morning to-do list

/

Every year I design a back-to-school morning to-do check list for my kids. Boy, how this sheet of paper saves so much morning hassle and heartache. It teaches responsibility and keeps me from breathing down their neck to make sure everything is remembered. I thought I'd post our family list this year in hopes that it may give you a little extra time and peace of mind during your a.m. routine. Best wishes for a relaxing morning full of sunshine! Free printable is for personal use only.

Today's photo comes from my daughter. Last weekend we sent her to college with teary eyes and a hope that we have given her a strong upbringing to handle life on her own. Within a week, we have become Facebook friends and texted more than ever. Who would have thought that she would see life in it's beauty so quickly with that Nikon. All the best to you Emma and your wonderful talent in capturing moments like this. You make me very proud. Here's wishing your first weekend at college a fun one! And oh yes, University of Delaware Blue Hens won 31-0!

I guess it's that time of year again. Back to a regimented schedule and cooler air. (Personally, my favorite time of year.) I usually try and get a little creative to make the back-to-school routine fun for my girls in hopes that it'll bring a little smile to their face in the middle of the day. I thought I'd design a page full of printable lunch notes for you to sneak into your child's lunch box from time to time to share with your kiddos! Any interest in personalizing lunch notes specifically for your own kids? Do you have something you say to them everyday? Do they have a favorite color or sport? If so, we can most certainly create a custom page just for you. If these are fine, go right ahead a print to your liking. Happy back-to-school! Enjoy!  Available for personal use only.

Today's post is in honor of my daughter heading off to college this weekend. I surely remember when she was three, and all of a sudden she's leaving tomorrow to start a life of her own. Oh the world that awaits... Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend with your kiddos.

winter in august?

A winter wonderland birthday in the middle of August?...you better believe it. Here at Silverbox we have the Christmas music playing as we design your 2010 holiday cards. So when the request came in for an ice skating party at summer's end, you know we were up for the challenge. These invitations were sent out in a snow globe and box with filler to set the mood of this gold medal invite. Unfortunately, our vendor no longer sells these snow globes. We've since started selling this option of a new globe invitation.
