Anna and Blue Paperie for The Sparrow Fund

Stefanie’s a stay-at-home mom of two girls in Austin, TX and the owner of anna and blue paperie, an online shop specializing in personalized prints for everyday events. After many requests from friends to make personalized paper goods for them, she was inspired to offer her products online.

In a day and age of emails and texting, there is something totally refreshing about personalized paper goods, don’t you think? They are modern and trendy and yet classic at the same time.

In the shop, you will find all sorts of printables, stationery, gift tags, labels, party decor and more. And, every item can be fully customized to suit your taste, event, or just because.

Stefanie has a heart for adoption and adoptive families. She told me about friends who had 3 biological children but always wanted to adopt. They took a leap and started fostering a sibling set of 3 little ones. And, they just learned that they are going to be able to adopt them. Three more children with a forever family! So great!

Please go visit Stefanie’s blog and her etsy shop. Thank her for her generosity in supporting adoptive families and The Sparrow Fund. And, while you are at it, order some super adorable goodies!

Sunday Snapshots: {7 children}

7 children under the age of 9 isn’t as hard as one may think.
That is, for one night at least.

We gotta good thing goin’ – we take their 3 bigger kids for an overnight so they can be home and enjoy some quiet and ooh and ahh at their baby girl Vera who is totally worthy of lots of oohs and ahhs. And, we get a bit of chaos but a whole lot of fun as the 7 here run around in circles in our house, run around in circles outside our house, make a whole lot of noise, play wii, quote every movie they’ve seen in the last year verbatim (if you can understand them through the laughter)…you get the idea. It’s good times. They all (minus Lydia) crash in our living room watching a movie and then get picked up sometime late morning the next day.

Both families may pay for it a bit Saturday afternoon when the late night catches up with them, and we find ourselves with some fussy kids. But, it’s totally worth it.

You know why?

Next month, I will drop my 3 bigger kids off at their house, wave goodbye as they look away from the wii for a nano second, and then leave with Lydia (a sad Lydia, no doubt) in tow to come home to a quiet house.

Quiet house.

Maybe we’ll go out for dinner with only one kiddo which will seem like a breeze (theoretically). Or, maybe we’ll put her to bed early and order some food in to enjoy by. our. selves.

Either way, as fun as it was this weekend. I’m looking forward to our Friday night date in May already.
