Baby Shower's are an Exciting Time, Especially in February

This February, with family and friends who are having baby showers, this is a great time to look at all the fun and exciting baby shower favors which can be purchased at right at your fingertips.
Whether there is a baby shower for a baby girl or baby boy, the baby shower favors that you need are always in supply and shipped out to you promptly too.

Sometimes, life gets a little busy and important dates or times are forgotten. This can be avoided by hosting a surprise baby shower for your family member or friend expecting their baby. Surprises are fun, especially when it comes to family members or friends hosting a baby shower in your honor.

Even if you think hosting a surprise baby shower is costly, that is not the case. There are plenty of baby shower favors that we well within your financial buget. There are cute and elegant baby shower favors at prices that will fit within your buget. Take for instance the Daisy Pod Baby Shower Seeds Favors, the Baby Shower Personalized Hand Cream, the Baby Shower Personalized Lip Balm, the Choice Crystal Baby Pacifier, the Classic Hand-Dipped Marshmallows on Sticks With Bows, Gourmet Chocolate Rice Krispy Treats and so many more wonderful baby shower favors to look and order.

Choosing any one, or more, of these baby shower favors will put a smile on your face. Once the guests arrive at the surprise baby shower, they too will have a smile on their face as they see how much thought you put into selecting the baby shower favors and making the baby shower just right for the guest of honor and her guests.

If you are planning on making your own food for the shower, here is one which is easy to prepare and your guests will think you either hired a caterer or it took you all day to make.



Curried Chicken Tea Sandwiches

These are the ingredients you need and this takes no time at all to prepre and make:

Ingredients
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
1 medium unpeeled red apple, chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
3/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
12 slices bread
Lettuce Leaves

Directions
1.In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice and curry powder; add to chicken mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut each slice of bread with a 3-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter. Top with lettuce and chicken salad.

This recipe is for a serving size of 6, so if you plan on having more than 6 guests, these will have to be made well in advance and kept in the refrigerator. All that has to be done is double or triple the recipe and you will have more than enough. Just remember, guests usually eat more than one wedge, so play accordingly.

This is just one of many tea sandwich recipes that can be found online. The important thing is to plan ahead, two months ahead will usually give the hostess(es), plenty of time to purchase the ingredients for any hourdourve and especially purchase the baby shower favors.

TwiceToddlers Mom and a Successful Playdate

As I previously mentioned from my blog article, TwiceToddlers and Their Playdate Saturday, my twins did have their playdate last Saturday with their friend from pre school. I will not give out her name as it is not my business to do so. I normally ask permission before using one of my twins friend's name on my blog. Just out of respect.

Anyway, the three of them had a real good time. Although, have you ever had three girls, toddlers, together in one room at once? Well, since the weather was undesireable, we had to stay indoors. Otherwise, I had suggested we play in our backyard or go to the park. The heavy and very grey looking clouds are what kept us indoors.

With all the girlie toys we had, all three girls played with the kitchen, utencils, real looking fruits and veggies (on a smaller scale), their barbie dolls, the doll playhouse, princess castle and stuffed animals all in my "great room".

The playdate was two hours, which is plenty of time, in my opinion, for any playdate. If the playdate is longer they that, the children get restless and start fighting.

In the future, we will have to have another playdate with their pre school friend. Hopefully next time, the weather will be nice enough to go outdoors!! Get all that energy out..
