I found a cute announcement online that depicted a young girl holding her newborn baby brother. My friend is about to add a little boy to her family and older sister is certainly having difficulty adjusting. So if she was included in the birth announcement of her new brother wouldn’t it ease the sibling rivalry?

So I went to a baby shower the other day and all I can say is what a disappointment. There appeared to be a half hearted effort to decorate, create favors and plan games.

Every time I browse online for baby birth announcements I am met with a great array of baby photo albums and flip books. I started thinking why not combine the two?
