Last night my friend Sally and I threw a baby shower for one of the moms in our co-op. She just had her sixth baby about 3 weeks ago and she deserved a party. I am of the opinion that moms need a shower for every one of their babies, not just the first.

After all, a shower isn't all about getting stuff you need (although you can ALWAYS need diapers). It's about encouraging new moms, fussing over the new baby, oohing and ahhing all the cute little stuff and having fun food!
Since this is Cheryl's fifth boy, we decided a girly-mom theme might be more fun than pastel blues and toy trains.

chocolate treats
Our inspiration came from the baking class that one of the moms taught at Friday School this last session. They weren't as easy as they looked but we learned a lot that will make it easier next time. And there will be a next time. There were chocolate dipped strawberries, Oreos, marshmallows, mini-donuts, rice krispie treats, angel food cake, and chocolate cake. The best part was that everything was small so you could eat quite a few and not feel too full!
The shower was lots of fun! We had fun visiting, talking about babies, adoption, homeschooling and just stuff. Cheryl and Luke got lots of cute things, too.

What a fun shower! I think the chocolate bouquet looks especially yummy!
That is so sweet of you to do! I think showers are a way to reward a mother for all the hard work of the 9 months she endured and to wish her well for the many years she gets to enjoy the bundle God blessed her with (and the stretch marks, too...in my case)!!!
i want some of those chocolates...mmmm.
