Friday Frivolity - Creative Pregnancy Announcements

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

Just wait until you see what we dug up for this week's theme...

At last week's party, we shared silly New Year's Resolution advice.

This week's topic might have thrown you for a loop, but it's all because our fabulous hostess Sarah is expecting and so we decided it would be great fun to have a whole series of pregnancy-related parties over the next few weeks.

Did you do anything out of the ordinary to announce a pregnancy? There are certainly some creative ways out there...







Now, on to the link-up! 


The Hosts:



Host, Lisa, Friday Frivolity Superbowl / Football Memes Edition! (Sort of, Not Really...  ;P) Plus the Friday Frivolity LINKY PARTY - the blog link-up for all things Fun, Funny, Happy, and Hopeful!
