Utah Baby Shower

If you need baby shower inspiration, keep scrolling. We're not just saying it, for real. Do it. We were honored to be apart of Lindsay of Harvest Moon Event's baby shower. Not only did Kasey of Harvest Moon Events plan the entire baby shower, but she hired us as a surprise gift for Lindsay. 

Everything at this baby shower was cute enough for a baby and classy enough for a grown group of women. The adorableness of this shower almost ALMOST made us want to have a baby of our own. Yes, Kasey is THAT good at events. Don't worry though, after the twinkle lights and delicious pink punch left our memories, we regained our DINK status. 

To brag a bit about Kasey, she is a young, beautiful woman entrepreneur in Park City, Utah. We felt included in the baby shower instead of the hidden photographer crouched in the corner wearing camouflage. Lindsay, the one that is pregnant in the pictures, she is equally as amazing and not to mention is a BEAST. Lindsay was still working and lifting heavy wedding coordinator things the day before her Park City baby shower. Who are these women? We feel a bit of superhero powers just from association.  

Let's discuss beverages for a second. This punch champagne concoction was AMAZING, so much so, we tried to blend random juices and whipping cream from our fridge the next day to replicate it. Scouring through your fridge + being too lazy to go to the store= a weird not even close version of the punch in the pictures. So don't be lazy like us, GO TO THE STORE, and maybe ask Kasey for the recipe because our recipe will create a gross punch you won't want to serve to anyone. 

Soak in the pink punch, mini burgers, tender meat, pallet table and ridiculously adorable tipi-pillow-covered-tree nest. Now that you've had your baby shower inspiration, you can continue your weekend smiling and thinking of how Monday is super far away from today. 

Exploring the Home Town

Recognize this city? 

We love when friends visit, because it gives us an excuse to explore your city again. We discovered a new cider place here in SLC, admired the city library and ate gelato that was hand crafted by angels.

Our first stop was the Salt Lake library. It's one of those ridiculous landmarks you have to show every person who comes into town. We feel like most people are underwhelmed at libraries and envision late night cram sessions and The Silent Generation scanning through encyclopedias. These people may be right some of the time, but this library is so much more. Incredible architecture with glass walls, cute gift shops, coffee, thousands of books, and a rooftop deck. Yes, a rooftop deck! You can read a book outside and gaze at the mountains while sitting 6 floors above the city. So if you haven't gone to the library, please just go, as soon as you can. 

We're not sure about you but views make us hungry, so we stopped by Settebello's Capo Gelateria. Now when we say hand crafted by angels, we mean it. We've had gelato in the streets of Florence and Rome and this is by far the closest we have ever gotten to the real thing. This gelato may even compare, but come on, It's Italy. Trying two new flavors, lemon basil and sweet cream, we still couldn't resist ordering our usual, hazelnut and pistachio. We haven't been able to substitute a new flavor yet, because we can't imagine pistachio or hazelnut not gracing our cup. Now we are a big gelato/ice cream/frozen yogurt fan and the first time we saw these cups we thought, yea right, how can those tiny cups satisfy us? There is NO WAY. Well, keep in mind gelato is much creamier than most, and those tiny cups surprisingly do satisfy. 

Personally, frozen sugary sweetness and alcohol are a pretty solid mix. Someone had told us about a new cider place in SLC, so we drove forth to North Salt Lake. Mountain West Cider is four months old. We couldn't believe Salt Lake had cider now. We've tried to like beer, we really have, but cider has just always tasted better to us. This new cider is also made without any added sugars so it tastes like a smoother, natural cider with a fizzle of champagne bubbles. If your friend or spouse likes beer like ours, the Red Rock brewery is right next door, so everyone is happy. Beer and cider should come together more often. If this has also been a dream of yours, Red Rock Brewing and Mountain West Cider are coming together for a party today from 11-4 at 425 400 W, Salt Lake City, UT. 

So go explore your city once more because you might find something you missed.
