Kelle Hampton book club party

I first stumbled across Kelle Hampton’s blog a year and a half ago.  I read Nella’s story and I cried harder than I had cried in a long time. It changed me. I thought I was the only person in Abbotsford who knew of her, until I discovered many friends I knew were also on the Enjoying the small things band wagon as well.  During my “pumping days”  her blog kept me company.  I started from the beginning at her first blog entry, and it was like reading a good novel, that never has a ending, quite frankly to me, that’s the best kind of book 😉
Her blog has changed the way I parent, how I live my life and continues to inspire me  every:  Monday, Wednesday and Friday 😉
My friend Kacey even made up WWKHD? ( what would Kelle Hampton do? )  And a lot of days I do think – what would she do??

She announced her book was being released and with that came incentives. Buy 10 copies and get a 30 minute skype session. Sign me up for that!!! I immediately messaged my fellow Kelle Hampton lovers and the process began. I still can’t believe we managed to organize 11 women’s schedules around work, school, kids,  C-section date and nursing babies – but we did!!!!

And since Kelle always plans the most amazing parties, I knew we had to do it up right, because really, WWKHD?!
So I channeled  my inner party planner, read Tori Spelling’s new book
And we had ourselves a wonderful night!

Party ideas from Nella’s first birthday
 Most of all my party decor is from my good friend Cindy 

Take home for the ladies  a fresh Peony from my good friend Adrienne‘s local business

Beautiful baby London! So excited I got to meet this lil darling finally, she was a angel the entire night 🙂

Waiting……..

Everyone brought a dish, Nicole was forced to bring her famous Jamie oliver appy, and all diets were off for the night.

And then – She was there!!!!!!!!!

We had a really good time…….

Asking questions.. Dang my family and friends are beautiful!! 

Is this real life!?????
We got to meet Nella and Lainey, I almost cried.
