Personalized Valentine's Day Cards from Tiny Prints

I just sent off some Valentine's Day cards to the grandparents this afternoon, but I hadn't even thought about getting valentines for Austin's class party until today.

Since I participated in their Christmas card promotion a few months ago, Tiny Prints sent me an email asking if I would do a blog post about their classroom Valentine's Day cards.

Personalized Valentines. What a neat idea!

Tiny Prints has some cute Valentine Cards that you can make your own with text and photos, and there are even some superhero cards for boys. If you are looking for something to send to the grandparents, you might also want to check out their Valentine's Day Greeting Cards.

This batman card is one of my favorites, but I'll let Austin choose which ones we end up ordering. (Tiny Prints is going to give me some for free for doing this blog post :)

Gone Batty

I first ordered from Tiny Prints over Christmas, and I was very pleased with how our cards turned out.

You can check out Tiny Prints on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. I've found that you can often get good promo codes on these sites, so check them out before you order! Shipping is free right now, so if you were planning on buying valentine's from the store, you might as well personalize them and order from Tiny Prints!

What do you think?

Austin has made it to the half-way point of the school year. He just received his third six-weeks report card, and we are so proud of the progress that he has made (see video of him reading here).
Overall, I have a positive feeling about our public school experience so far and don't have any regrets about not homeschooling this year. Actually, by sending Austin to school to learn the basics, we have been freed up to focus more in depth on phonics and reading when he is at home. As a result, Austin is at the top of his grade-level in that area.

Toddler Classes, Part II

I mentioned in a prior post that I was going to check out some free demo classes to get ideas for a toddler movement/music class of my own.

The first place I tried was Gymboree, and it was so much fun! Too bad for the $62/month price tag.

The best thing about making cards with Shutterfly is that they give you the option to "share" your card on your blog and get a free $10 credit. Love it!
