Thank You Notes Your Kids Will Want to Write

 

Now that the holidays are over, we’re experiencing a different kind of season at our house – thank you note season! I know I was supposed to have those written and sent a couple of weeks ago, but better late than never, right? My mom (who I hope isn’t reading this) would disagree. I remember her hounding me as a kid after every gift giving occasion to get those thank you notes written and in the mailbox. ...read more

A New Year Calls for a Celebration!

Cheers to a More Organized Year!

 

In 2012, I want to keep my home and family organized, so I went all out with calendars, to-do lists, and an amazing resource binder. I knew by starting the year off with all the right tools, I’d be setting myself up to keep what could otherwise be a pretty tough resolution! FedEx Office® was the ultimate one-stop shop for getting everything in order. I used them to make all the items that I hope will make 2012 my most productive and organized yet!

My dad has been interested in starting a photography business and this is a great way for him to display his work in a larger-than-life format (No exaggeration! Boston is only five pounds!). Another idea is making your kids’ artwork or family photo into art on canvas as a special gift for Valentine’s Day.
