How many of us forget sunscreen or bug spray when we go out for a picnic or an outdoor party? Even with my recent skin cancer diagnosis and surgery I’ve somehow been caught unprepared more than one occasion. Because I love to entertain, and the outdoors are such a nice backdrop for a party, I’ve started making sure my guests don’t have to be eaten alive or burned to enjoy a party with my sunscreen and bug spray reminder station.

This bright pregnancy announcement is welcoming the new addition to the party! // A Well Crafted Party

A few months ago we got the news that we are adding one more to our little party. The new addition has RSVPd for November 10, 2015 and we can’t wait to welcome him or her to our family!

If you know me, you know I like to celebrate the tiniest of moments. Sharing the news that we are having our second child feels like just the right type of thing to celebrate! I’ve struggled with the fact that the second pregnancy doesn’t feel as special to me as the first one did. I’m just as happy about it, just as excited for baby number two, but if feels a little less celebrated none-the-less. It became important to me to make sure I took a little time to celebrate the news of this baby. Of course, we are saving our pennies for the second baby (we know how expensive these things are now!), so didn’t want to do anything over-the-top, but still wanted to celebrate the new addition.

I partnered with Kohl’s to help me celebrate baby number two. Kohl’s is currently striving to be top of mind for families as they celebrate the special moments in life, big or small, together. Their current goal to help be present in the everyday and the extra special moments in life made me very excited to see how they could help me celebrate my second baby. I already love Kohl’s and shop there often. The deals that they offer are hard to beat, and I can find something for the entire family in one shopping trip.

We're welcoming baby number two with a small celebration welcoming him or her to our family. // A Well Crafted Party We aren't sure if he is more excited about getting to eat the cupcake or becoming a big brother! Our family is excited to welcome baby number two to this crazy party that is our life! Our family is excited to welcome baby number two to this crazy party that is our life! I've had all the typical pregnancy cravings including peanut butter and pickles! A welcoming celebration for baby isn't complete without them!

Kohl’s helped us celebrate in a variety of different ways! I knew I’d be able to find the men in the family some clothes for the party, but what I didn’t know is that they also carried baby items, housewares AND maternity wear! The items we found at Kohl’s included:

  • Ninja Blender which is not only good for a daily smoothie packed full of nutritious items that are good for the growing baby, but will come in handy after the baby is here and I’m making his or her food. (Stay tuned for a fun non-alcoholic dessert smoothie coming to the blog this week!)
  • Food Network’s Three Tiered Party Platter…awesome for all the obvious reasons.
  • Evenflo Convertible Highchair – We gave away nearly all of our baby items from when my son was a baby. Finding an affordable high chair on Kohls.com that would grow with the baby made my day. This highchair comes apart and becomes a small chair and table that is perfect for a toddler!
  • Just Born Security Blankets – these are my favorite blankets to swaddle the little one with after delivery. I was thrilled that Kohl’s had them in the grey and yellow print.
  • Small cuddle toy with blanket
  • Maternity Dress
  • Toddler Shirt
  • Men’s Shirt

The best part is that I was able to get all of the above items with a savings of nearly 50% off if I had gotten them all at full price. It made our money go further, which is more important than ever right now!

These free printables are perfect for your own welcome baby celebration! // A Well Crafted Party
