The back-to-school ads may be filled with crayons and paper, but a mom of a house filled with school-aged kids knows there's more to the list than that. Mama needs to add a few key items to that list to ensure that everything runs smoothly throughout the year. After filling your cart with scissors, glue, hand sanitizers, and everything else the teachers recommend, check out our list of must-have items every mom should add to her school-year arsenal!
There are two camps on the birth announcement field — those who gravitate to more modern ones with photos of the baby and those who prefer traditional cards that simply introduce the newborn.
If you are in the latter camp, the chic, clean designs of New York-based Pretty Printing should be right up your alley. Created by a former fashion executive, the company's line of birth announcements and thank you notes feature preppy iconography such as boats, anchors, prams and monogrammed onesies. Pretty Printing's simple approach can also be seen in the beautiful patterns and whimsical icons — ice cream cones, boat totes, espadrilles and wellies that are offered on their party invitations ( baby showers and children's birthdays), stationery and moving announcements.
