My friend Molly and sister hosted my West Coast shower last weekend leaving me feeling spoiled and so full of love. The weather was warm and the laid-back poolside vibe in Marin made for the perfect day. I recieved tons of great pointers from the cute “advice for the new mommy” cards they had guests fill out and I thought I’d share these two:

• “The baby can fit into your life, or you can fit into your baby’s life– I would suggest the baby fits into yours!”
• “Sleep whenever you can! Take one night escapes whenever possible. Be kind to yourself, kids won’t always remember.”
