3 Alternative Baby Shower Ideas During COVID

It’s needless to say that this pandemic has changed everything. Ever since COVID the world has been turned upside down. For many soon-to-be moms, this means we feel left out in some common pregnancy events. From missing out spouses unable to be in appointment rooms to having an influx of visitors at the hospital on the day of delivery. Even baby showers during COVID were more rare towards the beginning of the pandemic.

Hey there, its Brittney!

Portrait of the blog writer, Brittney Housley.

Hello and welcome!
My name is Brittney and I am just an average mom. I have a 7-year-old son and am pregnant with a baby girl!
My amazing husband and I work full time and manage our lifestyles, just like you.
While I am no expert, I am sharing what has worked for my family in hopes that it may practically and realistically work for your family.

So here we are at 25 weeks...and it has been hard! So here we are at 25 weeks...and it has been hard!!! This pregnancy is nowhere like my first. My first pregnancy was so easy!!! 
.
I was eating all the time, and even though I gained a lot of weight, I felt good. I was a waitress, I was moving a lot and had a lot of energy. 
.
This one...oh man. I had morning sickness from the beginning. I have been so exhausted I have taken naps in the car pick up line at school. I haven’t wanted to eat anything even still! I can’t sleep. My back hurts to where I where I can’t walk at moments. I hurt everywhere and it’s just miserable sometimes. 
.
On top of that I have an existing child and household to take care of with this one. Two dogs and my grandmother lives with us.  We have seen financial struggle due to COVID. The work never seems to end. 
.
Yet despite all that, I can’t help but be grateful and excited. I find myself sitting on the floor in her nursery, imagining what she will be like. So far I am perfectly healthy with absolutely zero complications. That’s 2 pregnancies in a row, no miscarriages, and nothing wrong. I don’t say that to brag. But to keep myself in check. I need to be (and am) so thankful. 
.
This pregnancy has been hard but there are so many blessings and I am forever grateful for every moment of them. Thank you God for everything and I hope I can help some other people somehow. 
.
My goal for this year is to give more. And so with this post, I hope to give hope and calmness to whoever may need it. Whether it’s pregnancy or something else that seems tiring and you feel so down. Just remember all of the blessings and all the opportunities you have ❤️ happy Friday everyone.

Getting baby shower ready! These little treats wil Getting baby shower ready! These little treats will be part of our baby shower gift set we are mailing out to our virtual guests. These custom @mmschocolate were a super inexpensive way to add a custom touch to our gift set. 
.
This is NOT a paid post. I am just so excited. Since we are losing the in person experience and we have family literally from coast to coast (while we are based in the middle), we are trying so hard to make a fun shower experience.

Honestly, this is the most clutter free I think my Honestly, this is the most clutter free I think my counters have been since moving into our new home. There are clean dishes drying on the mat. Otherwise...just our normal counter items. This is SO exciting for me! I struggle really bad with clutter. We are such a drop and go family. It’s not dirty. But a sock here, papers there, toys around, etc. It’s hard!!
.
.
.
We have a terrible time with clutter. We really do. Somehow we throw away a paper and get 5 more. We put away a toy and 10 more are downstairs. Random assortments of items just sporadically spread out around the house. 
.
.
We are NOT a Pinterest perfect home while I would strive for that, it can be more of a headache and be more stressful to aspire to those things. Finding solutions that work for YOUR home are more important. Not making it look like someone else’s. 
.

Take a look at my post “30 days to Declutter Your Home” where I show you how to create decluttering solutions for your home and get rid of junk! Bringing your mind more peace and bringing yourself to a more centered state.

Special Christmas morning breakfast with my loving Special Christmas morning breakfast with my loving family. I got to try our new mini waffle maker. It’s so easy and I totally love it!!! I would take a photo of all the presents and our family fun, but 1) I don’t want to make anyone feel bad with gift comparisons and 2) my living room is a disaster of wrapping paper, tissue paper stockings, and sporadic gifts 😂
