It’s time to celebrate Spring mommies-to-be! On March 10, Nickelodeon’s ParentsConnect will hold its second seasonal Virtual Baby Shower, hosted by celebrity broadcaster and mom, Jillian Barberie Reynolds.

Moms can join Jillian in this daylong celebration featuring online games, tons of prizes, advice and more. They can even invite their friends to participate and make new friends, too. Jump in at anytime, or stay all day!

Jillian recently had her second child in January and a baby shower of her own in December. Some of her tips for throwing a great baby shower include:

1) Pick a theme color and go for it! Ruby’s baby shower was all pink, for a princess! Rocco’s was super cool in baby blue and silver!

2) Have lots of sweet treats not just the cake, your amped up guests then will stick it out even through all the gifts.

3) Place cards! Where guests are sitting can make or break a party. If your best friend doesn’t get along with your cousin put them at opposite ends of the party, then everyone will have a good time.

The Virtual Baby Shower next week will feature more great tips and lots of fun. In the meantime, Moms can check out this link to get started:
