May 25, 2012

Each year as I look for the right Father’s Day cards to send to my Dad on Father’s Day, I recall the many reasons I love him so much.  I honestly don’t know how he tolerated some the things his nine darling children did.  I think his two pet peeves, at least with me, were [...]

Photo Birth Announcements For Boys Settle The Great Debate

May 23, 2012

The debate has been raging since my son was born. It shows no signs of letting up but I think there’s a resolution in sight. My mother is sure he looks like her father, “right down to that cute button nose”. My Mother-in-law thinks he looks nothing like my side of the family, and insists [...]

May 18, 2012

I know I cannot be the only son who has not had the best relationship with their father.

Personalized Graduation Announcements – Great for Families and Friends

May 11, 2012

When my children graduated from high school I enclosed their graduation picture in the Christmas cards I sent out that year. I didn’t send out personalized graduation announcements. I never even thought of doing that; in fact, I didn’t even know they existed until I received some from my cousin’s children for their graduations. One [...]

Photo Birth Announcements Are A Must

May 9, 2012

Please do the right thing and send out photo birth announcements!  There are millions of us grandmas and grandpas out here that need these cards to show off with.  Somehow just telling all our friends down at the local Bingo hall does not have the same effect.  My first daughter never sent out a photo [...]

An Abundance of Graduation Party Invitations

May 4, 2012

My mom tends to go a bit overboard with anything related to me.  As an only child, I think she thinks she has to make every milestone I hit a much bigger deal than it actually is.  I learned this pretty early in my life when she invited my family and the neighbors over when [...]
