I’m always thrilled to bits to get personal, handwritten notes. But I can’t help but snicker when I get a thank you note supposedly written in first-person by a newborn. Are the new parents already outsourcing their chores to these (clearly gifted)...

Thanks to the lovely interweb, it’s easier than ever to inform the world about a change of address. But if you’re like me, you’d rather do the classy thing and kick it old school with the snail mail. That’s exactly what I’m going to do to...

The one time in my life I was totally dilligent about thank you notes was after the birth of my daughter. I couldn’t thank everyone enough for nine months of love, support, and yeah, the gifts. The outstanding selection of cards at Paper Mama demonstrates that...

It’s always a challenge to find the right stationery for the wonderful (yet daunting) post-shower or birthday party thank-you list. And even when you do, if you buy too many, you’re stuck with 15 cards that scream "thank you for the lovely shower...

I don’t entirely understand all the ducks and lambs and barnyard animals on children’s stationery. I mean in my urban neck of the woods, where does a child even see any of those things, let alone grow to love them? ‘Round these parts, it’s all...
