BabyQ...a non-traditional baby shower!

Most of my high school and college friends are parents. I have had the pleasure of celebrating this milestone with them. In fact, today is my best friend Danielle's first day back to work from maternity leave. I am going to back track a couple of months to show you her baby shower.


Danielle and her husband live in Wisconsin. So, when they are home get-togethers are a big deal. The same rule applied for the baby shower. The idea for a couple's baby shower came up. Now, some may argue that men really do not add to the party. However, it was important to Danielle and her large family to see each other.
