How to organize a baby shower party for a future mother?

A baby shower literally "rain of presents" for a baby. In the USA, England or Australia, a baby shower party is very popular, in Poland it is also more and more popular. Gentlemen have their "pępkowe” party, and for moms is other party, in Poland sometimes called "bociankowe" party.

Baby on board !

When I shared the news about my pregnancy on my Instagram account, I received a lot of messages from girls who, like me, are waiting for giving a birth or are trying for a baby or have recently become mums. Kiedy podzieliłam się na moim Instagramie wiadomością o ciąży, otrzymałam naprawdę wiele wiadomości od dziewczyn, które podobnie jak ja - oczekują na narodziny dziecka lub starają się o maleństwo, albo niedawno zostały mamami. After my first post with a baby bump, which I published on my blog, several readers wrote e-mails to me, which was a nice surprise for me, because not everyone who reads my blog, share their thoughts with public, in comments. Such a good response convinced me that...
