Pear Tree Greetings Givewaway and Meetup Monday!

Pear Tree Greetings offers creative, classic paper products for all occasions.  They recently sent me a sample pack of their Thank You cards, and I love them.  They have such great quality and designs.  Now with email, text, and the internet, most communitcation is done electronically, but nothing is better than a handwritten note or card.  I feel like it is so much more personal and shows that you really care.  I think I may use Pear Tree for Jack's birthday "Thank you" notes!

These are just some of what they offer:

 These thank you cards can all be personalized, and there are Thank you's for every occasion!

 This month Pear Tree is giving away a set of 16 Thank You Cards or Note Cards to one of my readers.  The winner can choose a themed Thank You card, like a Christmas Thank You Card or a Baby Shower Thank You Card, or a Personalized Note Card.  Pear Tree Greetings also has some great coupon codes and discounts, if you are ready to order Christmas cards or other products.

To Win (mandatory):

Comment and tell me what your would use your cards for!

Jack-O-Lantern...and Meetup Monday

I hope you all had a great weekend!  The birthday party is over, and....it was COLD.  But it was fun.  I have pictures and will post them later this week! 

While we recover from the party craziness, I wanted to post our pictures from the pumpkin patch! Jack had a blast!  He walked SOOOOOOO much, and slept for two hours after.  The pumpkin patch is one of my favorite times of the year, and we had even more fun this year with Jack. 

Please be sure to join Meetup Monday, I hope your Monday goes by quickly.

Meetup Monday!

This weekend had perfect Fall weather.  I love weekends like this, and I am beginning to think Jack does too.  He was SOOOOO happy this weekend which made this one of the best weekends we have had together.   We also had his first year pictures taken this weekend, so I am excited to see how they turn out!  We are having his first birthday party this Saturday even though his birthday is not until October 21.  We are having it outside, and hoping the weather stays nice!  I will be sure to fill you in on all of our plans.

So before we get to meetup Monday, a couple of pictures of Jack from this weekend.  One thing I am learning, is how hard it is to take a picture of a walking 11 month old!  He will not sit still long enough for me to get a picture of him!  If any of you all have an idea on how to get them to sit still, please, let me know!

(I love how BIG his smile is here!)

Have a great  Monday, and please join me for Meetup Monday!

Meetup Monday!

I wish weekends were never-ending.  I wish Sunday mornings were every morning, and I wish lazy Saturdays were every Saturday.  We did nothing this weekend, and those are my favorite weekends.

It seems everyday Jack is doing something new or looks just a little bit older.  It is so fun, and exciting, but also sad.  I also find myself crying a lot more.  Not all bad cries.  A lot of good cries...like when Jack walked, or when he experiences something for first time or sometimes just because I can't believe he is mine.   But I am also crying knowing my tiny little baby, is no longer that.  He is growing up...fast.

So another Monday is here, which means Meetup Monday!

We have a (soon to be) walker! And meetup Monday....

1. 
   
   So I hope you all had a good weekend. I did. We did NOTHING, which is my favorite type of weekend. We played, relaxed, went to the park and went for many walks. Summer hung around another weekend, and it went by way too fast.

And....Jack is almost walking! I am thinking he will take off any day now.

This is his favorite thing to do now.  We sat for an hour today while he walked back and forth between my husband and I.  The look on his face while he walks is the cutest thing ever, like "I can't believe I am doing this!!!"

Be sure to join Meetup Monday, and I hope you have a great start to your week.  Have an extra cup of coffee for me.

Summer is definitely not over..and meetup monday!

I love summer.  I love the pool, the beach, summer nights.  But this summer is one of the hottest I remember. Our air hasn't stopped running.  It's been over 90 most of the summer and the humidity has been awful!  I am lucky we live in the midwest where we get a change of seasons, because I need a change.  I am finally getting ready for fall. 

But for now, we will enjoy those final days of summer.  We swam, visited family, and went to a birthday party. 

It was so fun!

But also soooo exhausting...if you can't tell from Jack's face.  Oh yeah, he is also really into sticking out his tounge lately.  Have a great week, and PLEASE, join meetup Monday!

10 months! and meetup monday

I hope you all had a great weekend! We are enjoying our last few weekends of summer.  We went to a few street fests, splashed in the pool, and took many wagon walks.  Jack also turned 10 months on Saturday.

If 10 months ago someone would have told me my heart would be exploding from all the love I would feel for this little guy, I wouldn't believe you.  I had no clue that it could be true...but it sure is.  It seems everyday I am more and more amazed that I have him.

I have a feeling in a few weeks Jack will be walking.  He is climbing up stairs so fast and walking along furniture one handed!  And he points at everything. I love watching him experience everything for the first time, I can just tell he is taking it all in and thinking so hard about everything. 

Only two more months until I will go from having a baby to having a toddler.  Where has time gone?

And of course no weekend would be complete without a little swinging!

And now for Meetup Monday!

Enjoy your Monday!

Meetup Monday!

This is the Monday I have been dreading all summer.  I am back at work.  The kids do not start for a week, and these are shorter days, but it's still back to work, busy mornings and nights, and missing my Jack.

I know it will be an adjustment for both of us the first few days, but I am hoping I can get over it.

I do hope, however, that you have a much better Monday than I do...which brings us to Meetup Monday!
