Baby showers, like bridal showers, have great possibilities. On one hand, the event could be a sweet celebration with close friends in anticipation of an amazing, life changing event. The other possiblity, not to sound ungrateful, is a pile of useless gifts and too much cake.

Last week I was talking with some local indie business people about the need for a space where parents can work and network with their kiddos in tow -- something like a playground or a cafe that was both kid- and parent-friendly. So this morning I was pleased when I received word that just such a spot is slated to open this weekend.
Playmatters, which will celebrate its grand opening this Saturday on Phinney Ridge, is conceived as a place where parents and other caregivers can network while their children ages birth through five can safely play.
