clothes!

What more do we need? Diapers. So that’s what I’ve asked for in lieu of traditional presents. If people are feeling extra generous, they are also able to contribute to the baby’s Cord Blood Registry fund. The sprinkle will be at our home so it will be more low key and intimate than my baby shower.

When it came to figure out what to wear, this pretty floral wrap dress was a front-runner. It is bright multi-colored, flattering and so comfortable. Plus, like much of Pink Blush’s clothing, it seems like it can be worn as non-maternity, too. If you’re in the market for maternity clothing that is chic, trendy and not frumpy, I can’t recommend Pink Blush enough.
