Fun Flower Ideas for a New Mom
SPOTTED NEW MOM: Liz from Mom-101. Funny Mom, Liz, is a busy working mom who blogs about her two daughters and her husband, the stay-at-home Dad. Liz shares stories about her life and adventures in parenting. She jokes that her and her husband have no idea what they are doing, but by the looks of things they seem to be doing just fine. Take a look her Mom-101 and tell me what you think!
For all those Moms (and even Dads) who may want a good laugh, here is a fun Mother’s Day gift or even baby shower décor.
When I was planning the flowers for Erin’s baby shower I found a really funny book called “Safe Baby Handling Tips” by Kelly & David Sopp. Each page is like a graphic international do and don’t sign for the correct way to feed, lift, calm, etc. a new baby. I used the different pages and ribbons to decorate glass vases that I filled with gerbera daisies. The daisies are innocent and fun and everyone got a kick out of the silly signs. We can’t always take ourselves too seriously now can we!?!
