Thursday Tidbits

1. Let's start by embracing the camera, shall we? Patrick took these pictures of Manny and I before we went shopping last weekend...before Manny decided he was really sick. :) Fortunately he is doing much better now though!

2. Thanks for all of the sweet comments on the water bottle labels! I've had some people ask me if I print my stuff at home. And yes, I almost always do. I have a nice printer but it's definitely not top of the line. However, the trick is the type of paper you print it on. I use Epson Matte Presentation Paper. It is more expensive, but is definitely worth it. I used to have a $50 printer and using this paper would make all the difference in the world. I have purchased it at Wal-Mart before, even though that link says they don't have it in stores...but it definitely isn't in every store. I'm sure you could also get it at Staples or Office Depot, etc.

3. I wanted to give you guys a HUGE thank you because you helped Manny win the Valentine's photo contest!! We won some fun prizes and when I get them in, I think I will pay it forward and have a little giveaway. :)

4. As you can see, the baby shower planning is coming along. Thanks for your feedback on games. It seems the popular vote is baby shower bingo...which is funny, because that's also what I did at this same girl's bridal shower. :) I think it's a good way to keep people involved, and definitely a safe bet when it comes to an unfamiliar crowd. Anyway, I thought I'd share the bingo board I made in case anyone else wants to use it too. You can download it by clicking here.

Well, I'm headed to a local consignment sale. I can't believe it's already time to stock up on summer clothes for my nearly one year old! Wish me luck. :)
