Making Memories: Baby in Bloom Baby Shower Pics and Life Update w/Recipe Links

Wow! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family.

We had a ton of people show up for the baby shower to surround my daughter and son-in-law with love… it was AMAZING!!! I didn’t get as many pictures as I’d liked to have, some of them have been misplaced or accidentally deleted, and I won’t be sharing some that I did get because I didn’t get permission to post them from other people but we will share what we can and hope that it can inspire you.

This is really rather simple to make and you can save the egg yolks to throw in some scrambled eggs for breakfast. This is extra delicious when you pair it with some fresh strawberries but I think any fruit would probably be good with it.
