Lullaby, rockabye, you sang me to sleep

And crept out of my room without making a peep

Lullaby rockabye you held me so close

When I scraped up my knee or bumped my nose

Lullaby, rockabye, you held my hand

And carried me on when I couldn’t stand

Lullaby, rockabye you wiped my tears

And helped me get over my biggest fears

Thank you for teaching me in all that you do

When I grow up I want to be just like you

And throw a party featuring this chick for a change.

My daughter Ana is having a baby in a month and all of her sisters threw her a very cute baby shower. 

Of course I still had to get in on the action and the shower was at my house. 
I told my daughter Megan that I wanted her to create a diaper carriage.  
Our theme was baby girls. 
 Diaper cakes are very popular right now and  I wanted something a little bit different. 
Megan is amazing and made this adorable diaper baby carriage out of disposable diapers, 
receiving blankets, bottles and baby wash cloth.  
All usable items for the new mother-to-be.
Megan made huge snicker-doodle cookies for a party favor take home and we housed 
them in the carriage. It was a fun centerpiece, gift and handout.
The instructions on making this 
diaper baby carriage is free and you can download it HERE.

This is a really simple idea that I got from a good friend.  

Wrap a Pringles can with the printable wrapper included in this packet,

attach the printable gift tag and surprise your dad by putting in a place that he will

see first thing Sunday morning.  

Option:  Dad might not like Pringles, so why not empty the can of Pringles and make his

favorite cookies or treats and place them in the can. Dad won't even know

that it was originally a Pringles can.  Note:  Be sure to use the original flavor only.  

Spiced Pringles don't mix very well with cookies or treats.  

 A very inexpensive and fun little gift to give.
