A friend of mine (who had a baby recently) expressed concern on the phone to me the other day. “Jenn,” she said, “the days crawl by, but the years are passing so quickly.” I knew exactly what she meant. The days seem to take forever to get from start to finish, but holy ^%&$*#, how in the world is it possible that it’s winter again, and that the holidays are around the corner? I think this is the plight of moms and dads everywhere. The older we get, the faster time passes (and the more tired we are at 10:30am, when the babies seem like they’re never going to nap and relieve us of our parental duties for long enough to close our own eyes and\/or take a shower!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In hopes of making sure that the years don’t pass so quickly, again, I want to follow up my last blog post – which was about baby announcements. I think I need to make a much larger effort to be a teeny bit more consistent with my posts (same ol’ story, faithful readers!) so here we go.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last I wrote, I lamented about how to crawl out of the sleep deprived, newborn baby hell that was my life back in January\/February, and create beautiful, jaw dropping birth announcements for Hazel, the newest member of the Topliff family.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well, with a little brainstorming and a few zzzz’s under my belt, this is what I came up with! Just thought I’d share it with you all (patting myself on the back right now, is that so wrong?!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some of you may have received this in the mail, but for those who didn’t, this was how I threw caution to the wind (and my husband’s ideal budget for this project) and put the 13 Creative mark on Hazel’s introduction to the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
