My Favorite Letterpress Wedding Invitations

These are some of my favorite letterpress wedding invitations I have found scouring the Internet. the lovely designs are so simple and Elegant. I remember when we got married there were no limitations on the Internet and we knew a letterpress printer in New York that was very good at the time. Today there are thousands of letterpress printers in New York and the one we used is not very good. In fact now she has a terrible reputation. But the first invitation we did was actually hand calligraphed and then scanned in that scam was used to print the invitation. It really was a lovely design and we still have a copy of it today.

Cool Baby Products Worth Their Salt

My wife and I have used several baby jumpers and bouncers as we raised our two daughters and I have concluded that the best one is the Fisher Price Cradle swing, the Graco Pack n Play and the Exersaucer. Now these products do change from year to year but they are usually simple changes and safety enhancements that make the product better.

The Fisher-Price cradle swing has been a staple product in our house for years. It is great for naps and times when you just need to put your child down for a few minutes while you get some errands done around the house.

The Graco Pack n Play, what can I say? This is probably the most popular item on the market today for infants and toddlers. We use this to travel to grandmother's house and on vacations when you don't have access to a crib. It also makes a great playpen we can put toys and games and let them play for hours on end.

The Exersaucer has also been a staple in our house for many of the reasons mentioned above. The great thing about the extra saucer is that it is exercise friendly. It also has many games and attachments that your child can play along with.
