reader question of the week

question of the week:

"I was hoping to get some advice and suggestions for a Rock Star themed baby shower. Both parents love music- my daughter-in-law used to sing in a high school music group and my son used to play heavy metal rock in a band as well. Their baby boy is due May 29 and his room is also decorated in a Rock Star theme. Do you have any suggestions for the shower and invitation? How should I word the invite? Thank you for your help! -Susan"

I don't know if I can handle all of the brilliant kiddie parties this week! This FANTASTIC one came via Brooke (thank you!), and I am eating up every little detail. The very talented (illustrator) Merrilee put together this fantastic shindig for her son's 3rd birthday. I want to get on her party mailing list ASAP! For more pictures and details see here and here.
