Spring has sprung and your mom-to-be friend is ready to pop. You’re the BFF in charge of the shower and the soon-to-be mommy is all about a seasonal theme. Between the fresh florals, the fluttering butterflies, and a rainbow of pastels, you have the whole spring thing covered. But before going with a pink or blue cake or dozens of diaper-designed cupcakes, check out these fresh, spring-themed treats.
Spring Flower Lollipops
Who says that baby shower desserts have to fall under the cake or cupcake categories? These lollis scream spring and are totally different than anything your guests will expect. They taste sweet and floral (think lavender and hibiscus) and even have an edible flower inside. (via Sprinkle Bakes)
Two Melon Mousse
Bring the spring-time freshness in with this pastel dessert that uses honeydew and watermelon. Mousse is easy to serve and goes a step above the traditional shower fare. (via Raspberri Cupcakes)
Strawberry-Pistachio Semifreddo
Again, go with a pastel theme as you tackle the spring baby shower dessert menu. This pick is light, refreshing, and totally tasty. (via Brown Eyed Baker)
Butterfly Palmiers
These puff pastry cookies are the perfect shape for a spring shower. The adorable butterfly shape is super-sweet — literally. (via Baking Bites)
Lemon Blueberry Cake
This cake isn’t your regular ol’ baby shower cake, but it certainly fits the spring theme. It’s fresh, floral, and a dessert that the guest of honor will totally enjoy. (via Liv for Cake)
Almond Rhubarb Picnic Bars
A picnic says spring, and so do these bars. They’re perfectly pretty (using colorful rhubarb) and easy for the guests to pick up and carry around the party. In other words, no knife and fork needed! (via Smitten Kitchen)
Honey Lemon Curd
Forget about blue or pink. This yellow (read as gender neutral) lemon dessert will leave your guests guessing whether the mama-to-be is having a Jack or a Jill. It’s tart, tangy, and still somewhat sweet too. (via Cookie + Kate)
Rainbow Macarons
Spring showers bring… well, they bring rainbows. These colorful cookies have an icing rainbow, are completely cute, and super special. (via Aww Sam)
Sprinkle Ice Cream Pie
This amazingly awesome dessert comes with a rice cereal crust, is filled with ice cream, and has sprinkles on top. Seriously. It’s pretty. It’s spring-y. And it’s got a special sort of whimsy that everyone will get a kick out of. (via Rachel Cooks)
Lime & Mint Popsicles
Depending on the weather, a spring shower can get hot, hot, hot. Cool things down with these refreshing frozen treats. (via A Beautiful Mess)
Your relationship with your finances is one of the most important relationships you'll ever have, and you can't avoid it. That said, for many of us, the pandemic only added to our financial stress. If you find yourself feeling frazzled, just remember that financial insecurity isn't a net-worth issue — it's a mindset issue. And, we happen to have plenty of advice on how to turn your money mindset around so you can take charge of your funds once and for all.
To start, feeling secure begins with a strong foundation, and there's no better time than now to get started stacking the bricks. It's easy to get swept up in the January "new year, new me" mentality, but really? Any time is the right time to get yourself in order. You don't need to wait for a new year, a new moon, the right moment, or a sign from above. You don't even have to start on the first day of the month — you just need to start.
Introducing NerdWallet: A Safe and Reliable Money App
To help with that, we've put together a list of the just-right-for-you ways that NerdWallet can help you monitor your financial outlook. Haven't heard of them yet? NerdWallet is a personal finance company that helps consumers make smarter financial decisions. Their website and app let you compare different financial products, find articles and tools to make financial decisions with confidence, and keep tabs on your finances (hey there, credit score, I see you!) all in one place. Plus, NerdWallet has over 75,000 glowing reviews in the App Store (and a 4.8 star rating) if you want to read up on any more testimonials.
Tim Chen, NerdWallet's CEO and co-founder, started this financial journey in 2009 after his sister needed help finding a credit card. Even with an economics degree and a Wall Street background, it took awhile for Tim to find the right recommendation (so don't feel too bad when it takes you a while, too). Their mission is to bring clarity to all of life's financial decisions.
So it's safe to say that NerdWallet is a pretty good sherpa for your journey, too.
Get the most from your money
Did you know that the money you park in a savings account can lose value? Harsh, but true. If your money isn't earning interest that's on pace with inflation it will actually be worth less to you in the future. And if the bank charges fees? Forget about it. Make sure you're earning the interest you deserve and come out on top. NerdWallet has researched dozens of financial institutions to help consumers find the best options. The hard work has already been done for you, so you can just select the account that works best for you and your nest egg.
Keep an eye on everything, securely
Once everything is set up, tracking and managing your finances is what will keep the money machine running smoothly. You can create an account either through the site or the app and link your bank accounts, then keep tabs on all your finances in one place. Get a clear picture of your saving and spending, get insights into how to master your money, and even build your credit score all in one place.
Get extra credit points
Do you have the best credit card for your lifestyle? Some cards give cash back on every purchase, ones with travel perks, and ones that charge way less interest than you're paying now. NerdWallet takes the guesswork out of choosing the right credit card with simple side-by-side comparisons of different credit cards so that you feel confident choosing the right one. Whatever you want to do, NerdWallet can help you find the best credit card to get it done.
Know your options for settling down
Mortgage rates are pretty low and it looks like they're going to stay that way for awhile, so buying a home might be the move sooner than you think. But there's so much more to a mortgage than just the interest rate! To help you choose a mortgage lender, NerdWallet has in-depth reviews on multiple lenders in a mixture of categories so you get the home loan with the mortgage rate, term, and fees that's right for you.
Settle an old score
NerdWallet helps you monitor your credit score for free and helps you see how little things (like raising the limit on your credit card or paying your bills on time) can increase your score. NerdWallet partners with TransUnion® to provide your VantageScore® 3.0, based on information in your TransUnion® credit report. Your score and credit report information are updated weekly. But that's not even close to all:
- They provide you with tips from experts on how you could build or optimize your credit score
- You'll get a detailed look at your credit score and all the factors that go into it—your payment history, credit utilization, the age and type of accounts, balances, and any recent inquiries
- The credit simulator tool gives you an idea of how your credit score would change if you applied for a new credit card, closed your oldest credit card, or got a new auto loan
- You also get free, unlimited access to your credit report
When it comes to managing your money, safe and reliable is where it's at. Establishing a healthy relationship with your finances begins when you take control and practice habits that build wealth. Signing up just takes a few minutes. Set your intentions to build a solid financial foundation, it will only strengthen your relationship with your finances. And don't be afraid to get a little nerdy while you're at it.
