I went to my first baby shower on the weekend – the first pregnancy among my contemporaries, really, and a slightly alarming reminder of passing years. The afternoon’s refreshments – pavlova (well, it wouldn’t be an Australian celebration without a pav) and super cute pink and blue cupcakes. I am thinking that I want to have a childhood-style party for my next birthday, just so I can have cupcakes and play Pin the Tail on the Donkey (although for this party it was Pin the Dummy on the Baby).
