One. Big.

Christmas present, perhaps?

My mom and I went in together to make a photo book for my nephew’s birthday.  We titled it Our favorite introduction: meeting micah vernon – july 2009.  We wrote a wee story and added pictures from our trip to Sweden.   It turned out so good my mom cried.  Several times.  Okay fine, I may have shed a tear or two as well, but that is totally not the point. 

What exactly is the point, you ask? 

The point is this: after considerable deliberation we chose MyPublisher – and we couldn’t have been happier.  They were great to work with.  I had a funky font issue at one point and a member of their support team quickly resolved the issue.  They made sure to note possible spelling errors before I submitted it for print.  I actually cancelled a print job one time – within the allotted time – without issue.  And once the project was submitted, they continued to keep me in the loop … sending an email when the pages were printed … and then when the project was posted online.  All of this took a matter of days.  It did take about a week to arrive, once shipped, but that’s standard shipping time from New York.  

Needless to say, if you’re looking to give the gift of memories this year, check out MyPublisher.   See how they can make those best of days, live forever …

A special day indeed!

Happy 1st birthday sweet baby boy …

Your auntie and nana wish we could be there to kiss your face … and laugh … and clap … and sing!  We’d wear silly hats, eat yummy cake, and open presents!  We’d take a ton of pictures!!!

But, alas, a whole ocean separates us …

So instead, we must send our loves on wings.  And pray a new year, full of the grandest of adventures, awaits!

When in life the leaves must fall

I got off my rumpkis on Friday and raked leaves.  One hour.  Six bags.  A relatively clear yard.  It was a beautiful thing.  Then I woke up on Saturday to snow – snow which knocked the remainder of the leaves off the trees.  When I looked out the back window, it looked as though I hadn’t raked at all.  Rude. 

So, I did the only thing to do …

I sat in a pile, grabbed a handful, and frolicked. 

So here’s to you and a brand new week.  May you make the best of what may fall …

Because some have no respect
