Baby Shower for 17 soldiers wifes


Olive Kids donated a Country Baby Cribs Set and the mother (Brandy Elliott) who received the set was contacted by Olive Kids to complete the room she chose to receive wall paper cuts outs, a personalized frame print and clock for her daughter Kristina's room. She is moving in July and is excited to decorate her daughter’s room with the country baby theme and promises to send pictures once completed. Here is an overview of this exciting shower from Cleverparents.com

Family and friends of new and expectant military moms from the 32nd Military Logistics Battalion gathered together today in Fort Bragg, North Carolina to see seventeen women showered with gifts sent by people and individuals from across the nation. Clever Parents hosted the event with our very good friend Lena Morrissey of Lena’s Notebook, to recognize expectant and new moms, eleven of whose spouses are deployed and six of whom are active duty soldiers.

Awe and excitement describes the festivities and the moms’ reactions. April, mom to a six week old baby, expressed her heartfelt gratitude and surprise upon seeing the extent of the outpouring of support. “I was really shocked to see that so many people came to support us - People that we don’t even know,” says one new mom whose husband is deployed and who herself is also an active duty soldier. “It’s just really good to feel supported.”
