It must be the season for babies!!!
You will remember that Jenn recently had her baby shower, Heather is making diaper cakes, and I recently had a birdie baby shower design…well there is one more we have been meaning to tell you about!
A beautiful friend of mine is going to have her little girl very soon! We are counting the days! She is full of love, beauty and STYLE, so in August we gave her a baby shower with scarves, sunglasses and her favorite, amazing mexican food.
For now we are calling the baby… Baby O – so it was only natural to go with a Jackie O theme! I love the Jackie O sunglasses and had to use them in the invitation (*note all addresses, names and numbers have been changed)
Baby O’s nursery will be pink and purple, so we use that in the theme as well with a chevron patter to finish off the look! Here are templates for water bottles and table cards. (You can email me if you would like the actual file.
We can’t wait to meet you Baby O! Here are a few more pictures from the day!
Our very on Jenn with the mama to be… aren’t they beautiful?

In case you didn’t know……JENN’S HAVING A BABY!!!! No need for alarm. She isn’t going into labor now. Well, at least I don’t think so – I haven’t talked to her today 🙂 She isn’t due for a few weeks.
We celebrated her baby shower this weekend! Isn’t she just the cutest pregnant lady you have ever seen! (And pardon our height difference….HA!)
This baby shower reminded me that I need to share my love of DIY Diaper Cakes here on our blog. I have tons of friends with little ones and have made many o’ diaper cakes in the past few years. They make an awesome baby shower gift, and are super easy to make! Here are some instructions for you…
DIY DIAPER CAKES
What you will need:
- A new pizza pan for the base – you can get these at Walmart for $5
- A new baby bottle – for the center of the cake
- A bunch of diapers – size 1 or 2 work best
- Ribbon – the wired ribbon works nice for tying bows
- A cake topper – rubber ducky or small stuffed animal
It takes a little bit to figure out how to layer the diapers around the bottle. An extra set of hands helps, so that one can hold the diapers while the other one ties the ribbon to hold them in place. Once you get the hang of it, you can put it all together in about 5 minutes.
Here are some of my diaper cake creations!
Know someone having a baby ? Be sure to share with them Jenn’s “Labor and Delivery Call Logs” and “Registry Essentials” – both are FREE to download and super helpful for expecting mommies!
And while Jenn is on maternity leave, we are welcoming back a certain someone to guest blog for a while here on Sunny Slide Up! Stay tuned…… 🙂

Last week I mentioned that I was going to be providing various downloads for the expecting mother. This week I have provided you an editable download for your registry essentials. These are just some of the basics that you will (more than likely) need, but feel free to edit this list according to your lifestyle. I have also included a few of my favorite brands under “suggestions”. This could easily be changed if you would like to list two options for each category instead.
You can download this editable version HERE.
