I had to attend a baby shower today, I really didn't want to go. I'm broke and I can't really afford a gift, but the Mother-to-be is a very young girl and I feel like she needed the support of people who she actually likes (and also like her) at her shower instead of a bunch of her mother's friends whispering about her and how old she is. Anyway, I stopped a few yard sales this morning pre-baby shower and I was surprised to find brand new baby books... cool one's too. How to be a posh mom, Going Green baby or something like that and a few more. I purchased three in total for $5... the mother-to-be loved my gift and spent most of the time at her shower flipping through the pages. This just goes to show you that you don't always have to spend a lot to get something great. Right in the midst of all the pink onesies, pink dresses, and pink everything else was my gift of books. It was a break from the same thing and it's something educational as well. I would have liked it too.

I saw that book How to Be A Posh Mom, and looked at the price sticker. They needed a How to Be A Posh Mom...On a Budget, lol. That was a good gesture because nobody wants to be uncomfortable at their own baby shower (been there with my mother in laws friends staring daggers into me, lol).
that was really nice of you : )
