Gender Reveal Fun

My little sister is expecting! The youngest of us 3 sisters is having a baby in July and we are so excited. She and her husband have showered nieces and nephews with love and now it's our turn! My sis has decided to do a small gender reveal with close family - except "small" is not how our family does anything, especially when it comes to celebrations.

It started with a Pinterest search for "gender reveal" to find cupcake ideas. And then....I saw it. Tannerite + chalk. Explosions in blue and pink. Yes, we are blowing s*@# up to reveal whether I will have a new niece or nephew. Within 30 minutes we had a full-on invite designed for more than just close family. The middle sister has agreed to host at the farmhouse and end the party with a bonfire.

With any explosion, safety is number one. So of course, following the theme, I made cards for each guest so their hearing stays intact while we have some noisy gender revealing fun! Enjoy the inspiration!

Thursday Threads: Fall Pinspiration

Life is busy, busy this week. Mr. E starts his first day {second year} of 'school' today. I am also planning his third birthday party for this Saturday. It's crunch time! The temperatures outside are finally bearable and even enjoyable. The mornings have that cool, damp feel and the breeze leaves a certain clean smell of a new season in the air.

Some people LOVE fall and are giddy with excitement with first signs of colored leaves and different shades of apples. One such person is my dear sister-in-law {you may know her as Sparkly Sandy}. Sandy introduced me to my wonderful hubby. Our meeting was by sheer 'accident'...a story for another day. Unfortunately, Sandy has recently suffered a very severe bilateral ankle injury. Things could have been worse, but she has a long road to recovery. She is one of my dearest friends and I know God will keep her going through thick and thin! Please send your thoughts and prayers. I love ya sis!

We are gearing up to enjoy the cooler weather and fun that fall brings. Hope this inspires you as well for the coming season!
