#TBT My Baby Shower Gray & Aqua Chevron and Elephants

In honor of #TBT i though I would share some pictures from my amazing baby shower back on january. I had no specific theme in mind, I just knew that i wanted it to be in a restaurant that way neither of my parents would have to worry about the mess or about cooking (Honestly best decision made!!). The colors and decorations were all gray and Aqua and I used an elephant image to tie it all together. The venue was la carreta restaurant
 As the guest walked in this is the first they would see, and i attached grey, blue and clear polka dot gallons to the frame stand (made by my amazing father)
 The cake was vanilla and chocolate with vanilla custard filling, just delish. The Vicky Bakkery at Hialeah Gardens was the one that made it, and i was very pleased with the result, especially since it was only 125 dollars!! The elephant cake topper I purchased at etsy and the little flags at oriental trading.

 I asked the restaurant to set up two long family style tables that way friends and family could talk, I did not want anyone to feel bored.
 Frames made by my father, again have i mentioned how crafty and amazing he is. For the favors I did a "yemita" a cuban sweet in the small gray box and on the bigger box  a mini candle from bath and body works I used the flannel and lavender vanilla scents.
 This was the favor/signing table/game hub.
The guestbook, using chalk ink, safe for the kiddos and i had some wet wipes ready to go.
 The banner with both baby shower and oliver's name i made it with some scraps of fabric i had left over from one of his nursery projects.
My dress was from NY&Co from the Eva Mendez collection and I got it for a steal!!


We had an amazing time and were blessed with the company of great friends and family as well as with many gifts with little Oliver!

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary

Anniversary Celebration Grand Turk (Scooter Ride, Margaritaville, Governor's Beach, The Lighhouse) Bamanas, Nassau- Atlantis Resort So forgetting the fact that it took me the longest to post somenthing again, Here are some pictures from our little Anniversary getaway. The cruise was the perfect break we needed to celebrate each other, and the commitment we made. Some of the ports were a bit more fun than others, however I would blame the weather, since in bahamas was 70 degrees the getting in the atlantis waterpark was adventure per say (risking hypothermia and all, lol ). Overall my favorite port was Turks and Caicos, because we got to rent a scooter and sightsee on our own, the beach was to die for and of course enjoy a very sunny day.

Making Lemonade out of Bucketfulls of Lemons

Well this pas weekend I was supposed to have flown to Texas to visit my sister, but I dinnt make it. I should have seen it coming...first I went to sleep pretty late, then I had the alarm on my husbands nightstand ( big mistake, as he likes to snooze). Short Story we missed our flight, the next flight available left the next day (we didnt want to flight to just spend one day over there) so we decided to go up to Orlando and Tampa to spend the weekend away from home. Taking in to consideration that it was a last minute plan, it was a pleasant getaway. In Tampa we went to Ybor City and spent the afternoon at the historic downtown, then we went to this awesome brewery called Cigar City Brewery. We were going to stay and go the next day to Bush Gardens but changed our mind, and went to Islands of Adventure (Orlando) I had been dying to see the Harry Potter portion of the park- was not disapointed. This coming weekend is my 24 bday I think it's going to be a good one, pretty excited ab...
