Unique Baby Showers – Free Baby Shower Games, Food For a Baby Shower

Posted by on · 2 Comments

One of the most fun things to do when hosting a baby shower is trying to make it as unique and different as possible. Baby showers are intended to be fun and entertaining, versus the kinds of baby showers that turn out to be rather dull and boring and you can’t wait for the oh-so lame party to be over so you could leave.

One common way of making a baby shower fun for everyone in attendance, especially parties where many (if not most) people don’t know each other, is to include a couple/few baby shower games to break the ice.

As a grateful recovering alcoholic I have the blessing of seeing both sides of the disease of alcoholism. Many of “us” never have and never will, and it is for the alcoholic who still suffers that we A.A members have a moment of silence before the start of each meeting. We know what it’s like to have been there and humbly hope that everyone who suffers can share in our experience, strength, and hope that is only possible through recovery.

When I was caught in the grip of alcoholism there seemed to be no other way of dealing with life. Whether it was sadness, anger, or even celebration, alcohol was the medicine that magically made everything okay or even better.

Teaching Your Children about Home Safety
