My eyes are a little misty Right? Same. 23 hours ago, TechWife said: The shower was this afternoon and it was lovely. I haven’t been to a baby shower in years. The “guest book” was a copy of Miss Rumphius” & each of us wrote a note on a different page. I learned that our mom-to-be loved that book as a child and carried it around with her. One of her sisters remembered and came up with the guest book idea. I highly recommend Honey for a Child’s Heart. I loved every minute I spent re-reading it this past week. I had forgotten how much it informed our family reading life. I thought I’d let you all know what I settled on after you offered so many wonderful ideas. I put everything in a rope basket from Target and lined it with three pretty burp cloths that matched the colors she chose for the baby’s room. Here’s the list: Honey for a Child’s Heart by Gladys Hunt with Mark Hunt Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb - by Al Perkins Kitten’s First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes Tomie’s Little Mother Goose by Tomie dePaola Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni 1 is One - by Tasha Tudor Oh, that sounds like a lovely shower and a beautiful gift! The guest book idea is so sweet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
