Storkie $50 Gift Card giveaway


Storkie makes invitations and announcements “with style.” They have cards for pretty much every occassion: everything related with babies, religious events, weddings, graduations, parties and holidays. I was really excited when they contacted me about making some birth announcements because I hadn’t made any yet! (How late did you guys send yours?? I know Ryan is 2.5 months old, but… I’ve been busy! LOL)

They have a good selection of cards and once you pick the design, they’re totally customizable. You can pick the font, size, images, text, colors… everything! I really liked that aspect of Storkie–and it was really easy to do.


I chose the card “2+2 on blue and brown” because I knew I couldn’t narrow down the pictures I wanted to use and this design let’s you put in 4! You can put in whatever wording you want, but they also have a list of ideas for you. Choosing my 4 pictures took me the most time, designing the card was a piece of cake. Plus you can save it and come back to it later–and even share it on facebook or by email to get feedback from your friends and family before placing your order. Check out mine!


Cute, right?! I love the phrase… “A star fell down from heaven and landed in our arms, with all of mommy’s sweetness, and all of daddy’s charm.” Aww. I put in 2 of his hospital pictures and 2 of my other favorites from when he was little (well, littler than he is now!!) You can also get matching thank you cards, address labels, postage stamps, etc. And you can get the cards in color, sepia or black and white–like I said, completely customizable! I’m very happy with the cards I got–they arrived quickly, the card is thick and the print is of great quality. I can’t wait to send them out!

My little sailor man

My grandpa was in the Navy and my husband always called him Sailor. It was cute :) As many of you know, my grandpa passed away in December a couple weeks before Ryan was born….

My mom bought Ryan this little Sailor’s outfit from Hartstrings and I brought him over to her house on Saturday in the outfit to surprise her on her birthday. She took some pics–and even put my grandpa’s hat from the Navy on him. Too cute! :)


Then…. Ryan had enough! He started crying, which turned into screaming, and mama decided it was time to go home. I was putting him in his car seat and my mom thought it was funny so she took pictures of me. When Ryan screams (I’m sure other mamas know how I feel!) I get all flustered and start sweating and I try to move so quickly! Haha. My mom definitely got a laugh from it:

(yea, now I’m wearing the sailor hat)
Whoohoo, successfully strapped in his car seat. TIME TO GO! :)

Daddy loves Raffi

I grew up with Raffi… I even went to his concert and sat front row when I was in SIXTH GRADE. I know, a little old… and I sure heard about it from all my friends at school. We have 3 Raffi CDs for Ryan now and I think I may enjoy singing them more than Ryan does… but know who else enjoys it?! DADDY!
