This Elephant themed ‘Lil Squirt Baby Shower was orginally hosted by Ashley from Attention 2 Detail.
——
I have to say this is the first time I’ve heard this theme. Am I out of the loop on this one? Well..I just think it’s adorably clever! I love the idea of the elephant…and not just because I went to the zoo today and watched a baby elephant play in the water! I think there is just so much to do with this theme and Ashley did a wonderful job of showcasing it’s potential! Come on…could that cake be any cuter?
Enjoy this baby shower…..
I have been very busy these last few weeks with back to back events, but I am back with the next week or so off! The baby shower brunch that I put together took place on Saturday and turned out adorable! The mother-to-be loves elephants so I took that into consideration while planning this event. It turned out so cute and all the little details worked so well together! Take a look at the pics…you can find the invite that I sent out for this event here.
Diaper Cake
Mocktail Mimosa’s and Hibiscus drinks made with Squirt soda (to go along with the theme), Orange Juice, & Cranberry Juice.
The Create-A-Crepe bar where guests could add ingredients, in a crepe, to make either a breakfast, lunch, or dessert crepe.
The Cake
I titled the various sauces for the crepes “Squirtables” to carry out the theme of the shower.
Sunny-side up Oreo Pops that are in the above picture, tied with yellow curling ribbon.
Onesie & bib decorating station
Finished Onesies & bibs. The guests did such a great job!
Floral centerpiece that I made
Advice cards for the guests to fill out, along with an envelope for guests to print their address on for the mother-to-be to mail their thank you cards! I love the paperclips and the elephant pens toppers I put together!
But my favorite of all would have to be the guest favors! Such cute little elephant cupcake toppers! Adorable!
Overall it was a fabulous shower. And the mother-to-be loved every minute of it! Can’t wait to meet this little bundle of joy!
I went over this site and I conceive you have a lot of excellent information, saved to favorites (:.
Simply want to say your article is as surprising. The clarity in your post is simply great and i can assume you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your RSS feed to keep updated with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please continue the gratifying work.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
