I was recently enjoying a girl's night out/baby shower celebrating the birth of my daughter Sadie with my girlfriend's.  After I opened up the beautiful gifts almost everyone in unison said, "Please, we know how busy you are - don't worry about writing a thank you".    I couldn't believe my ears and had to refill my glass!  The conversation went further as my friends pondered who began this crazy, time consuming tradition after all?

PSA Stamps have sold like hot cakes this year.  Thank goodness they are refillable!  My kids love them just as much as I do - they work as great entertainment for my guys when I am busy in the kitchen. 

I just selected personalized thank you notes for my boys to send to friends and grandparents to thank them for their Christmas gifts which began to arrive last week.  I chose the flat dinosaur notecards from Milo Papers as they are so adorable with the double sided design featuring their names together on top. Teaching children to express their gratitute at an early age is very important; especially during a time when things are so plentiful - yes even in a current day recession our children "have" so much.  My oldest is four and a half so his participation in the p
