My dear friend and business partner, Wallis, is showering my family with a brunch next weekend to celebrate the pending arrival of our second daughter. This incredibly generous offer reminds me that moms-to-be these days need to buck tradition! Sure, this is my second baby and generally it isn't convention to throw me another shower. However, aren't all children meant to be celebrated?!
I started thinking about all of the new traditions and ideas that are available to moms. Instead of registering at department stores, think about setting up an account to have family and friends contribute to your child's college fund. There are several websites out there that can get you started. Having a girl? Why can't you paint the nursery blue or another gender-bending color? The nursery should reflect your personal style. Not a fan of toting around large totes? Instead of a diaper bag, think about buying a small clutch that holds only diapers and wipes. You will have the essentials for a quick trip to the store or when you take a walk down the lake front. 1154 Lill carries a "Jack" design that can be customized with the fabric of your choice!
Good luck keeping cool in this early summer heat wave!
