I actually helped my mother with this shower a few months back, I completely forgot about it until I saw the draft I had written back in May. It was a nice surprise, especially since I was lacking content today. My mother was actually the brains behind this shower, we usually recruit each other to help out when we have a party to plan, we make a great team.
