Showers of Fun for Little Plum

A phenomenal group of my dear friend organized a shower to welcome little plum and to spoil us both with an abundance of gifts, decorations that were a feast for the eyes, live music, and the most scrumptious food. I am in awe and amazement at the incredible efforts they went to in order to make this the most magical afternoon I could have imagined.
Every detail was taken care of... the flowers were all chosen to have a hue of purple, the food was prepared with love and all vegetarian, all the guests were asked to wear their favourite shade of 'plum' (i missed that memo), the cake was divine, there were even tokens of gratitude prepared with my favourite Gandhi quote. 
My friend (and masseuse) Katherine came to give all the guests the gift of massage... not everyone got a chance to participate, but the smells along with her energy added a sense of calm & relaxing vibes to the entire afternoon.
As I looked around at everyone 'wearing plum', I was amazed at how many people are here ready to welcome Little Plum with open arms... and to support me and our family on each step of this new adventure. I feel blessed beyond belief and find myself short on words to truly express my gratitude.


Lotus flowers with purple hue... representing so much with their beauty and strength.
So fitting for a baby shower for Little Plum.

The punch (& sangria) glasses filled with frozen berries... a special treat here in Colombia where berries are hard to find!!

Seriously... the attention to detail... a bowl filled with plums!!

Happiness is good food, great friends and time to celebrate together!!
