I recently posted about shopping for this years holiday cards for our family to send out and am happy to announce that I made a decision and the cards have been printed and delivered to the house. Now I just need to start addressing envelopes and get them sent out. I am hoping to have them all addressed and ready to go within the next two weeks just to ensure that when it is time to get them in the mailbox they are ready to go!

This year we made the decision to get our cards from Tiny Prints because in all honesty, they were the company that met all of our needs and had our favorite design. When I say our, I mean our entire family made the decision to choose the card we did, which pictures were used and everyone gave their final approval before the order was submitted.

As an added bonus, on November 9th, 2011, you can take advantage of Tiny Prints 1 Day Promotion and receive a FREE card to your kids from Santa Claus by visiting the Tiny Prints Facebook Page and personalizing one of two great cards! This offer ends on 11/9/11 at 11:59 PM (PT)

Only 63 Days Til Christmas!

Anne Younger Leave a comment

Can you believe it? As of today, there are only 63 days left until Christmas.
I have been working hard to get things in order around here since we are anticipating having a baby right around the same time.
AAlexH!
I know, we are C-R-A-Z-Y!!!
One thing that I really like to make sure is done prior to Thanksgiving is place my order for our Christmas Cards that we mail out to our family and friends.

I like to start looking at holiday card designs as soon as websites start advertising that their new designs are available and then I have to find the perfect card to go with the perfect picture or pictures of the kids.

This year, I’ve been ‘window’ shopping for cards at Tiny Prints and have found a few designs that I really love.

These are my top 3 choices

I love to choose cards with multiple picture spaces so everyone gets their own little spot to display their personality.

Now that I have it narrowed down to 3 cards, I have to find the best pictures to go with them….this is not an easy task. Plus, I have to decide if I should include an ultrasound picture of Baby Ellie on the card as well or do I wait for her to make her greeting card debut next Christmas??

Decisions, decisions.
What is a mom to do?

Tell me, what helps you decide which holiday card your family sends out??

Father’s Day Traditions

Anne Younger Leave a comment

For years all my sister and I heard that my dad wanted for Father’s Day was a new hose reel.
Every time we were told he wanted one, we obliged and made the purchase.
These days he asks for things such as gift cards so he can save up for a certain item.
This year he wants gift cards towards a remote starter for his new car.
Yes, he gets expensive but so did my sister and I over the years.
Needless to say, I’m sure he’ll be pleased once again this year.

When it comes to Father’s Day within my own house, things are a little different.
My Alex doesn’t really ask for anything other than a few extra hours of sleep or to get out of chores for the day.
Yeah, he is just that sweet.
Even though he doesn’t usually ask for anything I try to have the kids do something nice for him.
This year I am still trying to figure out just what to do.

I’ve been looking around online and have visited Tiny Prints a few times debating on making him a custom Father’s Day card.

This year, I think the Alex’s biggest Father’s Day gifts are that we are expecting another child and that he will be adopting Zack and Libby the first week of June.

What else could I possibly give him for Father’s Day to show him just how much we love him other than that?
Any suggestions???

Mother’s Day is just around the corner

Anne Younger Leave a comment

I love Mother’s Day.
Believe it or not, I actually love Mother’s Day MORE than my birthday!
My kids have always made Mother’s Day great and that’s why I enjoy it so much.
Last year for Mother’s Day, the kids made me cards, attempted to serve me breakfast in bed and then took me out for lunch AND dinner!
It was such a nice day.
And it has to be the best one I have had in the 12 years I have been a mom EXCEPT….
my first Mother’s Day will always be my favorite.
Zack was born in February 1999, so my first Mother’s Day was when he was a few days shy of being 3 months old.
My mom went out of her way to get me a card from him (that I still have).
Not to mention that day care also made sure I got a little something from him as well….

This is the front of the Mother’s Day Card Zack ‘made’ me for my 1st Mother’s Day in 1999.

Your first Mother’s Day is one you never forget and I know that I never will.
Over the years, the kids have made me a few other pieces of artwork and I thought I would share with you because homemade gifts from kids are truly the best kind!!

Mom Rocks Mother’s Day card from Libby 2009

These are the best gifts a mom can get!
I don’t have any homemade Mother’s Day cards from Alexander just yet, but I’m pretty sure that this year I will receive my first!!
Cards are a great way to say Happy Mother’s Day and Tiny Prints offers a great selection of cards for you to create your own unique cards.
