A Mom Is Born: Let’s Celebrate!
You know Virginia Kerr, the anchor on Channel 4′s early news show, Awake? She’s having a baby boy in October. My Mommy Manual and KMOV are co-hosting A Mom Is Born: The Virtual Baby Shower Celebrating a Woman’s Journey into Motherhood. The shower is scheduled for Wednesday, August 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will benefit the March of Dimes Missouri Chapter.
The shower will be aired live on www.MomIsBorn.com. Plus peeps can participate in a live chat room during the online broadcast.
The focus of the shower is celebrating and honoring the transition of a woman to motherhood and how her friends and loved ones can support her during this exciting time. However, any mom will enjoy the event because the two-hour broadcast will feature great parenting tips and products.
Viewers (guests) will also learn how to personalize a Holding Hands bracelet. The bracelet is a symbol of the connectedness between all mothers and the strength moms can source from each other. It is an especially touching gift for an expecting mom to wear during her labor and delivery, as a reminder of the support she has from her closest women friends.
A limited number of Holding Hands bracelets will be sold during the event for guests to buy for a special mom or mom-to-be. A portion of the proceeds will go to the March of Dimes.
Top tips for new moms will also be shared, which are being collected in the week prior to the broadcast in exchange for an entry in the Mom is Born giveaway raffle. Raffle prizes have been generously donated by the shower sponsors.
