Baby Shower

It's almost time for my best friend's Baby Shower. And I have so much to do still. Seriously, I might go nuts! I have so much stuff to do. Like making some bunting to decorate with, making some prizes for all the games, oh and some of her presents too.

I'm co-hosting the Baby Shower with some other friends. And I'm traveling to NC for it. Yes, my best friend lives in NC. And after some good planning, it ain't going to cost me a thing to go! How? Well, I'm going to be the Godmother to this little princess. And her Godfather, well he travels a lot. And he has his own transportation to get across the country. Well, I'll be hitching a ride. :)

The 4 hostesses, well we've split up the tasks. The Godfather is letting us have the Baby Shower at his large house. And we're going to cook everything on "Baby Shower Day." Are we nuts? We might be. But that's the way life goes.

I bought some fabric. And I desperately need to make the bunting. I've already cut out some aprons and other kitchen type things. I just need to sit down and sew. Oh, and I need to make a breast feeding cover up. There are still some other little things I need to finish. But I'm positive that I can get it done. Oh, I have 9 days until the Baby Shower! ♫

Pit Stop in a Southern Kitchen

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I LOVE Cookbooks. I've been collecting them for years. Yes, I said years. I especially like the old ones. I find them at Thrift stores and yard sales. But I also go browsing through the bookstore for some fun new ones.

This is one that I recently got as a gift. Yes, it's my favorite cookbook ever! Because Martha and Carol have both included family recipes, and family stories. It's a nice book to just curl up and read. Isn't that weird? That I like to sit and read cookbooks.

Anyway, there are so many recipes that I want to try. I've made a few of the recipes. And they are so yummy! Maybe it's just because I LOVE Southern Food. But this is a really good buy! Run out and get yourself a copy. I promise that you won't be disappointed. ♫
