Ode to Evite: You are so easy to use and have so many invites to choose from and the best part of all...YOU SAVE ME SO MUCH MONEY! I used you yesterday to invite 41 people to my daughter's 2nd birthday party. Let's see, 41 times 44 cents (the current price of postage) equals $18.04 plus about $30 for store bought invitations comes out to a $48.04 savings..that's almost $50!
I have been criticized for using you Evite...some say you're not personal enough, well I say, how is sending something in the mail any more personal than email? Is it because you spent money on a piece of paper and postage that will eventually be thrown in the garbage? I think the only way you can make a party invitation more personal is by delivering the invitation or news about the party "in person." Therefore, Evite, I will continue using you for my party invitations, because even though you are not tangible, you are still made with love and sealed with a kiss!
Disclaimer: I am not criticizing those who like to use store bought invitations and send them in the mail. I love getting mail! I am only stating my reasons for loving to use Evite. ;)
I want to be in all senses of the words, All. Things. Mama.
As far back as I can remember I've wanted to be a mom, not just any mom, but the mom that stays home with her kids full time. The mom who loves even when she is not loved back, who can't breathe without thinking of her kids first. The mom who loves teaching, playing, cooking, baking, laughing, and kissing owies. The mom who is ALL THINGS MAMA. My husband and I scrimp so that dream can be fulfilled. Being a mom is not part time for me. It is something that has captured my heart. All of the going ons of my life start with thoughts of my kids. My kids consume my love and my life and I allow it because, with God's help they are the essence of what makes me a mother. This is me...
kids: the reason for moms

Made with love, sealed with a kiss, and used because it just makes sense or cents, depending on how you look at it. :)
