After 4 years of hard labour….yes, that’s right, four years….we finally have a beautiful baby…….book???? That’s what we like to call our new bundle of joy, The Survival Guide for Rookie Moms. We worked so hard to get to where we are today and finally it’s here, our big launch, our grand opening, our new arrival, our….well, birth!
You might have seen us advertise the birth of our new book on Twitter, Facebook, TV, Radio and Newsprint (as seen on our “Media” page). What can we say, we are excited parents. So, what do excited parents do, they throw a party for everyone to come and see their new baby. Therefore, last Tuesday we threw a “hum-dinger” of a party to celebrate the birth of “The Survival Guide for Rookie Moms”.
The Party was held at Baby’s World in Coquitlam, British Columbia and we had about 165 people in attendance (give or take a few). We had new moms, moms-to-be, excited family members and of course media personalities to help us get the word out about our great accomplishment.
When attendee’s arrived they were greeted by friendly hostesses to guide them in the direction of a wide assortment of wine, gourmet cheeses and decadent deserts (thanks to the Original Cupcakes for that one) all the while listening to jazz and browsing the wonderful baby products in Baby’s World.
Attendees were also given an opportunity to purchase a raffle ticket for a 1 in 10 chance of winning any of the door prizes totaling $2,500. From the raffle proceeds and proceeds from the 50/50 draw, we raised $800 for donation to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
The evening was a complete success thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors and with a special thanks to Baby’s World for hosting the event for us. Please take 4 minutes to watch the below documentary of our special evening where we thank all of those who contributed to the baby shower for our book. Throughout the video we also asked some of our attendee’s “What they wished they had known about being a first time mom?” Take a look……
Lorraine and I are pleased to announce that this launch is only just the beginning for our baby. We will be continuously providing our readers with updated tips from the trenches, parenting advice for new moms, mommy related product reviews, special mommy giveaways, upcoming local events and much, much more. So, be sure to check back to our website and blog on a regular basis to see what fun stuff us crazy rookie moms are up to.
Take Care!
