Simple Baby Shower Punch

Are you in search of a simple baby shower punch?  This is the one that I have used at all of my showers and it has always been a hit.  And the best part is that it is SIMPLE!!


4 2-liters Sprite
2 half gallons of your favorite Sherbet (my favorite is Rainbow)

Put 1 half gallon of Sherbet in a punch bowl.  Add a 2 liter of sprite.  The Sherbet will begin to melt and make a great tasting punch.  Continue to freshen up the punch with Sherbet and Sprite.

It doesn’t get any easier than that!!!

Beach Wedding Themes

As people are starting to opt for less traditional weddings, beach weddings are becoming more and more popular. It is a much more relaxed setting for the big day.  These weddings can be less stressful and definitely a lot cheaper.

Baby Showers Gifts

So, you have baby showers coming up and you have no clue what baby showers gifts to get.  Well below are some practical tips on what to get for that expecting mom.

The first thing you can do is to check to see if she has a gift registry.  This really takes the guest work out of it and you know that you will be giving her something that she needs and will use. If there is no gift registry or you do not like using one, here are some other great ideas.

One thing they will not have enough of is disposable diapers.  Diapers is always a good gift.  If you want to be a little more creative, you can get them a Diaper Cake

Another winner is gift cards.  You can give them a gift card to WalMart or Target. This will allow them to get any items that they are lacking.  Another great idea is to get them a gift card to their favorite take out restaurant.  The last thing that the new mom is going to want to do is cook.
