Baby Showers
Celebrate Baby! | Little Golden Books Baby Shower
A baby shower held in honor of you and your anticipated little one, is one of the exciting moments of pregnancy. A chance to come together with close friends and family to celebrate the new life that will join this great big world. Having a specific theme is the best way to pull together a fun event for everyone to enjoy.
One that I’ve noticed growing in popularity is a Little Golden Books theme. The classic books were first introduced in 1942 and are making a huge come back lately. Moms and party planners have been searching thrift stores and their own personal stash from their childhood, looking for inspiration and props for the theme. Vanessa of Tried and True hosted an incredible Little Golden Books themed baby shower filled with DIY details. She shares all her tutorials and printables on her site.

Surprise: I Got Showered with Love this Weekend!
I’ve got to hand it to my husband Larry and my good friend Claire… because they really got me good!

Work At Home Creative Mama Feature: Best Custom Baby Books Ever!
As a work at home creative, I have the immense fortune of meeting others who inspire and W.O.W. me on a daily basis. I’m just going to go ahead and admit that I’m extra impressed whenever I come across a mover and shaker who is rocking an entrepreneurial venture whilst taking care of babies and toddlers.
Much like the quirky, creative genius; Sandra Dumais – mama and owner of Moon and Sparrow. It is difficult enough to run a small business successfully if you decide on doing something ‘sensible’, like accounting (deep shudder), or provide other sort of other ‘realistic’, every day product or service that people really need. But creating your own brand AND product? Successfully? That kind of stuff makes my brain and heart sing. Especially when it involves incorporating handmade art in the everyday. We all need more of that. More, more, more.
Recently Sandy launched these incredible Baby’s 1st Year Books, available in English or French and as customizable as you so choose. You can learn more about the unique customization process here, and view the entire book in English here! Enjoy my little preview below…
