Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on February 12, 2008
I am obsessed with stationery. I love cute little note cards, envelopes and address labels - especially if they are personalized. In this age of email, googlechat and Facebook (Momtourage members Jen and Hallie suckered me into setting up my own page, even though I’m still convinced it’s mainly for high schoolers and college kids), isn’t it nice to receive a handwritten note in the good old fashioned mail?
I recently came across the ultra cool stationery and cards from Erin Condren. It’s graphic and modern, yet still classically sweet and traditional. This Valentine’s Day I sent out personalized Valentine’s Cards from her Valentine’s Day line (she has all sorts of other seasonal card offerings too). I don’t want to spoil it for those who will be receiving them, so I won’t reveal which ones I chose, but here are a few of her V-day styles, all of which come with coordinating address labels:
How cute is this? For just $26, you get 12 personalized cards, envelopes and matching address labels.
I love this “Love Grows” one too…$38 for 20 personalized cards, envelopes and address labels.
Erin also makes amazing personalized note cards, calling cards, gift labels and calendars (in addition to gift wrap, announcements and all sorts of other goodies):
“Double Dip” flat notecards, $38 for a set of 20 personalized cards, envelopes and matching address labels.
Don’t you think a personalized set of one of the above would make an amazing gift for your mom, friend, sister or wife? Soooo much cooler than flowers or chocolate, no? You may have missed the deadline for a Valentine’s Day delivery, but you can always print out an image of the cards and tuck it onto a valentine, letting the one you love know what’s on the way. Visit erincondren.com to order yours!

The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.
