Have you ever heard of a virtual baby shower? I had not, until this week. I have this crazy friend, Jen Reyneri who hosts a blog podcast radio show called Destination Inspiration. She and some of the other Ultimate Homeschool Radio Network show hosts got together and secretly planned this shower. Richele McFarlin created the lovely art they secretly passed around, and all the while I just thought I was just going to be the guest homeschool speaker on Jen's show.
The Shower
What a surprise! Different people called in and shared blessings and words of encouragement – even my parents and sister! And since we're in Mexico and it's hard (read that “expensive”) to mail gifts and packages to us, Jen had set up a link on her show page so that people could donate for us to upgrade our camera instead! So thoughtful and unique.
I must say I have never had or been to a shower quite like this one. I am still surprised and so thankful for the great kindness of our friends! And the neatest thing is that the recording of the podcast is something we can keep forever! Thank you Jen and Ultimate Radio Homeschool Network for blessing us and blessing our baby girl!
If you'd like to listen to the special podcast or see the other info Jen posted, you can find it here. Have you ever had an out-of-the-ordinary shower or surprise party? I'd love to hear about it!
