Thank-You Notes for Baby Gifts

Thank you note stationeryI am not one of those new mothers who enjoys writing thank you notes but I realize that nothing takes the place of a thoughtful, hand-written note. I know I always get a thrill when I receive an envelope in the mail from a friend.

I received delightful gifts from friends and family when "B" was born and I wanted to send thank-you notes before time got away from me with a newborn in the house.

Store and Display Kids' Art

Storage frame for children's artwork

B has become interested in creating and displaying the artwork he's created this past year. For Valentines Day, Auntie Nancy gave him the [amazon B002YK7750] and Princeton brush set and he uses it everyday. Naturally, he likes to display his masterpiece of the day and I like to promote the pride he has in his work, so I display it right away.  My problem was that I was challenged to find a display method that worked.

Safe, Sturdy, Non-tip Kids Step Stool

Learning Tower for kids

B is a hands-on boy. He not only must participate in the the goings-on in our daily home life, but he must direct the activities too - this behavior began at about 18 months. Many of our daily activities involve doing things in the kitchen and I realized right away that if I was going to get anything done throughout the day, B needed to have a safe stool to lift him up to counter height - a chair was not going to work.  

Primetime Party Zone

Primetime Party Rentals - North Shore of Boston

I'm planning a Halloween party this year and from past experience I've learned that the best way to keep kids happy, occupied and having fun at a party is to rent games, inflatables, and entertainers. Last year, I hired a company from Peabody Perfect Parties USA. Perfect Parties USA customer service and professional staff were outstanding and all of the equipment was clean and safe. I was very happy with their service and I plan to use them for my personal and corporate parties.

Mabel's Labels - My order arrived!

Mabel's Labels

When B began nursery school this month, I wondered how I would manage keeping track of his belongings. If he removed his shoes, coat, or sweater, how were his teachers going to identify them as his? How could I make it easier on his teachers? I knew his cool back-to-school essentials had a good chance of ending up in the lost and found box. Then I found Mabel’s Labels Ultimate Back-to-School Combo set.

The Bev Card

The Bev Card - TheBevCard.com

I noticed a few of my favorite local businesses offer discounts through a membership with The Bev Card. It’s like one of those books of coupons wrapped up into one plastic card. With new deals from North Shore businesses added all the time! Just show The Bev Card at a local participating business and save. The card can be used over and over again, unless a business mentions otherwise.
