Celebrating a very special mama-to-be

Sometimes magic happens at work. 

You meet someone you feel like you've known for years. Someone you can't believe has been missing from your life up until your first conversation...the one in which you're basically finishing each other's sentences by the time you're finished. 

That's how I've always felt about my friend Kali. 

And now Kali's a mom! But before her baby said hello, we honored her with gathering her favorite ladies for stories, suggestions, lots of laughter, mimosas, and plenty of coffee cake (mom's choice!).

 Photo backdrop for a book I still haven't finished for the mama.

 Bevs, and Kal's Hot Tamales.

 "Kali's favorites" raffle.

 The spread.

 Terrible photo proof of all the lovely ladies in attendance.

 Blurry shot of the mom-to-be and her mom.

The sisters-in-law and ma-in-law.
