Pregnancy comes with more responsibility than just raising a babe; you also have to write thank you notes for another impending lil person. So when putting pen to paper to relay your gratitude, make sure the cards reflect your personality. Bonnie Marcus & Co. has a great collection for women with swollen bellies and new mommies.

Mommy Dearest,
While I don't look forward to writing thank-you notes, I think it's common courtesy to write them anytime you or your lil one gets a gift.
Lately, I've been at a crossroads on how to write them. My little boy is only 13-months-old and obviously can't write them himself. 
People used to joke that when they gave me a present, the thank-you note arrived at their houses before they got home from the party. Family and friends have been ridiculously generous to my husband, children, and me, and I know it's important to not only recognize their generosity, but also teach my kids that it's appropriate to send thank-you notes.
Expressing gratitude for a gift is something that was ingrained in me as a child. 
Now that the gifts are opened and tossed around your living room, it's time to thank those doting family members who spoiled your child rotten.
If your lil one is old enough to write, have a contest to see who can write the most thank you notes in a specific time frame. It will encourage you both to write your letters in a time efficient manner. 
Kids tear the wrapping off presents faster than you can grab the cards. And, when you're at a chaotic family get together keeping track of who gave your kids what is quite a task.
So this Christmas give them some incentive by turning it into a game. RSS Feed
