This week, I want to share a great online resource that I found. For me, it's unnatural to demand that my kids say "thank you!" Still, I want them to learn gratitude, so I like to get them involved in the process of sending out thank-you notes. Thanks to these fun coloring cards from Fisher Price, I can print out appropriate greetings and have the kids help by coloring them. The site also has holiday cards for some holidays (including Valentines, if you still need those), birthdays, get well, and "just because." Staples sells the perfect size envelopes (they were 9.99 for 100 locally), which makes the entire package less than 25 cents! That's cheaper than the dollar store, and much more meaningful. Here, you can see one that they colored for my Dad's birthday last week. I'm 90% certain that those spiraly-things are supposed to be helicopters.

Mommy Tools Monday: Kids' Greeting Cards
Now that I'm trying to commit to daily blogging, I thought it would fun to have theme days. So on Mondays, I'll be talking about what I call "mommy tools." These could be any sort of product or process that make my life easier, and that other mommies may find useful.
