Today’s post is extra special as it is a virtual baby shower for a blogger friend, Michelle from Vitamin Sunshine! I’ve teamed up with several other bloggers to put together this special celebration for Michelle. Special thanks to Robin from Simply Fresh Dinners for organizing this!
Michelle and I connected because for a while, we lived flip-flopped lives. I am from Malaysia and moved to Oregon; Michelle is from Oregon and moved to Malaysia! Of course, we have similarities as well – we love blogging (duh!), and our firstborn boys are August babies 🙂
HUGE congratulations to Michelle and her hubby Alex on the birth of their son, Xander! Oh my goodness, look at how adorable he is!
To celebrate Michelle, Alex and baby Xander, we are sharing some delicious recipes we put together, and we are also doing a GIVEAWAY! Yay!!
