You have selected your toddler’s first bike. It is a sweet sassy little number complete with racing stripes and a bell. It is only 18 inches off of the ground. After the frenzied research and purchase is complete don’t be tempted to think your job is done. Dreams of Christmas morning watching your child run to the toddler bike are incomplete unless your toddler is properly equipped with a helmet and other safety gear.

Planning a baby shower can and should be one of the most exciting and enjoyable moments of a mommy-to-be’s life. From personalizing the perfect invitations to choosing the right location for the shower, hosting a baby shower should be fun and entertaining. When planning a baby shower, it is important to keep in mind that the event should be both memorable and unforgettable for the expectant mother; she should enjoy every second of the planning process, as well as the event. Opening the newborn baby gifts is always the highlight of the shower and the other festivities are just as fun.

Depending on where you decide to host your baby shower, food might be up to the restaurant to decide, or up to the host to prepare or order. If you decide to have the baby shower at a banquet hall or at somebody’s house, you will have more of a say in what will be served to eat and drink.
