A Spoonful of Sugar
One thing that impressed me about all these pregnancy announcements is the letter boards. Instead of writing their message on a piece of paper, or even printing it out from their computer, they all use changeable letter boards. Is that really something every household owns nowadays? I really gotta get myself one of those!
As for this specific announcement – I’ve seen quite a few of these: you plop your existing baby/toddler on the kitchen counter, put an eggbeater or a wooden spoon in its cute little hand and write the recipe for a baby on the letter board, that is just casually resting on the counter. 2 cups love, 3 cups hugs, 4 cups kisses… bake until the due date. You know the drill. The concept is a but old, but at least it’s tried and tested. And if the big sister/brother is cute enough – which it usually is – it works. I’m sure any grandma or auntie who sees this will be over the moon.
