New Etsy Store

Visit http://www.browneyeblue.etsy.com/ (the mom from mymomshops blog!) She opened a new etsy store that sells beautiful photo cards from photos she has taken herself. Very high quality and gorgeous pictures to choose from!

Oliver's Labels

Was on Mommies with style (another great mommy shopping blog) the other day and they had a post about Oliver's Labels. I had written about these before but saw that they had some new, updated items. With their 10% off discount code (oliversfriends) I immediately ordered these saftey wristbands for both John & Anna ($11.99 for 17.)

Great for field trips, amusement parks, you name it! I put their name and my cell phone number on it. Knowing Anna is a runner, I found this to be a great product!

While there, I finally ordered my mini tags for them too. Little name tags for their back packs and lunch boxes. Really cute! http://www.oliverslabels.com/

Memories

Today is the perfect day to write about memories. Although it is a day that we associate with loss, I instead want to focus on good memories. Those that you can keep with you forever.

And maybe Anna & John too, just something dear to have and to share.
