ReplyDeleteBlueberries For Sal was one of my FAVORITES when I was little. I saved the book and I read it to my 3 year old now =)

ReplyDeleteSuper cute theme and lots of fun details. Anyway, my friend will be having a baby shower next month and I really need to find baby gifts for her. And also, we are planning to give her a surprise baby shower party. I would love to get some ideas in this shower. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I did a baby shower for my sister 8 years ago that was this same theme. I asked each guest to give their favorite title to the expectant momma, to build the baby's library! It was great!
