How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Making Memories With Hallmark

in Uncategorized on 07/31/11

I am a planner. I make lists, I use calendars, I live by schedules and check marks.  I am constantly dreaming of my next vacation.  I think this constant state of planning has a drawback.  Every once in a while I am slapped in the face with a moment of shock.  Shock that time is passing me by and my babies are growing up much too fast! 

My goal this summer, slow down time!  Ha.  I know I can’t do that, but what I can do, make some great memories and capture the moments along the way. 

I am very lucky to be part of the Hallmark Press Pause Panel and their new beautiful products are helping me capture the special moments of my summer. 

Introducing the Recordable Memory Album!

HallmarkAlbRecordable Memory Albums let you record a personal message of up to 60 seconds for each two-page spread. Albums feature designed endliners, a dedication page and 10 pages with die-cut frame pockets to hold 10 4×6 photos. A lock feature keeps your recordings safe, regardless of battery life. Three replaceable AAA batteries are included.

So now those pictures of the water balloon fights, the cake that went wrong, a picnic in the park and endless hours of “synchronized” swimming can all be enhanced with commentary by my two enthusiastic daughters.  Love!

Another great product to help capture the moments, is the Family Tree Frame Holder. 

Proudly hang your heritage on this elegant metal family tree, and add to it as your family grows.

Aww cuteness!  I love that I can change the pictures around on a whim and there are a huge variety of frames to choose from!  My girls of course love that they are free to decorate the tree anyway they please. A true family project, making memories as we preserve them!

Now time to get off this computer and go make some memories!

      Hallmark has so many great products for you, your family and even friends and I love how sentimental the products usually are or comical.

      I can’t even tell you how much I love the recordable album idea. What a gift to future generations that could be!

      I love Hallmark. It is the only place I shop for cards and gifts.
      They make the most unique items.

      Love the recordable memory album! It is perfect for lazy quasi-scrapbookers like me. 🙂

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
