hopefully dad's got a good sense of humor...

i was really moved by nicholas kristof's editorial in today's new york times.
so, no snazzy shirts for dad this year.
no more amazon gift cards.
this year, dad's getting a homemade card and a contribution to one of the worthy causes kristof talks about in his column.
i'm sort of leaning towards a contribution to one of the landmime sniffing rats but i want to discuss with my daughters first.

about me

here's how this whole greeting card thing got started. my kids were off at camp, my husband was off somewhere being smart and the dog was walked and fed. i had some extra time. plus the idea of making some money was pretty appealing. my cards are all made by me. i write them the way i speak which my husband says isn't very nice (sometimes) but my girlfriends seem to appreciate immensely. so, in- between loading the dishwasher and all the other important stuff i do, i think of ways to acknowledge the everyday with a little bit of humor and honesty.
