I (Julie) organized a baby shower last night for our youth pastor's wife. They are a young couple and don't have a lot of money, so it was really fun to "bless her socks off" with lots of useful items for her baby layette. I enjoy planning fiestas to celebrate life stages. I believe it's really important to recognize rites of passages in one's journey. This was the program: We sang a few songs Our pastor's wife gave a meditation on motherhood I did a bunch of fun baby shower games: *Can't say the word "baby" during the evening, or someone will take your sticker. The person with most stickers at the end of the night wins! *List as many baby items that you can that start with the letters of the baby's name (or you can do the mom and dad's names). *Guess the mom's waist measurement by cutting yarn...the closest measurement wins! *I had 15 baby items on a tray and the women got to observe the items for 30 seconds, then had to recall...
A NEW BEGINNING. Starting over.
