Making Memories: Baby in Bloom Baby Shower Pics and Life Update w/Recipe Links

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

Wow! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family.

We had a ton of people show up for the baby shower to surround my daughter and son-in-law with love… it was AMAZING!!! I didn’t get as many pictures as I’d liked to have, some of them have been misplaced or accidentally deleted, and I won’t be sharing some that I did get because I didn’t get permission to post them from other people but we will share what we can and hope that it can inspire you.

God Bless!

This is a question that I get asked pretty often and I even ask myself this from time to time. There isn’t any one size fits all answer to this but basically, I blog because I like to share with people. I started blogging because others encouraged me to share some of what our family was going through at the time. We had a lot going on as we had more than doubled our family in less than 3 years and we had begun homeschooling.
