I wanted to share a couple of the food/book combinations that we used at my niece's baby shower. I bought the baby a new bookshelf and we used books as the theme. We all had a great time and the new mom welcomed a great assortment of children's books to add to her bookshelf. My niece is super smart and I credit some of that to the fact that her mom started reading to her as an tiny infant. I remember Jill perched in her mom's cross-legged lap, staring intently at the pages of the books my sister-in-law read to her. I think before she could even hold her own bottle, she tried turning the pages of the books. My sister-in-law set a great example for me. My girls were born after Jill and I knew immediately I wanted to start off reading lots of books. My niece, herself, suggested that instead of cards at the shower, we all give her children's books (since they are about the same price these days!) but we also decided to decorate ...
This is how I do it AT HOME MY WAY!
