I swear I wanted to.
I wanted to be one of those moms who sent out cute birth announcements after their baby was born. I wanted people to know that MY little ray of sunshine had made her debut and they should all be in awe.
But alas, I was tired, the kid never slept and wouldn’t you know it? Any plans for any fancy baby announcements went out the window and a mass text message instead took its place. Heh.
But if I had known that Hallmark.com not only lets you upload your cutie’s photo and customize the announcement, but then it also handles the mailing for you. How freakin’ simple is that? No stamps, no addresses to worry about, no running out of envelopes. Just click and done.
Visit Hallmark.com/baby to check out their sample announcements.
To hook you up in time for the holidays, one very lucky Mom will win a $50 Hallmark.com gift card to be used on its Personalized Baby Announcements line. (The gift card is also good for personalized birthday, holiday and other everyday greetings.)
TO ENTER: Leave a comment below saying what you love most about being a young mom (or a mom in general). For one extra entry, become a fan of The Young Mommy Life on Facebook. (If you’re already a fan, say so in your comment.)
Giveaway ends Friday at 5 p.m. Winner will be announced on Facebook so stay tuned!
I love being told “I love you mommy”, for no reason at all. That moment makes every other crazy moment seem more than worth it. And you know I’m already a fan
@Aja – I feel like I won the lottery when my kids say, “I love you.” It’s like a full moon – usually only one a month! LOL.
What a generous giveaway! I’m not yet a mom, but I plan to be soon after I get married after this upcoming spring. My fiance and I are on a tight budget so it would be nice to win this towards a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner invitation to use towards our wedding.
Thanks for the opportunity!

@Nicole-Lyn – Yes, I think the gift card can be used on other announcements….Thanks for entering and congrats on the wedding!
I love being a young mom because who knows what else I’d be doing if I wasn’t “mommin it up”… Plus it means when I’m old I’ll never be knocked up again or have to do that newborn thing again; someday my sleep will return to me.
Wow, thats really cool. You should really do this more often because I am sure it really helped someone out. Hallmark is seriously the coolest store ever haha! They just built one near me too which is dangerous!

I love when my kids want to cuddle for no reason. It’s the best moment of the day.

WHEN GOD MADE ME A MOM AT FIRST I WAS SO SCARE;AFTER GIVING BIRTH TO MY SON AND DAUGHTER THERE WAS SUCH A CHANGE IN MY LIFE. I KNEW THE MOMENT I HEAR THAT CRY I LOVED THEN UNCONDITIONALLY. I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT ABOUT ME BUT ALL ABOUT MY CHILDREN. I THANKED GOD FOR THE MOST WONDERFUL BLESSING IN THE WORLD. I THANKED GOD BECAUSE HE SAVED MY LIFE AND PREPARE ME FOR WHAT LIE AHEAD. I CHERISH MY CHILDEREN WITH ALL THAT I HAD WITHIN ME, THEY BECAME MY VERY BEST FRIENDS. NOW THAT THEY HAVE CHILDREN THEY OFTEN COME BACK TO ME AND SAY; “MOM I PRAY THAT WE CAN BE A GOOD PARENT LIKE YOU WERE. THANK YOU GOD FOR THE MOST 2 WONDERFUL BLESSINGS THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME.
