I am seriously so excited about today’s post. Last weekend a group of my best girlfriends hosted one our besties baby shower- and I am so excited to share it with all of you finally. Celebrating the soon to come baby boys, quality time with friends, mimosa bars and shower games- everything literally was perfect. It is always the season of baby arrivals- and although the last celebration for this mommy to be again, was about five years ago- I am thrilled to meet the baby- or shall I say- babies! Yep, she is having twin boys- eeeeekkkkk… all the Aunties are stoked. Watching your friends children grow in front of your eyes is seriously so rewarding. So enough babbling, it’s time for #RefreshYourNursery with Diaper Genie…
Since this time around Melinda is pregnant with twins- it was time to have two baby showers. One thrown by her family, and the other thrown by us- her group of bestest friends. One of the items she received at the first baby shower was a Playtex Diaper Genie. Everyone always knows that when it comes to babies- diapers and Diaper Genies are super important- so I felt that it was only natural since someone already got her a diaper genie, to get her some items to go with it- you can never and I repeat NEVER have too many diapers or diaper genie refills with a baby- twins at that.
While at Target picking up some items for her baby shower, I decided to peruse the baby section and ran across the diaper section. That’s when it clicked-ding, ding, ding- a baby gift created around diapers. ha ha ha- I know genius- just kidding. I grabbed some diaper genie refills. Which if you pick up three they have a special promotion {while supplies last} that you will receive a $25 Spa Finder Wellness gift card when you purchase 3 or more diaper genie refills. All you have to do it the following:
– Purchase 3 or more Diaper Genie Refills
– Keep your receipt
– Head to the following website- http://bit.ly/1leqgU7 to redeem your $25 Spa Finder Wellness gift card. Voila- pamper day for you or for the mommy to be. Easy, right?
Fast forward a few days later, the baby shower was AH-MAZING. I am not just saying that because we hosted it- but seriously it was amazing. Since we have Baby Twin Boys coming we went with the theme ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ and things couldn’t have been better. The day was simply perfect. The decorations helped us transform the day into the whole Alice and Wonderland Mad Hatter Tea Party theme. They were all hand created by one of my bestest friends Nicole of the Crafty Broad– seriously she is the most creative person I know- EVER! So be prepared to oooh and awwww at the decor- and immerse yourself into the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party…
We had a mimosa bar completed with champagne, a variety of juices {cranberry, pineapple and orange juice} with various fruit add-ins from pomegranate seeds, strawberries and raspberries- ummmmmm… Champagne with Pineapple Juice and pomegranate seeds is to die for- just saying!!! A food spread of mini croissant sandwiches with egg salad, Waldorf chicken salad; deli sub dip; pasta salad and much more.
Followed by a few baby shower games: What’s In My Phone?, How Much Does It Cost. Finishing the afternoon off with opening of presents and a slice of yummy cake completed with the theme of baby twin boys a la Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum- so stinking cute.
Gifts and Party Favors of : A tea party to go- the day was amazing, full of love, laughter and great memories.
Needless to say I would call it a baby shower success…

I got a diaper gene at my baby shower. I swear I love that thing so much. It’s totally worth it! I will say though when you have to open that thing to cut the bag its pretty narly.
I typically buy clothes for baby showers. I love shopping for baby clothes.

Diaper genies really do keep the nurseries fresh. My sister-in-law uses them and you’d never know there were dirty diapers in them.
