On the List

Well the day for the baby shower has finally arrived, and this Auntie-to-be is beyond excited. Prior to the shower we’re headed to our local salon/spa to have our hair and makeup done (because this is a special occasion after all) then it’s off to our baby shower venue to get everything prepped, and get ourselves checked in at the hotel.

For an inside look at the baby shower, and our girls weekend keep an eye on my Insta-Stories where you’ll get a sneak peek before the blog posts go up next week.
